Make your investment decisions backed with 25 years construction/building knowledge.

Thirteen years ago there was a problem for property buyers and sellers in NZ because there was nowhere for them to go to find out whether the HUGE decision of buying or selling their home was a smart one or not.

This is how NZHIC was born, from an ideal that people should be protected, that solutions should be provided to problems and that the whole process did not have to be a complete nightmare! From this NZHIC have grown. They have set up franchises around the country to ensure that this is a nationwide objective – helping people like you make safer investments.

NZHIC are dedicated to helping their customers make the right informed decisions.

NZHIC are very aware that concerns relating to earthquakes are very real for many New Zealanders. Until now it has been difficult for vendors and buyers to know whether or not issues relating to earthquakes are also concerns they should be having when they are making important decisions about their future properties. NZHIC inspectors make it their business to be informed about the Earthquake Commission in NZ and the Department of Housing and Business. So when any issues come up they can help their customers make the right informed decisions or refer them to the right people when expert advice is needed.
