Wanting to rent out your property? You will need to meet the New Zealand Healthy Home Standards to comply or be fined.

​

The Healthy Homes standards create specific and minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, draught stopping, moisture ingress and drainage in rental properties.

​

Whangarei Building Inspections provide a comprehensive report summarising the state of the property relative to the required rental standards.

​

Landlords are responsible for maintaining and improving the quality of their rental properties. These standards will help ensure landlords have healthier, safer properties and lower maintenance costs for their investments.

​

The standards will also make it easier for tenants to keep their homes warm and dry.

Compliance is made simple for you.

​

We'll provide a comprehensive report summarising the state of the property relative to the required rental standards for:

​

- Insulation

- Ventilation and extraction

- Heating

- Draught Stopping

- Moisture Ingress and drainage
