Healthy Homes Inspections — Assess Compliance On-Site
InspectPro helps property managers, landlords, and inspectors assess Healthy Homes Standards compliance quickly and professionally. Document heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture, and draught stopping — then deliver a branded report before you leave the property.
Why inspectors use InspectPro for Healthy Homes assessments
Since July 2021, all private rental properties in New Zealand must comply with the Healthy Homes Standards. Landlords and property managers need documented proof of compliance — and tenants are increasingly aware of their rights. For inspectors working in the rental market, Healthy Homes assessments are a growing part of the workload.
The five standards — heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping — each have specific requirements that need to be assessed, documented, and reported on. Missing a standard or providing incomplete documentation exposes landlords to penalties and disputes.
InspectPro gives you a structured way to assess all five standards in a single walkthrough. Set up sections for each standard, photograph the relevant features (heat pumps, insulation tags, extractor fans, subfloor drainage, window seals), add your assessment notes, and generate a professional compliance report — all from your iPhone.
Property managers love the speed. You can assess a three-bedroom rental and deliver the report in under an hour. That means more properties inspected per day, less time at the office, and faster turnaround for landlords who need compliance documentation before their deadline.
Whether you're a specialist Healthy Homes assessor, a property manager doing your own inspections, or a building inspector expanding into the rental market, InspectPro adapts to your workflow. Create custom sections, use preset comments for common findings, and build a report template you can reuse across every property.
All five standards in one inspection
Structure your assessment around the five Healthy Homes Standards — heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping. Each section keeps your documentation organised and ensures nothing gets missed. Add custom sections for property condition, safety items, or landlord-specific requirements.
Preset comments for common findings
Speed up your documentation with preset comments tailored to Healthy Homes assessments. 'Heating source meets minimum capacity requirement', 'Ceiling insulation present — R-value meets standard', 'Extractor fan not functioning — replacement required'. Customise your presets to match the language you use in every assessment.
Instant compliance reports
Generate a branded PDF report that clearly documents compliance status for each standard. Include annotated photos showing heating sources, insulation, ventilation systems, and any issues found. Landlords and property managers get a professional document they can file for compliance records — delivered while you're still at the property.

How to assess Healthy Homes compliance with InspectPro
Step 1: Set up the assessment. Create a new inspection for the rental property. InspectPro lets you structure your report with sections for each of the five Healthy Homes Standards — heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping. Add any additional sections you need, such as general property condition or safety items.
Step 2: Assess each standard. Walk through the property and document compliance for each standard. Photograph the heating source and its capacity rating. Check ceiling and underfloor insulation — photograph the insulation type and any manufacturer labels showing R-values. Verify extractor fans in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries. Check for moisture ingress, subfloor ventilation, and drainage. Inspect windows and doors for draughts and damaged seals.
Step 3: Report and deliver. Review your assessment, add your compliance summary for each standard (compliant, non-compliant, or requires action), and generate the PDF. Send the landlord or property manager a download link immediately. They get a professional report documenting the property's compliance status, with photographic evidence and clear recommendations for any areas that don't meet the standards.
The entire assessment — from arrival to delivered report — typically takes 45-60 minutes for a standard three-bedroom property. No office time required.
