Meet Greg: Builder-Turned House Inspector

Napier House Inspections is owned and operated by Greg Bache — a qualified builder with over 20 years of experience in the New Zealand building industry.

After a long career working hands-on in the residential sector, Greg now brings that same deep knowledge to house inspections across Napier, Hastings, and Havelock North. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just want a clearer picture of a home’s condition, Greg’s inspections are designed to give you real peace of mind.

“My career as a builder started when I got qualified back in 1999. Since then I have spent most of my time in the residential building sector — initially on new builds and more recently in insurance reinstatement work. From fixing problems with foundations under houses to repairing storm damage to roof flashings, through this work I have seen just about everything in the book.”

A Builder’s Eye for Detail

While many inspectors rely on rigid checklists, Greg brings something different: context. He knows what’s typical for a home of a certain age, what’s a future headache waiting to happen, and what just needs a lick of paint.

With decades of real-world experience behind him, Greg understands houses from the inside out. His reports go beyond ticking boxes — they’re practical, detailed, and written in everyday language that’s easy to follow.

Not a Franchise. Just One Local Guy Doing Honest Work.

Napier House Inspections is fully independent — not part of a national chain. That means Greg works for you, not a corporate checklist. When you hire him, you’re getting a local who’s genuinely invested in helping people make confident property decisions.
