Building Inspections — with Martin Wilson & Kieran Long
Thursday, 14 August 2025
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm (Doors open 6:45 pm)
Lifepoint Church Auditorium, 61 Hopper Street, Mount Cook, Wellington

Join us for a highly practical evening with Martin Wilson (Abseil Access) and Kieran Long (CheckHome), two of Wellington’s most experienced experts in building inspection and surveying.

Martin and Kieran will share their insider knowledge on:

  • What to look for in a pre-purchase or pre-sale building inspection
  • Common issues found in Wellington homes (and how to address them)
  • Navigating reports and understanding what’s critical vs. cosmetic
  • How to budget for maintenance and repairs after purchase
  • How inspections fit into your overall investment strategy

Martin Wilson, co-founder of Abseil Access, brings 30+ years of experience in engineering, asset integrity, and safety inspections across infrastructure projects, from lighthouses to bridges.
Kieran Long, director of CheckHome, has inspected thousands of homes across Wellington and the Wairarapa and offers deep insight into residential building health.

If you’re a property investor, home buyer, or landlord, this is your chance to get expert advice on protecting your investment and avoiding costly surprises.
