Work With Us
Keep the fireplace from stalling the sale
An unconsented fire, a missing certificate or a buyer's insurer asking questions can hold up a settlement. We give your vendors the paperwork early, so the fireplace is a selling point rather than a sticking point.
We work with agents across Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty to check, document and sort out fireplaces before and during a sale — one call, and a written report your vendor can hand straight to the buyer.
Pre-sale
Compliance reports buyers and councils accept
Our compliance reports are written for Tauranga City Council and Western Bay of Plenty District Council — clearances, hearth, flue and the product itself, laid out to answer the questions a buyer's solicitor or council officer will ask.
Where a fire was never consented, we assess whether it can be brought up to code and produce the documentation to support a retrospective consent or Certificate of Acceptance.
Before the open home
Sweeps, safety checks and certificates
A chimney sweep with an insurance certificate, or a full safety inspection report, before the photos and open homes — so the vendor isn't caught out when a buyer or insurer asks.
Chimney sweeps and reports are booked around your listing and settlement dates.
When it has to go
Removals and replacements
If a fire can't be made compliant, we can remove it and make good, or replace it with a new consented install so the house sells with heating that's on the paperwork.
