Why it matters

Why get meth testing?

Methamphetamine testing gives you clear, evidence-based information about a property. Whether you are buying, selling, renting or managing, meth testing in Auckland helps you make confident decisions.

Buying a property

Understand whether a property has potential methamphetamine contamination before you commit to a purchase. Meth testing before buying a house means no surprises after settlement.

Selling a property

Give prospective buyers added confidence and transparency. A clear screening result helps your sale stand up to scrutiny.

Landlords & property managers

Consider rental property meth testing between tenancies, or where there are reasonable grounds to suspect contamination.

Tenants & homeowners

Gain peace of mind about the home you live in with straightforward house meth testing.

Property investors

Protect your investment and make more informed property decisions with property meth testing across your portfolio.

Meth contamination can be costly and disruptive to deal with, and it is not always visible. A screening assessment gives you the information you need to proceed with confidence, negotiate, or arrange further investigation.

Trust & credibility

What is NZS8510:2017?

NZS8510:2017 is the New Zealand standard for the testing and decontamination of methamphetamine-contaminated properties. It sets out how properties should be investigated, sampled and, where needed, remediated and validated.

Testing to a recognised standard matters. A proper process means samples are collected from appropriate locations and analysed by a laboratory, so your results are credible and defensible, not a quick guess on site.

HomeWise arranges laboratory-based analysis through an IANZ-accredited laboratory. IANZ (International Accreditation New Zealand) accredits laboratories that meet strict technical and quality standards. The accreditation applies to the laboratory that analyses the samples, not to HomeWise.
