About Us
Buying or selling in Christchurch can hide costly defects that sink deals or blow up budgets. At Christchurch House Inspections we handle building inspections that find issues early before they turn into costly repairs, failed closings, or fines in Christchurch, including pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new build checks, and repair verification.
Our inspectors are licensed and insured with years of local experience in Christchurch, and we check every major system from foundation to roof against current local codes. We use thermal imaging, moisture meters, crawlspace cameras, and drones where safe to document problems you cannot see.
You get a same day digital report with photos, plain words, and a punch list you can hand to a contractor. We welcome you on site, we guide timing such as before you waive an inspection contingency or before drywall goes up, and we warn about mistakes we see often such as skipping a sewer scope, ignoring attic ventilation, or relying only on the seller disclosure.
We offer full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection plus new construction phase checks and annual maintenance reviews. Each service helps you spot issues early, confirm permits because Christchurch requires permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and heating work, avoid common mistakes like skipping a sewer scope or waiting too late in a short contingency, and avoid relying on a city inspector who checks only permitted work and not the whole property.
We handle pre-purchase inspection before your cooling off ends, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new build stage checks at slab, frame, pre-sheet, waterproofing, and practical completion, along with builder warranty and rental safety checks. These checks find leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage faults, movement, termite risk, and code issues early, which helps you avoid delays, fines, and costly repairs.
