About Us

Unexpected defects can wreck a budget, stall a sale, and spark insurance or lender delays. At Christchurch House Inspections, we handle building inspections in Christchurch including pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection so you catch problems early and move forward with clear numbers, and we schedule them before you close, before you list, or before your builder warranty ends.

Our inspectors are licensed and thorough, and we know local code, consent processes, and common Christchurch construction quirks that trip people up. We check structure, roof and cladding, interiors, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, insulation, moisture levels, site drainage, and outbuildings, and we explain what is urgent and what can wait.

You get clear photos, plain language findings, repair priorities, and practical guidance on what to fix now and what to watch. We show up on time, we welcome you on site, and we answer your questions after the report because a call can save you from guessing and bad decisions.

We cover full home and commercial building inspections, buyer focused pre-purchase inspection during your option period, seller focused pre-sale inspection before you list, new construction phase checks at pre-pour, frame, pre-drywall, and final, plus eleven month warranty and multi unit inspections. Skipping basics like roof access, utility on checks, GFCI and AFCI testing, drainage grading review, and moisture scanning leads to surprise repairs, reinspection fees, failed appraisals, stop work orders, or insurance claim trouble, so we make sure power, water, gas, and clear access to the attic, crawl space, electrical panel, and water heater are ready before we arrive.
