About Us
Hidden defects, unpermitted work, or a missed safety issue can wreck a sale or stick you with repairs you did not budget for. Christchurch House Inspections handles detailed building inspections in Christchurch, including pre-purchase inspection before you go unconditional, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new construction stage checks so you know the real condition and your next steps.
Our team at Christchurch House Inspections brings years on the job, proper licenses, and strict training under the International Residential Code and International Building Code used in Christchurch. We check structure, roof, exterior, interior, attic and crawlspace when safe, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, and we use moisture meters and thermal scanning to find hidden issues.
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.
Pre-purchase inspection helps you negotiate repairs or price, protect financing and insurance, and avoid surprises at closing, and pre-sale inspection helps you fix issues before you list so you do not get hit with last minute credits, and our building inspections for remodels or new builds check workmanship, code items, and permit closeouts so you do not fail a final inspection. Common mistakes are skipping the crawl space, trusting a checklist alone, relying only on seller disclosure, or hiring someone who won’t go on the roof, and that can lead to unsafe conditions, denied claims, lender delays, fines for unpermitted work, and big repair bills after closing.
