For Local Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services in Christchurch

Professional Christchurch Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

Buying a home without the right checks can hide costly defects and safety risks that only show up after settlement. Our pre-purchase house inspection finds structural, moisture, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and drainage issues before you commit or during your cooling off period, so you can negotiate, walk away, or buy with confidence.

  • Thorough Structural Assessment
  • Roof And Exterior Check
  • Electrical And Plumbing Review
  • Moisture And Leak Detection

People call us because we are licensed and insured inspectors in Christchurch who have completed many house inspections and we use moisture metres, thermal imaging, and safe access to the roof and subfloor to do the job right. Skipping a thorough building inspection or booking after the contract deadline can lose your negotiating power and leave you with unsafe defects and large repair bills.

Here is how we carry out a pre-purchase house inspection from first call to final report.
