Why does a pre-purchase inspection matter for homebuyers?

They also give you extra negotiating power when you negotiate the price. Call Christchurch House Inspections in Christchurch at 0800 846 525 to schedule your inspection today.

When is the right time to arrange a pre-purchase inspection?

Book the building inspection as soon as your offer is accepted, but before the contract is binding. This timing gives you time to review the findings from house inspections and make informed decisions. To book your inspection, call Christchurch House Inspections in Christchurch at 0800 846 525.

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?

The report gives clear findings on all accessible parts of the home, including the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.
