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.
We are licensed and insured inspectors with many years on sites, not just behind a desk. We follow the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors Standards of Practice, use thermal imaging and moisture meters, access the roof and crawl space when safe, and we never skip common trouble spots like ground fault circuit interrupter outlets, drainage, and past water damage.
You get honest findings, on time starts, and real guidance on what’s urgent and what can wait, and we welcome you to be on site so you can see the issues in real time. Common mistakes in Christchurch are booking at the last minute, skipping the roof or crawlspace, ignoring drainage and moisture testing, not checking permits, and not booking a reinspection after repairs, which can lead to surprise costs, code fines, insurance problems, or a buyer walking away.
Pre-purchase inspection protects you before you commit by flagging structural movement, moisture intrusion, aging roofs, unsafe wiring, pests, and unapproved work so you can budget, renegotiate, or walk away. Pre-sale inspection lets you fix issues before listing to cut renegotiation risk and speed up your contract, and our general building inspections for owners catch small problems early and help you stay compliant and safe in Christchurch.
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.
