Professional Ferrymead Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

Hidden leaks, unsafe wiring, and dodgy extensions don’t show up at open homes, and skipping a pre-purchase house inspection or relying on a seller report can lead to repair bills, valuation delays, and lost bargaining power. We carry out thorough building inspections before you go unconditional or during your cooling off period, with a detailed visual check of structure, roof, subfloor, plumbing, and electrical, moisture testing where needed, and a clear report that lets you buy with eyes open.

  • Structural And Exterior Assessment
  • Moisture And Leak Detection
  • Roof Subfloor And Foundation Review
  • Electrical And Plumbing Safety Checks

We are local to Ferrymead, licensed and insured, and we inspect to accredited building inspection standards using moisture metres, thermal scanning, and safe access to subfloor and roof space where possible. Many buyers rely on a quick once over or book the inspection after finance approval, which weakens your negotiation power and can leave you paying for pre existing faults after settlement.

FAQs About Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

What is involved in a pre-purchase house inspection?

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition before you complete the purchase, and it’s one of the key house inspections buyers rely on. It covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and more as part of thorough building inspections–similar to a pre-sale house inspection–so you can spot hidden issues early. For peace of mind before you buy, contact Christchurch House Inspections in Ferrymead at 0800 846 525.

Why does a pre-purchase inspection matter for homebuyers?

Pre-purchase house inspections, sometimes called building inspections or a pre-sale house inspection, show you the home’s real condition and help you avoid costly surprises after closing. They also give you leverage when you negotiate the price. Call Christchurch House Inspections in Ferrymead 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 Ferrymead at 0800 846 525.

How detailed is the pre-purchase house inspection report?

The report gives clear, in-depth findings for every area we can reach in the home, as you’d expect from thorough house inspections or building inspections, including the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. We add photos and notes to make the results easy to understand, and this is the same level of detail you’d see in a pre-sale house inspection. To get a comprehensive report, contact Christchurch House Inspections at 0800 846 525.

What problems are most often uncovered in a pre-purchase inspection?

Book your inspection with Christchurch House Inspections in Ferrymead at 0800 846 525.

About Us

Buying or selling without a proper check can lead to hidden leaks, unsafe wiring, or unpermitted work that stalls your loan and drains your budget. We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection in Christchurch that find issues early, outline likely fixes, and help you make clean decisions with less risk.

Our inspectors are licensed and insured with years of local experience in Christchurch, and we check every major system from foundation to roof against current local codes. We use thermal imaging, moisture meters, crawlspace cameras, and drones where safe to document problems you cannot see.

Many people book late, skip the crawl space, accept a checklist with no photos, or ignore needed reinspections after repairs, and that can lead to missed hazards, failed closings, fines, or insurance trouble in Christchurch. We keep you on track with fixed pricing, prompt scheduling, a report that lays out major, minor, and maintenance items with photos and clear next steps, and a call with your inspector to go over it.

Our pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection follow a practical method that covers structure, roof, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical safety, drainage, and moisture so you can avoid blown budgets, failed negotiations, or settlement delays. During building inspections we start outside and on the roof where safe, then the interior, roof space, and subfloor where accessible, we test fixtures and fittings, run moisture scans, note safety risks and maintenance, and we finish with a report that ranks defects by urgency and repair priority.
