Rushing costs you. Many buyers rush a pre-purchase house inspection or rely on a seller report and end up missing leaks, termite damage, or unconsented work, so make your offer subject to a full building inspections report from a licensed inspector who spends two to three hours checking roof space, subfloor, exterior cladding, drainage, plumbing, and electrical, and as a quick check run all taps for three minutes to see if any drains back up.

  • Schedule during your due diligence
  • Attend the full inspection walkthrough
  • Order termite, moisture, and sewer checks
  • Review the report the same day

You avoid guesswork. You move through house inspections and building inspections faster, catch hidden moisture, failing drainage, or non-compliant electrical work before you buy, and keep thousands in your pocket by negotiating repairs or a price change.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

What does a pre-purchase house inspection involve?

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition done before you complete the purchase. It covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and other key areas to spot hidden problems. It’s similar to other house inspections and building inspections; sellers might order a pre-sale house inspection, while buyers do this one. For clarity before you buy, contact Christchurch House Inspections in Hornby at 0800 846 525.

Why do homebuyers need a pre-purchase inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection gives you an exact picture of the home’s condition, helping you avoid expensive surprises after closing. It also gives you more leverage in price negotiations or repair requests. Call Christchurch House Inspections in Hornby at 0800 846 525 to schedule your house inspection or building inspection today.

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

Book the inspection right after your offer is accepted, but before the contract becomes legally binding. This gives you time to review the report, ask follow-up questions, and make an informed call. To book your house inspection or building inspection, call Christchurch House Inspections in Hornby at 0800 846 525.

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?

The report covers all accessible parts of the home–as in our house inspections and building inspections–including the structural components, roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. Photos and written notes are included to make the findings clear. To get a comprehensive pre-purchase or pre-sale house inspection report, contact Christchurch House Inspections at 0800 846 525.

Can a pre-purchase inspection give you an advantage in negotiating the purchase price?

Yes, when a pre-purchase house inspection or building inspection finds problems, you can often use the findings to ask for repairs or a lower price from the seller. Don’t miss this chance–call Christchurch House Inspections in Hornby at 0800 846 525 to schedule your inspection.

What problems are typically uncovered in a pre-purchase inspection?

During house inspections and building inspections, inspectors commonly find roof wear or damage, plumbing leaks, faulty or outdated electrical work, structural cracks, site drainage issues, and termite or other pest activity. Finding these early can cut repair bills and stress before you commit, whether it’s a pre-sale house inspection or a buyer’s check. Book your inspection with Christchurch House Inspections in Hornby at 0800 846 525.

Who covers the cost of a pre-purchase house inspection?

The buyer usually pays for pre-purchase house inspections and building inspections, since they are done to protect their investment before they commit to the purchase. It’s a modest cost for real peace of mind. Contact Christchurch House Inspections in Hornby at 0800 846 525 to get started.

How can I pick a trustworthy pre-purchase house inspector?

Pick a licensed inspector with real experience, strong reviews, and a clear, step-by-step approach to house inspections and building inspections. Christchurch House Inspections offers trusted pre-purchase house inspections and pre-sale house inspection services in Hornby–call us at 0800 846 525 to book a reliable service.

Do I really need a pre-purchase inspection if the home appears well maintained?

Yes. Even a home that looks well kept can hide problems that the untrained eye won’t catch. A professional inspection–like the house inspections and building inspections buyers rely on–helps you make a fully informed decision. Sellers often order a pre-sale house inspection for the same reason. Call Christchurch House Inspections in Hornby at 0800 846 525 to schedule yours.
