Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

What does a pre-purchase house inspection involve?

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed review of a property’s condition done before you complete the purchase, often grouped with other house inspections and building inspections. This type of building inspection covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and other key parts to find any hidden issues. For peace of mind before you buy or to book a pre-sale house inspection, contact Christchurch House Inspections in Riccarton at 0800 846 525.

Why does a pre-purchase inspection matter for homebuyers?

A pre-purchase inspection–one of the most useful house inspections or building inspections you can do–gives you a clear view of the home’s condition and helps you avoid costly surprises after you buy. It also gives you bargaining power for price negotiations, even if a pre-sale house inspection already exists. Call Christchurch House Inspections in Riccarton at 0800 846 525 to book your 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 binding. That timing gives you enough space to review the findings from the house inspection or building inspection and decide your next step. To set up your inspection, call Christchurch House Inspections in Riccarton at 0800 846 525.

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?

The report lays out clear findings for every area of the home we can reach, such as the structural parts, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. For clarity, it usually has photos and straightforward notes. For a full, detailed house inspections report–similar to what we provide for building inspections and a pre-sale house inspection–contact Christchurch House Inspections at 0800 846 525.

Can a pre-purchase inspection help you negotiate the sale price?

Yes. If the inspection finds issues, you can often use the inspection report to ask for repairs or push for a lower price with the seller–this is common with professional house inspections and building inspections, whether it’s a pre-purchase or pre-sale house inspection. Call Christchurch House Inspections in Riccarton at 0800 846 525 to schedule your inspection.

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

Typical problems found include roof damage or wear, plumbing leaks, electrical faults, structural cracks, drainage issues, and pest activity. Finding these early during house inspections or a pre-sale house inspection can save you money and stress. Book your building inspection with Christchurch House Inspections in Riccarton at 0800 846 525.

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

In most cases, the buyer pays for the pre-purchase house inspection or building inspection, since it helps protect their investment before they commit. It’s a small spend for real peace of mind when it comes to house inspections. Contact Christchurch House Inspections in Riccarton at 0800 846 525 to get started.

How do I pick a reliable pre-purchase house inspector?

Choose a seasoned, licensed inspector with solid reviews and a clear, step-by-step inspection process for house inspections and building inspections. Christchurch House Inspections offers dependable pre-purchase and pre-sale house inspections in Riccarton–call us today at 0800 846 525 to schedule a thorough inspection.

Do I still need a pre-purchase inspection if the house appears well maintained?

Yes. Even homes that look well cared for can hide issues you will not spot without training–leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage problems, termites. A professional house inspection or building inspection helps you make a clear, informed choice before you buy. Sellers might do a pre-sale house inspection, but as a buyer you still need your own pre-purchase inspection. Call Christchurch House Inspections in Riccarton at 0800 846 525 to book yours.

About Us

Hidden leaks, unsafe wiring, or a tired foundation can blow up a deal or slow a remodel. We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection with clear photo reports that find problems early so you can act not guess.

We are local inspectors with deep experience across homes, condominiums, and light commercial in Christchurch, and we back that with licensing, insurance, and professional tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters, and we don’t sell repairs so our reporting stays independent. We know the patterns here such as aging roofs, drainage troubles, and amateur electrical work, and we warn you about common mistakes like covering work before the city visit, leaving utilities off, or blocking attic and crawlspace access.

You get a same day digital report with clear photos, moisture readings, and repair priorities you can use to negotiate or plan work. We are independent, fully insured, on time, and easy to reach before and after the inspection, which means fewer surprises and faster decisions.

Our building inspections cover structure, exterior cladding, roofing, gutters, drainage, interior finishes, moisture and leak testing with calibrated meters, electrical and plumbing observations, and signs of pests or unsafe work, which helps you prevent costly repairs and spot unapproved changes. Pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection and new build stage checks help you decide, plan repairs, negotiate with confidence, and avoid council notices or lender delays.
