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 completed before you finish the sale, sometimes called a building inspection or pre-sale house inspection. It covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and other key areas to spot issues that may be hidden, which is why house inspections are a smart step before making an offer. For peace of mind before you buy, contact Christchurch House Inspections in Shirley at 0800 846 525.

Why do homebuyers need a pre-purchase inspection?

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 an advantage in price negotiations, even if a pre-sale house inspection already exists. Call Christchurch House Inspections in Shirley at 0800 846 525 to book your inspection today.

When should I arrange a pre-purchase house inspection?

Book it right after your offer is accepted but before the contract is binding. That timing lets you read the report, ask questions, and decide what to do next. Many buyers set up house inspections or building inspections–whether it’s a pre-purchase or a pre-sale house inspection–during this window. To book your inspection, call Christchurch House Inspections in Shirley at 0800 846 525.

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?

The report lays out clear findings for all areas of the home we can access, including the structural parts, roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. We usually add photos and notes to make the results easy to understand. For a full, detailed report for your house inspections, building inspections, or 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 a pre-purchase house inspection turns up issues, you can often use the report to ask the seller for repairs, credits, or a lower price. Don’t miss out–call Christchurch House Inspections in Shirley at 0800 846 525 to book your building inspection or pre-sale house inspection.

What problems are most often uncovered in pre-purchase inspections?

In house inspections and building inspections before you buy, we often find worn or damaged roofing, plumbing leaks, unsafe or outdated electrical work, structural movement or cracks, site drainage issues, and termites or other pests. Catching these early in a pre-sale house inspection can save you money and stress. Schedule your inspection with Christchurch House Inspections in Shirley 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, because it’s done to protect their investment and confirm the home’s condition. It’s a small cost for major peace of mind and is standard for house inspections and building inspections before you buy. Sellers may arrange a pre-sale house inspection, but that’s separate. Contact Christchurch House Inspections in Shirley at 0800 846 525 to get started.

What should I look for in a trustworthy pre-purchase house inspector?

Choose a licensed, experienced inspector with solid reviews, a clear inspection process, and sample reports you can review; ask about what’s included, timing, and insurance. Christchurch House Inspections offers reliable pre-purchase house inspections and building inspections in Shirley–call us today at 0800 846 525 to book a trusted service or to arrange a pre-sale house inspection.

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

Yes. Even a well-kept property can hide problems that aren’t obvious without training or tools. Professional house inspections and building inspections help you make a fully informed choice. Contact Christchurch House Inspections in Shirley at 0800 846 525 to book yours.

About Us

Hidden water leaks, unsafe wiring, and unpermitted work can wreck a sale or drain your savings fast. We handle thorough building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection in Christchurch so you know the real condition, the likely risks, and the next steps before you sign or list.

Our inspectors are licensed and thorough, and we know local code, consent processes, and common Christchurch construction quirks that trip people up. We check structure, roof and cladding, interiors, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, insulation, moisture levels, site drainage, and outbuildings, and we explain what’s urgent and what can wait.

You get fast scheduling, fair pricing, and a same day digital report with photos, repair priorities, and risk levels. We pick up the phone, meet you or your contractor on site, and help you pass rechecks without delays or repeat fees.

We offer buyer pre-purchase inspection to uncover defects before you commit, seller pre-sale inspection to fix issues early and avoid last minute price cuts, new build and one year warranty checks to catch defects while the builder still has to make it right, and maintenance inspections for owners to plan repairs and prevent small problems from turning into big costs. Skipping an inspection or relying on a quick look from a friend risks surprise structural repairs, insurance pushback, delayed closings, and safety hazards 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.
