About Us

Buying or selling in Christchurch without the right checks can lead to pricey surprises. At Christchurch House Inspections, we carry out building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that take two to four hours on site and come with a same day report so you can act fast.

Our licensed team brings years of local experience and careful methods, and we find what quick reports miss in Christchurch. We check structure, roof, foundation, drainage, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and we use moisture meters and thermal imaging with same day photo reports that are easy to read.

Reports arrive within 24 hours with photos, plain language, and a repair priority list. We show up on time, use pro grade tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging, and we’re happy to walk the property with you and answer questions.

We offer full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks for foundation, framing, rough-in, insulation, and final, commercial property assessments, and eleven month warranty inspections for new homes. These find safety hazards, moisture and drainage problems, electrical defects, unpermitted work, and structural movement, and we do it by walking the roof when safe, entering the attic or crawl space, testing major systems, running moisture and thermal checks, and reviewing permits, because skipping a sewer scope or attic access, not checking permits, or skipping a reinspection after repairs can trigger failed closings, stop work orders, fines, insurance trouble, and repairs that cost far more later.

Book building inspections in Christchurch today. Call or message us to schedule your job or get a clear quote, and we will lock in a time that fits your timeline.
