About Us
Hidden defects and permit gaps can stall a sale or renovation fast. At Christchurch House Inspections, we carry out building inspections in Christchurch including pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection, and we flag safety risks, code issues, and costly defects before they cost you time and money.
Our inspectors are licensed and insured in Christchurch, and we go into crawl spaces, attics, and roof areas to check structure, moisture, plumbing, and electrical for safety and code concerns. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters, review local permit history when available, and deliver a clear report the same day in most cases.
You get quick scheduling, straight pricing, and a report that calls out safety hazards, major defects, and minor notes in plain words you can act on. Many people wait until the last week, skip sewer and moisture checks, or forget to review past permits, and that choice often leads to failed closings, stop work orders, surprise repair credits, or higher insurance costs.
We inspect roof, foundation, structure, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, insulation and ventilation, attic and crawlspace, drainage, and accessible site conditions, and we can add termite, sewer scope, and mold screening on request. For best results in Christchurch, book early in your option or attorney review window, make sure utilities are on, attend the inspection, and avoid common mistakes like skipping the roof or crawlspace, ignoring permit history, or not getting a reinspection after repairs.
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.
