How to Find the Best Upper Riccarton Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services

People often rush a pre-purchase house inspection and miss small signs that lead to large repairs. Book it before your cooling off period ends and attend in person, and remember it’s a visual, non-invasive review from roof to foundation that checks structure, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and safety, and as a quick check run the shower for two minutes and watch for a slow drain or temperature swings.

  • Schedule during your due diligence
  • Be present and take notes
  • Include roof, attic, crawlspace
  • Add moisture & termite checks

Follow these steps and you will spot safety risks and costly issues early, then you can negotiate repairs or credits, plan budgets, or walk away before you’re stuck. That can mean avoiding a ten thousand dollar sewer line, an uninsurable roof, or lending delays when the appraiser flags condition problems that proper house inspections why did found.

About Us

Hidden defects can wreck a deal in Christchurch and drain your budget after you move in. At Christchurch House Inspections we carry out building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that uncover issues early and give you clear next steps.

Our inspectors bring years of hands-on construction and code knowledge in Christchurch, and we work to a detailed method that covers structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, moisture, and drainage. A typical home takes two to three hours on site, we test major systems where safe, we use moisture meters and thermal scanning when needed, and you receive a same day report with photos and plain language.

You get fixed pricing, fast scheduling, and a phone walk through that explains what matters now and what can wait. Common mistakes are booking after the cooling off or contingency date, relying on a seller report, or skipping the roof space and subfloor areas.

We cover pre-purchase inspection before you remove contingencies, pre-sale inspection before you list, new build and warranty checks, maintenance inspections, and repair reinspections. Skipping the attic or crawl space, booking late, or relying on a quick look can lead to missed defects, lender or appraisal trouble, price cuts, or a deal falling through, so our process checks structure, roof, moisture, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, drainage, site grading, and visible permit history when available with a photo rich report delivered promptly.
