About Us
Permits go sideways, hidden defects pop up, and a missed inspection can stall your project or sink a sale. Christchurch House Inspections handles building inspections in Christchurch for new builds and renovations, plus pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection, so you avoid stop work orders, tear out, and last minute drama.
Our licensed inspectors live and work in Christchurch and know the local codes, lenders, and the building department, and we use moisture meters, thermal imaging, gas leak detection, and safe roof access to see what others miss. Most homes take two to four hours, we welcome you on site, we give clear reports with many photos the same day, and we walk you through the findings by phone or in person.
You get a clear same day report with photos, plain language, and practical repair guidance you can use to negotiate or plan work. We show up on time, carry the right insurance, answer your questions after the visit, and stand by our findings.
Services include pre-purchase inspection for buyers before you buy, pre-sale inspection for sellers before you list, full building inspections for homeowners and investors, phase inspections for new construction, warranty checks at month eleven, and commercial tenant improvement reviews, each aimed at finding safety risks, structural issues, moisture intrusion, and code items early. During city permitted work we time framing, rough mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, insulation, and final inspections, and we help you prepare by keeping access clear, keeping power and water on for testing, and keeping the permit posted so the city can sign off without delays.
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.
