About Us
Hidden issues can wreck a sale or blow up a budget in Christchurch. At Christchurch House Inspections, we carry out building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that find problems early and help you avoid costly repairs, safety hazards, failed finance, and city stop work orders.
Our qualified inspectors know local building methods in Christchurch and we are fully insured. We check structure, roof, exterior cladding, slabs and foundations, moisture entry, drainage, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, insulation, interior, and site hazards, which helps you avoid unsafe wiring, active leaks, structural movement, rot, termite damage, and unpermitted work that can lead to costly repairs or trouble with the city.
You get a same day digital report with photos, plain language notes, and clear repair priorities, plus a phone walk through to answer questions. We help you dodge common mistakes like booking after the cooling off period, trusting seller disclosure without verification, or hiring someone who’s uninsured and rushed.
We cover full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks at footing, slab, framing, rough mechanical, insulation, and final, warranty punch lists, and permit closeout reviews. Each visit looks at structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and air, moisture, safety, and basic code items, which helps you plan repairs, avoid covering work before a rough inspection, make sure there’s safe access with power on, and have your permit number ready for the city.
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.
