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 inspectors at Christchurch House Inspections know Christchurch housing stock, common foundation and roof issues, and what local buyers, sellers, and lenders expect. We check structure, roof, exterior, interior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, crawl spaces, attic, site drainage, and permit history where available, and we follow recognized standards and local codes with the right tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters.
You get a same day digital report with photos, plain words, and a punch list you can hand to a contractor. We welcome you on site, we guide timing such as before you waive an inspection contingency or before drywall goes up, and we warn about mistakes we see often such as skipping a sewer scope, ignoring attic ventilation, or relying only on the seller disclosure.
Pre-purchase inspection helps you negotiate repairs or price, protect financing and insurance, and avoid surprises at closing, and pre-sale inspection helps you fix issues before you list so you don’t get hit with last minute credits, and our building inspections for remodels or new builds check workmanship, code items, and permit closeouts so you don’t fail a final inspection. Common mistakes are skipping the crawl space, trusting a checklist alone, relying only on seller disclosure, or hiring someone who won’t go on the roof, and that can lead to unsafe conditions, denied claims, lender delays, fines for unpermitted work, and big repair bills after closing.
