  • Roof Space and Subfloor Access

Tips for Finding the Top Pre-Sale Building Inspection Services in Upper Riccarton

A common snag with a pre-sale house inspection is waiting until the week you list, then rushing repairs, blocking access to the attic or crawl space, and losing money to price cuts and closing delays. Book your inspection four to six weeks before listing and do a quick check first, such as turning on every faucet and feeling under each sink for drips, and know that a proper inspection reviews roof, structure, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, moisture, and safety.

  • Schedule four to six weeks early
  • Clear attic, crawlspace, electrical panel
  • Gather permits and repair receipts
  • Fix small safety defects first

You will cut last minute negotiations, avoid rushed repairs, and keep more of your asking price. No surprises.
