Shirley's Leading Building Inspections Professionals

Hidden defects, moisture ingress, unsafe wiring, and noncompliant additions can turn a purchase or sale in Shirley into a money drain, so the right inspection matters before you sign, before you list, and after major repairs. We handle this with pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, and detailed building inspections carried out by licensed inspectors who use moisture metres and thermal scanning, cover structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and drainage, invite you to attend, and explain the report so you avoid the usual mistakes of skipping checks, choosing on price only, or missing deadlines that can delay settlement.

  • Same Day Photo Report
  • Roof And Subfloor Access
  • Moisture And Thermal Scanning
  • Insured Local Inspectors

Common mistakes are relying on seller disclosure, skipping the roof or crawl space, and choosing a checklist-only inspector, which leads to unsafe wiring, hidden damp, stalled settlements, and costly repairs. Our licensed team at Christchurch Building Inspections is based in Shirley and has thousands of inspections behind us, we follow relevant standards, carry full insurance, and give clear repair priorities so you can act fast.

If you need house inspections Shirley, we’re ready to help with a pre-purchase inspection or a pre-sale inspection that gives you clarity before you sign. Contact Christchurch Building Inspections to ask questions, schedule your inspection, or request a detailed quote today.

How We Handle Building Inspections Projects in Shirley

House inspections Shirley matter because missed roof leaks, unsafe wiring, pest damage, and unapproved renovations can cost thousands, trigger insurance refusals, and slow or stop settlement. We carry out building inspections for pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection with licensed inspectors who check roof to foundation, use thermal imaging and a moisture metre for hidden leaks, test safety devices, and deliver a clear same day report with photos and repair priorities, which helps you avoid common mistakes like skipping the roof void and subfloor, not reading the report, or hiring someone without insurance.

Here is how we run a typical inspection.

  • Pre Inspection Call And Scope
  • On Site Building Inspections
  • Same Day Photo Report

Our inspectors follow the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors or the American Society of Home Inspectors standards, use thermal imaging and moisture metres when helpful, and deliver a clean report the same day with photos and plain language. Use us before you buy, before you list, after a renovation, and near the end of a builder warranty so you do not miss repair windows or lose negotiating power.

Frequently Asked Questions About Building Inspections

What does a standard house inspection include?

A standard house inspection looks at all key systems and parts of the home, including the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and the overall structural condition. Inspectors also check doors, windows, insulation, and other visible items, whether part of general building inspections or a pre-sale house inspection. For a detailed breakdown of what’s covered in house inspections, contact Christchurch Building Inspections in Shirley at 0800 846 525.

Why get a house inspection before buying?

Having a house inspection done before you buy can reveal problems you can not see during a showing, the kind that can turn into costly fixes later. It also gives you confidence in the purchase and can help when you negotiate the price. For thorough house inspections and building inspections that protect your investment, call Christchurch Building Inspections today at 0800 846 525.

Can I be present during the house inspection?

Yes, buyers are welcome to attend the inspection, including a pre-sale house inspection. It lets you see the home’s condition firsthand and ask the inspector questions.

What if the inspector discovers issues?
