Frequently Asked Questions About Building Inspections

What does a standard house inspection include?

A standard house inspection reviews all major systems and parts of the home, such as the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and overall structure. Inspectors will also check doors, windows, insulation, and other visible items, which is the same scope you will see in many building inspections and a pre-sale house inspection. For a clear rundown of what’s included, contact Christchurch Building Inspections in Southshore at 0800 846 525.

Why book a house inspection before buying?

A pre-sale house inspection can reveal hidden problems that might turn into costly fixes later. It gives you peace of mind and can also help you negotiate the price. For expert house inspections and building inspections that protect your investment, call Christchurch Building Inspections today at 0800 846 525.

Can I be present for the house inspection?

Yes, buyers are encouraged to come to house inspections–whether it’s a standard building inspection or a pre-sale house inspection. It gives you a chance to see the home’s condition firsthand and ask the inspector questions on the spot. Schedule your inspection with Christchurch Building Inspections in Southshore for clear, practical insights–call 0800 846 525 to book now.

How long will a house inspection take?

The time for house inspections depends on the home’s size and condition; most building inspections take about two to four hours. To book a detailed house inspection or a pre-sale house inspection with Christchurch Building Inspections, contact us in Southshore at 0800 846 525.

What if the inspector discovers issues?

If the inspector identifies any issues during the house inspection, you’ll get a clear report that lists each problem and how serious it is. You can use that report to negotiate repairs or change your offer. Don’t risk buying blind–call Christchurch Building Inspections in Southshore at 0800 846 525 for a thorough building inspection or pre-sale house inspection.

Is a house inspection necessary for a newly built home?

Yes. Brand-new houses can still have missed items, code problems, or workmanship defects that a quick walk-through will not catch. A professional house inspection (a building inspection for new builds) helps confirm the work is right and safe, and that your investment meets the standard you paid for. Even if it’s not a pre-sale house inspection, getting it done now can save hassles later. Call Christchurch Building Inspections in Southshore at 0800 846 525 to book your new home inspection today.
