How to Find the Top Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services in Christchurch

A common snag is booking the pre-purchase house inspection too late or accepting a seller referral, which can hide defects and wreck your chance to renegotiate. Hire an independent, licensed inspector before the cooling off period begins, and a quick check is to flip every light switch and run every tap for thirty seconds during the viewing to spot power or pressure issues.

  • Hire a licensed, insured inspector
  • Make the contract inspection contingent
