Trusted Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Burnside

Buying without a pre-purchase house inspection is how people inherit leaks, unsafe wiring, foundation movement, and pest damage that viewings hide, and relying on a bank valuation or a handy friend is a common and costly mistake. We carry out the inspection before you sign the contract or during your offer period, with a full visual check inside and out plus moisture readings and a clear report so you can negotiate or walk away.

  • We Check Structure And Roof.
  • We Test Moisture And Leaks.
  • We Inspect Plumbing And Electrical.
  • We Provide Same Day Reports.

We are based in Burnside and we follow industry standards with a methodical visual check of all accessible areas, detailed photos, moisture readings, and clear recommendations. Many buyers book too late or rely on seller disclosures or a handy friend, and that can lead to costly repairs after settlement or a missed chance to renegotiate.

Tips for Finding the Top Burnside Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services

People often rush a pre-purchase house inspection or rely on a seller report, then miss costly defects.

  • Choose a qualified and insured inspector
  • Confirm scope covers roof to subfloor
  • Attend the inspection and ask questions
  • Review the full written report

You will avoid five figure repair bills such as re-roofing, re-stumping and rewiring, and you’ll keep finance and insurance on track because surprises get flagged before you commit. Our house inspections cover the exterior, roof, roof void, subfloor, plumbing, electrical safety, drainage, moisture readings, termite risk and any signs of unapproved work with clear photos and a same day report.

FAQs About Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

What does a pre-purchase house inspection involve?

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed review of a property’s condition completed before you finish the sale, sometimes called a building inspection or pre-sale house inspection. It covers the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and other key areas to spot issues that may be hidden, which is why house inspections are a smart step before making an offer. For peace of mind before you buy, contact Christchurch Building Inspections in Burnside at 0800 846 525.

Why does a pre-purchase inspection matter for homebuyers?

A pre-purchase inspection gives you a clear picture of the home’s condition–like thorough house inspections or building inspections–and helps you avoid costly surprises after closing. It also gives you negotiating power in price negotiations, much like how a pre-sale house inspection helps set fair expectations. Call Christchurch Building Inspections in Burnside at 0800 846 525 to schedule your inspection today.

When is the right time to arrange a pre-purchase inspection?

Book your pre-purchase building inspection as soon as your offer is accepted, but before the contract becomes binding. That timing gives you enough time to review the house inspection findings and make an informed choice. To set up your inspection, call Christchurch Building Inspections in Burnside at 0800 846 525.

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?

The report gives clear, in-depth findings for every area we can reach in the home, as you’d expect from thorough house inspections or building inspections, including the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. We add photos and notes to make the results easy to understand, and this is the same level of detail you’d see in a pre-sale house inspection. To get a comprehensive report, contact Christchurch Building Inspections at 0800 846 525.

Can a pre-purchase inspection help you negotiate the sale price?

Yes. If a pre-purchase house inspection or building inspection finds problems, you can often use the report to negotiate repairs or a lower price with the seller. Don’t miss the chance–call Christchurch Building Inspections in Burnside at 0800 846 525 to schedule your inspection.

What problems are typically uncovered in a pre-purchase inspection?

Typical issues we find in house inspections and building inspections include roof damage or wear, plumbing leaks, electrical faults, structural cracks, drainage troubles, and pest infestations. Catching these early can cut costs and hassle. Book your pre-sale house inspection with Christchurch Building Inspections in Burnside at 0800 846 525.

Who covers the cost of a pre-purchase house inspection?

The buyer usually pays for the pre-purchase house inspection (often called a building inspection), since it protects their investment. It’s a modest cost for real peace of mind. Contact Christchurch Building Inspections in Burnside at 0800 846 525 to get started.
