Tips for Finding the Right Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services in Hillsborough

People often rush a pre-purchase house inspection after the offer and choose on price only, so major issues get missed; set the inspection as a condition, choose a licensed inspector who does building inspections with photos, and do a quick check now by running all taps for two minutes, looking under each sink for drips, and checking whether the water metre moves when taps are off. Costs add up.

  • Make the offer subject to inspection
  • Attend & ask hard questions
  • Request photos of every defect
  • Confirm moisture and safety testing

Fewer surprises. You will catch costly defects early, bargain with confidence, skip houses with unconsented work, and avoid repair bills that drain cash and delays with insurance or finance.

Frequently Asked Questions 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 Hillsborough at 0800 846 525.

Why do homebuyers need a pre-purchase inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection, often treated as a house inspection or building inspection, gives you a clear view of the home’s condition so you can avoid costly surprises after closing.

Call Christchurch Building Inspections in Hillsborough at 0800 846 525 to book your inspection today.

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?
