What to Expect from Our Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Process in Lansdowne

Top Benefits of Working with a Trusted Lansdowne's Best Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Service

Hidden leaks, unsafe wiring, unconsented work, and tired roofs don’t show during a quick open home, and buyers often rush the process or rely on the seller report, then face large repair bills, loan or insurance trouble, and safety risks after settlement. Our pre-purchase house inspection delivers a correct, photo-rich report before your cooling off or finance deadline, with clear findings you can act on.

What you get from our house inspections and building inspections.

  • Major Defects Spotted Early
  • Realistic Repair Cost Guidance
  • Same Day Photo Rich Report
  • Negotiation Power With Facts
  • Combined Building And Pest

We go into the roof space and subfloor where safe, check exterior drainage and grading, test moisture at wet areas, probe timber where signs show, and document defects with photos and severity ratings. Many buyers rely on a seller report, skip the roof space, or ignore exclusions such as services not tested under pressure, so we explain the limits in plain language and give you clear next steps.

Book your pre-purchase house inspection in Lansdowne before you commit so you buy with facts, not guesses. Contact Christchurch Building Inspections to schedule or request a quote today.

How to Find the Best Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services in Lansdowne

Many buyers go unconditional or book late, then find leaks, movement, or unsafe wiring after they move in. Make your offer subject to a pre-purchase house inspection and book within three days so we can check the roof, roof space, exterior cladding, windows, subfloor, plumbing, electrical, drainage, site grading, and moisture levels, and as a quick check today run the shower and kitchen tap together for two minutes and watch for slow drains or damp patches around cabinets.

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

Timing matters. Done right, a pre-purchase house inspection is a visual check of the roof, roof space, exterior cladding, foundations and subfloor, interior rooms, plumbing and electrical fixtures, plus moisture testing and clear photos, with a written report usually delivered within one day; follow these steps and you will spot leaks, unsafe wiring, rotten framing, or unapproved work early, so you can negotiate repairs, budget right, or walk away before you overpay, and you avoid common mistakes that lead to surprise costs, finance delays, or trouble with insurance.

FAQs About Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

What does a pre-purchase house inspection involve?

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition done before you commit to buying. The inspection looks at structural elements, the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and other key parts to find hidden issues–similar to what’s reviewed in many house inspections and building inspections, and some sellers even book a pre-sale house inspection. For peace of mind before you buy, reach out to Christchurch Building Inspections in Lansdowne at 0800 846 525.

Why does a pre-purchase house inspection matter for homebuyers?

Pre-purchase house inspections, sometimes called building inspections or a pre-sale house inspection, show you the home’s real condition and help you avoid costly surprises after closing. They also give you extra negotiating power when you negotiate the price. Call Christchurch Building Inspections in Lansdowne at 0800 846 525 to schedule your inspection today.

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

Book the inspection right after your offer is accepted, but before the contract becomes legally binding. That way you have time to review the findings and make a clear decision. This timing lines up with how most house inspections and building inspections are handled. If you’re a seller planning a pre-sale house inspection, do it before you list so you can sort out issues early. To set up your inspection, call Christchurch Building Inspections in Lansdowne 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 thorough report, contact Christchurch Building Inspections at 0800 846 525.

Can a pre-purchase inspection be used to negotiate the sale price?

Yes–if the inspection report uncovers defects or safety issues, you can often use those findings to push for repairs, a credit, or a lower price with the seller. This is a big reason buyers book house inspections and building inspections before going firm; solid reports support the price, and problem lists give you bargaining power. Sellers sometimes order a pre-sale house inspection for the same reason–fewer surprises. Don’t miss this chance–call Christchurch Building Inspections in Lansdowne at 0800 846 525 to schedule your inspection.

What problems are most often uncovered in pre-purchase inspections?

Typical issues found in house inspections and building inspections are roof damage or wear, plumbing leaks, faulty wiring, structural movement or cracks, drainage failures, and pest infestations. Catching these early in a pre-sale house inspection can save you money and stress. Book your inspection with Christchurch Building Inspections in Lansdowne at 0800 846 525.

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

In most cases, the buyer pays for the pre-purchase building inspection, because it’s done to protect their investment. It’s a small cost that brings real peace of mind. Call Christchurch Building Inspections in Lansdowne at 0800 846 525 to get started.

How can I pick a trustworthy pre-purchase house inspector?

Choose a licenced, experienced inspector with strong reviews and a transparent inspection process you can understand. Christchurch Building Inspections offers reliable pre-purchase house inspections and pre-sale house inspection services in Lansdowne–call 0800 846 525 today to book a solid building inspection.

Do you still need a pre-purchase inspection if the home appears well maintained?

Yes. Even a well-kept property can hide issues you won’t spot without training–leaks behind walls, unsafe wiring, past termite activity, poor drainage, roof wear, or structural movement. A qualified inspector’s report from house inspections or building inspections helps you make a fully informed choice and budget for any fixes before you commit. If you want added certainty, some buyers also request a pre-sale house inspection from the seller for comparison. Contact Christchurch Building Inspections in Lansdowne at 0800 846 525 to book your inspection.

About Us

Hidden defects in a home or building in Christchurch can drain your budget and slow a sale. We carry out thorough building inspections, including pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection, so you buy, sell, or renovate with clear facts and fewer surprises.

Our inspectors are licensed locals who know Christchurch homes, soil, weather, and local building rules. We check roof to foundation with moisture testing and thermal imaging where needed, then send a same day photo report with plain next steps.

You get fast scheduling, on-time arrival, and a same day or next day report that calls out risk, urgency, and practical fixes. We stay available for questions, we talk through the report by phone, and we help you avoid the usual traps that lead to blown budgets, delays, or last-minute walkaways.

We offer full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection plus new construction phase checks and annual maintenance reviews. Each service helps you spot issues early, confirm permits because Christchurch requires permits for structural, electrical, plumbing, and heating work, avoid common mistakes like skipping a sewer scope or waiting too late in a short contingency, and avoid relying on a city inspector who checks only permitted work and not the whole property.
