Frequently Asked Questions 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 complete the purchase.

Why do homebuyers need a pre-purchase inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection–one of the most useful house inspections or building inspections you can do–gives you a clear view of the home’s condition and helps you avoid costly surprises after you buy.

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

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

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?

The report lays out clear findings for every accessible part of the home, covering structural components, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems–the same scope you’d expect from house inspections, building inspections, or a pre-sale house inspection. Photos and short notes are typically added to make things easy to see and understand. To get a complete report, contact Christchurch Building Inspections at 0800 846 525.

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

About Us

Water leaks, unsafe wiring, foundation movement, and unpermitted work can ruin a sale or leave you with big repair bills. We carry out detailed building inspections in Christchurch, including pre purchase inspection and pre sale inspection, to catch problems early and prevent failed closings or safety risks.

Our inspectors at Christchurch Building Inspections know Christchurch housing stock, common foundation and roof issues, and what local buyers, sellers, and lenders expect. We check structure, roof, exterior, interior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, crawl spaces, attic, site drainage, and permit history where available, and we follow established standards and local codes with the right tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters.

You get honest findings, on time starts, and real guidance on what’s urgent and what can wait, and we welcome you to be on site so you can see the issues in real time. Common mistakes in Christchurch are booking at the last minute, skipping the roof or crawlspace, ignoring drainage and moisture testing, not checking permits, and not booking a reinspection after repairs, which can lead to surprise costs, code fines, insurance problems, or a buyer walking away.

Services cover building inspections for buyers, sellers, owners, and investors. Book a pre-purchase inspection before you sign the contract to catch costly defects, and use a pre-sale inspection before listing to fix red flags and avoid last minute renegotiation, and we also handle annual checkups, renovation readiness checks, storm damage reviews, and eleven month new home warranty inspections so small issues don’t turn into rot, mold, safety hazards, or code trouble.
