Tips for Finding the Best Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services in Riccarton

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.

• Hire a licensed, insured inspector
• Attend the inspection and ask questions
• Request moisture and thermal imaging scans
• Insist on roof, subfloor, drainage checks

You avoid surprise repairs like roof replacement, drainage fixes, or rewiring and you gain bargaining power to negotiate price or repairs before you go unconditional. You save money.
