FAQs About Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

What does a pre-purchase house inspection involve?

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of the property’s condition done before you complete the purchase. It looks at the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and other major parts to spot hidden faults. This kind of building inspection (a house inspection) is close to a pre-sale house inspection, but focused on buyers. For peace of mind before you buy, contact Christchurch Building Inspections in Richmond at 0800 846 525.

Why does a pre-purchase inspection matter for homebuyers?

A pre-purchase inspection gives you a correct view of the property’s condition, so you can spot problems early and avoid costly surprises after closing. It also gives you an advantage in price talks or repair concessions–useful whether you’re looking at house inspections, building inspections, or even comparing a pre-sale house inspection. Call Christchurch Building Inspections in Richmond at 0800 846 525 to book your inspection today.

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

Book it right after your offer is accepted but before the contract is binding. That timing lets you read the report, ask questions, and decide what to do next. Many buyers set up house inspections or building inspections–whether it’s a pre-purchase or a pre-sale house inspection–during this window. To book your inspection, call Christchurch Building Inspections in Richmond at 0800 846 525.

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?

The report lays out clear findings for all areas of the home we can access, covering structural parts, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. Photos and short notes are added to make things clear. For a full, written report for your house inspections or building inspections–also useful for a pre-sale house inspection–contact Christchurch Building Inspections at 0800 846 525.

Can a pre-purchase inspection give you negotiating power over the sale price?

Yes–if a house inspection uncovers defects, you can use the report to ask for repairs or push for a lower price with the seller. To book a pre-sale house inspection with a trusted building inspections team, call Christchurch Building Inspections in Richmond at 0800 846 525.

What problems are typically uncovered in pre-purchase inspections?

Typical findings are roof wear or damage, leaking plumbing, faulty wiring, structural cracks or movement, drainage issues, and pest activity. Catching these early can cut costs and stress, whether you are booking house inspections, building inspections, or a pre-sale house inspection. Book your inspection with Christchurch Building Inspections in Richmond at 0800 846 525.

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

The buyer usually pays for the pre-purchase inspection because it helps protect their investment. It’s a small spend for solid peace of mind and is standard with house inspections and building inspections before you sign. Call Christchurch Building Inspections in Richmond at 0800 846 525 to get started.

How do I pick a reliable pre-purchase house inspector?

About Us

Hidden structural, moisture, or electrical problems can wreck a deal and stall permits in Christchurch. Christchurch Building Inspections handles building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection so you move forward with clear facts and fewer surprises.

Our qualified inspectors know local building methods in Christchurch and we are fully insured. We check structure, roof, exterior cladding, slabs and foundations, moisture entry, drainage, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, insulation, interior, and site hazards, which helps you avoid unsafe wiring, active leaks, structural movement, rot, termite damage, and unpermitted work that can lead to costly repairs or trouble with the city.

You get a clear, photo rich report the same day that ranks safety, major, and minor findings and gives plain next steps with repair timelines. We answer your questions before and after, schedule fast, carry general liability and errors and omissions insurance, and show up when we say we will, because skipping a proper inspection or hiring someone who cuts corners can lead to surprise structural costs, unsafe wiring, lender or insurance delays, failed appraisals, or correction notices from your local building department.

We offer full building inspections, targeted buyer checks, seller tune-ups, new build stage inspections, maintenance checks, and re-inspections to confirm repairs, because each step spots different risks and can save real money. Common mistakes are skipping the roof or attic, rushing due to a short escrow, relying on seller disclosures alone, or ignoring a small moisture note, and those misses can lead to surprise repairs, lost credits, failed city inspections, or insurance trouble.
