Tips for Finding the Top Upper Riccarton Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services

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.

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

Do these and you avoid hidden moisture, unsafe wiring, and unconsented building work that can stall insurance or lending and cost thousands later. A solid house inspection takes about two hours and covers roof, exterior, interior, subfloor, attic, plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, with photos that help you price repairs, renegotiate, or walk away with confidence, and we can add building inspections or specialist checks when the signs call for it.

If you are buying in Upper Riccarton, our team can carry out thorough house inspections fast with plain language reports. You can contact Christchurch Building Inspections to book a pre-purchase house inspection or request a quote.
