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 before you complete the purchase. This type of building inspection reviews the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and other key areas to spot hidden problems. For peace of mind before you buy, contact Christchurch Building Inspections in Upper Riccarton at 0800 846 525.

Why do pre-purchase house inspections matter for homebuyers?

A pre-purchase inspection–similar to a pre-sale house inspection–shows the home’s real condition, so you can find issues early and avoid expensive surprises after closing. These house inspections, often called building inspections, can also give you more pull in price talks or help you ask for repairs or credits. Call Christchurch Building Inspections in Upper Riccarton at 0800 846 525 to schedule your inspection today.

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

Pre-purchase building inspections are best booked right after your offer is accepted, and before the contract becomes binding. This gives you time to review the findings and make an informed decision. To schedule your inspection, call Christchurch Building Inspections in Upper Riccarton at 0800 846 525.

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?

The report gives thorough findings for all accessible parts of the home, covering structural components, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, just like our house inspections and building inspections. Photos and straightforward notes are included to make the results clear. For a complete pre-purchase or pre-sale house inspection report, contact Christchurch Building Inspections at 0800 846 525.

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

Yes. If a pre-purchase house inspection or building inspection finds problems, you can often use the report to negotiate repairs or a lower price with the seller. Don’t miss the chance–call Christchurch Building Inspections in Upper Riccarton at 0800 846 525 to schedule your inspection.

What problems are most often found in a pre-purchase house inspection?

In house inspections and building inspections before you buy, we often find worn or damaged roofing, plumbing leaks, unsafe or outdated electrical work, structural movement or cracks, site drainage issues, and termites or other pests. Catching these early in a pre-sale house inspection can save you money and stress. Schedule your inspection with Christchurch Building Inspections in Upper Riccarton at 0800 846 525.

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

The buyer usually pays for a pre-purchase house inspection or building inspection–separate from any pre-sale house inspection a seller might order–because it helps protect their investment. It’s a small price for real peace of mind. Contact Christchurch Building Inspections in Upper Riccarton at 0800 846 525 to get started.

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

Choose a seasoned, licensed inspector with solid reviews and a clear, step-by-step inspection process for house inspections and building inspections. Christchurch Building Inspections offers dependable pre-purchase and pre-sale house inspections in Upper Riccarton–call us today at 0800 846 525 to schedule a thorough inspection.

Is a pre-purchase house inspection needed if the home appears well kept?

Yes. Even a place that looks well cared for can hide issues not obvious without training–moisture problems, unsafe wiring, or structural movement. A professional doing house inspections or building inspections makes sure you have the right facts before you decide, and the same applies if you want a pre-sale house inspection to prepare.
