How We Handle Pre-Sale Building Inspection Projects in Shirley

Price cuts and stalled closings happen when sellers list without a pre-sale house inspection because buyer findings hit late, trigger panic fixes, and drain leverage. We run thorough house inspections in Shirley one to three weeks before photos and showings, give you a same day photo report, and a simple plan to repair or disclose so you protect your price and timeline.

This is the three step method we use from roof to foundation to get you market ready.

  • Full Interior And Exterior Scan
  • Safety And Compliance Checks
  • Same Day Report And Repair Plan

Licensed inspectors check structure, roof, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, moisture intrusion, and safety, then we deliver a same day digital report with photos, ballpark costs, and ranked fixes that support pricing and disclosure. Book it four to eight weeks before you list so you can plan repairs, because waiting until you’re under contract or trying quick cosmetic cover ups often leads to credits, reinspection delays, longer days on market, or a cancelled sale.

Set up your pre-sale house inspection in Shirley with Christchurch Building Inspections and get your listing prepped the right way. Call or message our team to lock a time and get your questions answered.
