How to Find the Right Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services in Christchurch

A common snag is booking the pre-purchase house inspection too late or accepting a seller referral, which can hide defects and wreck your chance to renegotiate. Hire an independent, licensed inspector before the cooling off period begins, and a quick check is to flip every light switch and run every tap for thirty seconds during the viewing to spot power or pressure issues.

  • Make your offer subject to inspection
  • Hire a licensed building inspector
  • Attend the inspection & ask questions
  • Include moisture & drainage checks

Use these tips and you will catch costly defects early, avoid inheriting unsafe wiring or drainage failures, and negotiate repairs or price with clear proof. Inspections save money.
