Tips for Finding the Right Ilam Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services

The most common mess with a pre-purchase house inspection is rushing and trusting a seller report that skips the roof space or subfloor. Book your own licensed building inspection before you go unconditional, where the inspector checks the roof space, subfloor, exterior cladding, drainage, plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets, and heating and cooling, and on the viewing day do one quick check by running every tap for one minute and looking under each sink for drips.

  • Add an inspection contingency
  • Book within forty eight hours
  • Attend and ask direct questions
  • Review a sample report first

Use these and you cut surprise repair bills, gain real leverage to negotiate price or repairs, and avoid delays with lenders or insurers caused by undisclosed issues. Do not skip it.

About Us

Buying or selling in Christchurch without the right checks can lead to pricey surprises. At Christchurch Home Inspections, we carry out building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that take two to four hours on site and come with a same day report so you can act fast.

We are based in Christchurch and we inspect homes here every week, so we know the typical moisture traps, tired roofing, and unpermitted changes that show up. Our team brings proven skill, careful reporting, safe access to roofs and subfloors when conditions allow, and a tidy process backed by insurance and strict internal reviews.

We show up on time, speak clearly, and stick around after the inspection to answer questions. Common mistakes are skipping the attic and crawl space, not testing ground fault circuit interrupters and arc fault circuit interrupters, ignoring drainage, hiring on price only, and not reading the full report, and when that happens buyers face costly repairs, lender delays, insurance pushback, and code fines in Christchurch.

We cover full building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, pre-sale inspection, new construction phase checks at footing, slab, framing, rough mechanical, insulation, and final, warranty punch lists, and permit closeout reviews. Each visit looks at structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, heating and air, moisture, safety, and basic code items, which helps you plan repairs, avoid covering work before a rough inspection, make sure there is safe access with power on, and have your permit number ready for the city.
