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

People often book a pre-purchase house inspection too late and then they cannot use the findings to adjust the price or terms. Book it before you go unconditional and expect a two to three hour walk through of roof, exterior, subfloor or crawl space, attic, plumbing, electrical, and moisture readings with photos, and do one quick check yourself by running all taps and a shower then flushing a toilet to see if pressure drops or drains gurgle.

  • Book before you sign or close
  • Insist on roof and subfloor access
  • Confirm moisture metre and thermal scan
  • Attend & ask direct questions

Follow these and you cut hidden damage risk, avoid contract delays and insurance denials, and gain stronger price bargaining power with clear house inspections. Costs add up.

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition done before you complete the purchase.
