Shirley's Highly Recommended Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Team

Hidden structural movement, moisture intrusion, unsafe wiring, termites, and roof issues rarely show during a showing, and skipping or delaying an inspection can cause costly repairs, safety risks, weak bargaining, or lender concerns, with common mistakes like booking after contingencies expire or skipping pest or sewer scope making it worse. We schedule your pre-purchase house inspection before you sign or during due diligence and send a licenced inspector to check roof exterior and roof space, subfloor where accessible, interior and exterior walls, plumbing fixtures, visible electrical, ventilation, and drainage with moisture readings, thermal checks where helpful, clear photos, and a same day plain English report.

Choose Christchurch Home Inspections for a precise, reliable process backed by real local experience. We show up on time, let you attend, and stand by our report with follow-up, because a weak inspection can mean finance delays, insurance headaches, and repair bills you didn’t plan for.

Tips for Finding the Right Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services in Shirley

People often rush a pre-purchase house inspection and miss small signs that lead to large repairs. Book it before your cooling off period ends and attend in person, and remember it is a visual, non-invasive review from roof to foundation that checks structure, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, and safety, and as a quick check run the shower for two minutes and watch for a slow drain or temperature swings.

  • Attend the inspection and ask questions
  • Ask for roof and attic access
  • Order a drain line camera scope
  • Verify permits, system age, warranties

Use these and you catch water ingress, unsafe wiring, and unconsented work before you commit, which lets you renegotiate or walk away without losing time or money. Our building inspections and house inspections check the roof, roof space, exterior cladding, foundation and subfloor, drainage, plumbing and basic electrical, insulation, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, plus moisture testing with a metre, then we send a photo report within twenty four hours to cut surprise repair bills and keep settlement on track.
