FAQs About Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

What does a pre-purchase house inspection involve?

A pre-purchase house inspection is a detailed check of a property’s condition done before you commit to buying. The inspection looks at structural elements, the roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and other key parts to find hidden issues–similar to what’s reviewed in many house inspections and building inspections, and some sellers even book a pre-sale house inspection. For peace of mind before you buy, reach out to Christchurch Home Inspections in Southshore at 0800 846 525.
