About Us

Hidden defects and permit snags sink deals and blow up budgets in Christchurch. We handle building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that find the real story early and keep your move, sale, or project on track.

Our inspectors at Christchurch Home Inspections know Christchurch housing stock, common foundation and roof issues, and what local buyers, sellers, and lenders expect. We check structure, roof, exterior, interior, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, crawl spaces, attic, site drainage, and permit history where available, and we follow established standards and local codes with the right tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters.

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’s safe access with power on, and have your permit number ready for the city.
