Our licensed inspectors check the roof surface, roof space, subfloor, exterior cladding, interiors, plumbing fixtures, drainage, site grading, and visible electrical safety, with moisture metre readings, thermal imaging where helpful, drone roof checks when needed, and dozens of location tagged photos with plain language findings and repair cost ranges. Many buyers book after going unconditional, accept a verbal look over, or pick the cheapest quote with a vague scope, which leads to missed defects, insurance or lender issues, and big repair bills, while our process is independent, insured, fixed price, includes a phone consult, and lets you attend the inspection.

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 the purchase.

Why should homebuyers get a pre-purchase inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection gives you a correct view of the property’s condition, so you can spot problems early and avoid costly surprises after closing.

Call Christchurch Home Inspectors in Ferrymead at 0800 846 525 to book your inspection today.

When is the right time to arrange a pre-purchase house inspection?

How detailed is the pre-purchase inspection report?

The report gives clear findings on all accessible parts of the home, including the structure, roof, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems.

What problems are most often uncovered in pre-purchase inspections?
