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

Many buyers rush a pre-purchase house inspection and miss issues that cost thousands later. Book it early and do one quick check yourself, like running every tap for one minute and looking under each sink for drips.

  • Make the offer subject to inspection
  • Attend and ask hard questions
  • Request photos of every defect
  • Confirm moisture and safety testing

Timing matters. Done right, a pre-purchase house inspection is a visual check of the roof, roof space, exterior cladding, foundations and subfloor, interior rooms, plumbing and electrical fixtures, plus moisture testing and clear photos, with a written report usually delivered within one day; follow these steps and you’ll spot leaks, unsafe wiring, rotten framing, or unapproved work early, so you can negotiate repairs, budget right, or walk away before you overpay, and you avoid common mistakes that lead to surprise costs, finance delays, or trouble with insurance.

If you are in Hornby, our team at Christchurch Home Inspectors carries out house inspections and building inspections every day. Contact us to book a pre-purchase house inspection or request a quote.

Can a pre-purchase inspection give you an advantage in negotiating the purchase price?
