What You Can Expect from Our Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Process in Richmond

Buyers often book too late, rely on a verbal look-over, or skip the roof space and subfloor, and that’s how leaks, termite activity, foundation movement, and unsafe wiring slip through and later drain your budget. We run your pre-purchase house inspection in Richmond with licensed house inspections and building inspections, coordinated access with the agent, booking before contract dates close, plain language reporting the same day, and repair cost guidance so you can negotiate or walk away with confidence.

Here is how we deliver a tight, reliable process.

  • Schedule And Scope Confirmation
  • Comprehensive Roof To Foundation Inspection
  • Same Day Report With Photos

Most buyers skip roof spaces, subfloors, and moisture testing and trust a quick look or a lender valuation, which can lead to safety risks, insurance problems, and large repair bills. We check structure, roofing, foundations, exterior drainage, plumbing, electrical items, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, and insulation with ladders, crawl access, moisture metres, and thermal imaging and we send a plain language photo report the same day.

Tips for Finding the Best Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Services in Richmond

Many buyers rush a pre-purchase house inspection and miss leaks, unsafe wiring, or unconsented work that later costs thousands. Book it during the cooling off window and secure roof space and subfloor access and do a quick check now by turning on all taps and flushing two toilets at once to spot pressure drops.

  • 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 tips to get more from house inspections and full building inspections and catch defects like water intrusion, unsafe wiring, failing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, roof leaks, and cracked sewer lines before you sign, so you can negotiate repairs or credits and avoid four figure surprises after closing. You save money.

About Us

Hidden defects in a home or building in Christchurch can drain your budget and slow a sale. We carry out thorough building inspections, including pre-purchase inspection and pre-sale inspection, so you buy, sell, or renovate with clear facts and fewer surprises.

We work in Christchurch every day and we know local code checkpoints, common foundation and drainage issues, and how older wiring and plumbing here usually fail. We walk roofs when it is safe, go into crawl spaces, test outlets and fixtures, run heating ventilation and air conditioning, scan for moisture and heat loss, and deliver a same day report with clear photos.

You get independent advice, fair pricing, and a report that is easy to read and backed by a phone call to walk through the findings. We arrive on time, we coordinate access with your agent or tenant, we carry full public liability and professional indemnity cover, and we stand by our work if questions pop up later.

We inspect roof, foundation, structure, exterior, interior, plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, insulation and ventilation, attic and crawlspace, drainage, and accessible site conditions, and we can add termite, sewer scope, and mold screening on request. For best results in Christchurch, book early in your option or attorney review window, make sure utilities are on, attend the inspection, and avoid common mistakes like skipping the roof or crawlspace, ignoring permit history, or not getting a reinspection after repairs.
