About Us
Buying or selling without a proper check can backfire fast in Christchurch, from safety risks to failed closings to repair bills you didn’t see coming. Christchurch House Inspectors handles building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection with careful on site checks and clear reports, and we help you time it right by booking pre-purchase during your due diligence window and pre-sale four to six weeks before you list.
Our licensed inspectors live and work in Christchurch and know the local codes, soil, and construction styles. We check roof to foundation, test outlets and fixtures, run thermal imaging and moisture readings when needed, and deliver a clear photo report within twenty four hours, then we walk you through the findings.
You get straight pricing, on time arrival, weekend or next day slots, and real support during repair talks or closing so you can act with confidence. Most problems we see come from skipping a pre-purchase inspection, relying only on seller disclosures, choosing the cheapest inspector, not attending the walk through, or not booking a reinspection after repairs, which leads to surprises and delays that can trigger lender pushback, insurance problems, or a stop work order.
We cover pre-purchase inspection before you remove contingencies, pre-sale inspection before you list, new build and warranty checks, maintenance inspections, and repair reinspections. Skipping the attic or crawl space, booking late, or relying on a quick look can lead to missed defects, lender or appraisal trouble, price cuts, or a deal falling through, so our process checks structure, roof, moisture, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, drainage, site grading, and visible permit history when available with a photo rich report delivered promptly.
We handle pre-purchase inspection before your cooling off ends, pre-sale inspection before you list, and new build stage checks at slab, frame, pre-sheet, waterproofing, and practical completion, along with builder warranty and rental safety checks. These checks find leaks, unsafe wiring, drainage faults, movement, termite risk, and code issues early, which helps you avoid delays, fines, and costly repairs.
