About Us
Hidden issues can wreck a sale or blow up a budget in Christchurch. At Christchurch House Inspectors, we carry out building inspections, pre-purchase inspection, and pre-sale inspection that find problems early and help you avoid costly repairs, safety hazards, failed finance, and city stop work orders.
Our team has years of hands-on building and inspection experience in Christchurch and we are licensed, insured, and trained to follow local code on residential and light commercial work. Many reports miss roof leaks, damp in walls, poor drainage, unsafe wiring, or unpermitted work, so we check the roof by walking it when safe, scan for moisture, test outlets, open panels when allowed, and crawl the tight spaces others skip.
Scheduling is fast, we show up on time, we call you from site when something big comes up, and we deliver a clear plan for fixes so you can move forward without stress. Pricing is simple, we coordinate with your agent or builder, and we never scare you into repairs you don’t need because trust keeps us working here in Christchurch.
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.
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.
