Frequently asked questions
- Do you offer pre-purchase building inspections in Christchurch CBD?
- Yes. We provide comprehensive pre-purchase building inspections throughout Christchurch CBD, documenting roof condition, moisture risk, interior defects, and structural observations in a detailed Spectora report.

- Yes. Where safe and appropriate, drone roof inspection is included to capture roof areas that are difficult to assess from ground level — particularly useful for Christchurch CBD homes with complex roof lines or limited access.
- Do you check moisture-prone areas?
- Moisture testing is standard. We use moisture metres and thermal imaging to identify damp in bathrooms, kitchens, subfloors, and cladding systems — a critical step for Canterbury properties.

- Reports are delivered digitally through Spectora, typically within 24 hours of the inspection. A same-day verbal overview can be arranged on request.
