Testimonials

I had Nigel conduct two home inspections for me whilst looking for my first home. He was always prompt and courteous. He was very thorough and compiled two of the best home inspection reports that i've ever seen. They were very detailed and outlined all the problem areas of both properties. I even had the real estate agent ask for his details after witnessing how much attention to detail his reports were. I have no problem recommending his services to anyone looking to have a building inspected. - 17/03/2017 

I chose ZYNC for my house inspection because of the reviews. And ill say, the service lived up to the reviews. Nigel’s report helped give me peace of mind in purchasing my first place. He called and explained the report to me , he was upfront and honest about what he inspected so I knew what maintenance needed to be done. Thankyou! - 17/03/2020 

I had Nigel complete a building inspection on my property. From the very beginning Nigel was prompt and professional. He was able to inspect the property within a couple of days from my initial phone call. He was very thorough and professional with the inspection. Nigel was also very courteous and went out of his way and took the time to answer questions I had regarding the property. I could not recommend Nigel any more. This kind of service is extremely rare these days. Don't bother wasting your time looking elsewhere. - 28/08/2021 

Nigel was highly recommended in the area and definitely delivered. He was very prompt and inspected the property throughly. When buying a house you always look at the design and layout, and to have someone go through and inspect every detail, get up on the roof and below the house is great! I would recommend Nigel for anyone who is purchasing a property, its so important to look past the beauty and really consider if any damages or defects are worth the purchase! Thanks ZYNC! - 17/12/2020 

This was our first building inspection and it went very smoothly and promptly. Nigel went to view the property the day after I called him and we had the report that evening. The report was thorough and easy to understand. I'd highly recommend ZYNC services. - 30/04/2020 

Nigel provided a comprehensive building + pest report with very little notice. The quality of the report, complete with photos and explanations, was good quality, which meant we could make an informed decision about our prospective property purchase. - 17/03/2018 

Worth every single cent and then some. On two separate occasions, Nigel has saved me many thousands of dollars in repairs of major building defects that were invisible on casual inspection. He went above and beyond to explain his inspection to me in detail. With my recent purchase, he supported me to advocate for works to be completed that the vendor's plumber was saying was fixed (when it wasn't) and on another his report enabled me to pull out of a contract when the defects found were too significant and costly and the vendor wouldn't negotiate on price. Very grateful on both occasions! Can't recommend highly enough. - 18/11/2025

From the beginning, Nigel was very easy to deal with. I made one phone call and few days later received a very throughout report, with pictures and all the information needed for us to make a decision on the house. Nigel made 2 follow up calls to check if we required further information about the report, and the good thing is that he wasn't pushy at all. Great service, recommended!!! - 20/11/2019 

Nigel inspected my property before I purchased it and I was so impressed with his insight into structure, soil and overall report.

Extremely helpful and professional company. We chose ZYNC House Inspections of Gisborne because of the excellent reviews and we were not disappointed.

My husband and I were looking to purchase our first home and were not quite sure on structural integrity of the property. After some research I came across ZYNC House Inspections and phoned Nigel who was extremely helpful, walked us through the whole process and arranged a building and pest inspection within 24 hours.Nigel provided us with an extremely comprehensive report with many photos and explanations on the faults and potential repercussions if these were not addressed. We were able to put this report forward to the vendor and use as a bargaining tool to bring the purchase price down.Nigel advised that his pricing might not be the cheapest however the detail in his report was far above any others we viewed. We would highly recommend ZYNC House Inspections to anyone purchasing a property. - 17/03/2016

Nigel undertook a building and pest inspection report for me in relation to a house purchase. Nigel did a great job! He was flexible (making himself available when it suited me and the sales agent), attentive (he sent relevant paperwork in advance and explained what was required) and punctual (he did what we agreed at the time agreed) and very helpful. Nigel not only reported on the property but then had a conversation with me to give me more detail and answered my follow up queries as well. It was great to be able to rely on Nigel’s expertise!

Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Responsiveness , Value Great detailed reports with imagery references We recently purchased a property in country Daylesford and required building and pest inspections for the purchase. Nigel was recommended by a local real estate agent commenting “I would use Nigel when I purchase my own properties”. When mentioned to the agent selling our property, she commented “Nigel is a great inspector.” Inspections were conducted on time as scheduled and reports were delivered on the same day. Both reports were in great details with imagery references. Recommendations were covered for all parts of building, fencing and retaining walls in garden areas.
