Testimonials

Excellent Service required a pest and building report and was recommended Nigel from the real estate agent . The report was completed very promptly , further to this the amount of detail and useful information in the report was great. He was able to point out many things that we had overlooked with our inspections of the property. My recommendation would be to get the report done before you sign any documents as often the contract states structural only as a way to void the contract , costs can quickly add up to repair even non structural. Don't buy a property without pest and building inspection - 17/03/2018 

Nigel was extremely polite, responsive and provided a comprehensive report on our new property. He was great in answering the questions we had about the report and provided pragmatic advice. I would definitely recommend Nigel and use ZYNC again. - 17/03/2020 

Nigel Ben was efficient and provided great customer service. We purchased a large property that always makes you nervous as to what may be hidden beyond your view. The inspection was thorough and clear and after the settlement of the property, we were happy to know that there was nothing that we were not aware of and had factored into our purchase price. Thanks for the great work and confidence in your thorough reporting. - 17/03/2018 

Nigel completed a property and pest inspection for a house we were looking at purchasing. He was prompt, and his report was extremely comprehensive. More importantly, he was happy to talk through his findings and also work with the vendor to rectify the key issues identified during the inspection. Thorough and good value. - 17/10/2020 

Nigel was very responsive to our needs, quick to arrange an inspection time with the vendor's agent and also to arrange and coordinate an electrical inspection at the same time. His report came quickly but he also gave me a verbal run-down immediately post the inspection. We are very pleased with his service. - 17/03/2020 

Zync/Nigel performed two inspections for me pre purchase and gave meticulous reports for each. One of them greatly assisted in highlighting some expensive issues prior to purchase, the other provided me with purchase confidence and gave me a brilliant maintenance report to safeguard the property for the future.Nigel's operations are tech forward, punctual and personalised with added personal phone calls and advice. I highly recommend Zync for Hepburn/Macedon Ranges and beyond building and pest inspections. - 17/03/2020 

Excellent service. Upon putting a deposit on my house Nigel responded to do a building/pest inspection within two days. This was relevant to me going ahead with the purchase. He explained clearly what he would be doing and I had the detailed results emailed to me the next day. He also called me and gave a verbal response on his findings and answered my questions clearly and gave me advice on what type of professional I should contact for one problem he found and also informed me on a couple of things he couldn’t do because of lack of access. Nigel was friendly and very professional and I had absolute trust on his opinion. Well worth the money for peace of mind and helpful advice to avert something that would have been invisible to me but could have caused quite a problem down the track. I highly recommend Nigel for his invaluable service when buying property. - 30/04/2020

Great detailed reports with imagery referencesWe 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”.

Both reports were in great details with imagery references.Recommendations were covered for all parts of building, fencing and retaining walls in garden areas. Nigel contacted me while I was reading the reports to discuss and answer any questions we had.The reports gave us great confidence and comfort in purchasing the property. We highly recommend Nigel for building and pest inspections. - 24/02/2022 

Nigel conducted a prepurchase building inspection for us. His report verbally and written was very thorough. Nigel was approachable, professional and honest through the whole process. He also provided us with a list of tradesman he trusts to support us with our renovation. - 24/10/2021 

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

We recently used Nigel for a pre-purchase building & pest inspection. Nigel was able to support us with prompt completion of not only the inspection, but also provided a same day report which outlined a thorough review of the property, along with supporting photos. Nigel followed this up with a call to chat through in further detail, making us feel comfortable and informed.Communication was on point from the first query, through to the final call.Highly recommend. - 08/07/2026 

Nigel was fantastic. He was able to fit in an inspection for us at very short notice two days before the auction and arranged everything with the agent. He sent an extremely comprehensive building and pest report with photos and language that was easy for us to understand. He was also happy to chat through things over the phone and answered a number of questions so that we were comfortable bidding on—and buying—the house. We know there are some minor maintenance issues to address when we are ready but also that the house we bought is solid and in good overall condition. I would absolutely recommend Nigel for any pre-purchase inspections. - 17/03/2017
