Testimonials

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 from ZYNC Inspections is knowledgeable, professional and thorough in his work. My wife and I drove for one and a half hours to meet him at a regional property and he arrived ahead of time.

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 very responsive from my initial enquiry right through to provision of the building and pest report. Throughout our dealings he was friendly, professional, and very understanding when the inspection needed to be delayed a few days, even though that would have obviously put him out. The report was detailed and thorough. Very happy with the service we received from Zync inspections and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a building and pest inspection. - 30/08/2020

I was advised to organise a building inspection and pest report on a house I was interested and have subsequently bought recently. Nigel was recommended and I could not have been more delighted. He made the whole process easy and uncomplicated, he was very reassuring and professional to deal with. And he was incredibly quick, both with the inspection and the subsequent report. I could not recommend him more highly. - 17/03/2020 

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

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 Benn was as friendly, thorough and professional as anyone I have ever met. His inspection was detailed and comprehensive. His on-site discussion just after the inspection communicated the issues with clarity and without stress. He has happily advised of the follow up actions, and offered contacts – who have also proven to be excellent. I will happily use Nigel again, and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Thank you, Nigel. - 11/03/2021 

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

He walked me through the report and was very easy to talk to which made the whole process so much easier. As we are new to the area he was also able to recommend local tradespeople which we really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone who is purchasing a new property and wants the peace of mind that comes with a thorough inspection. - 29/10/2019

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