Testimonials

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 

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

Thank you for a very thorough inspection and friendly and helpful service! The inspection report provided by ZYNC Inspections was incredibly detailed and included photographs of every item discussed. The report also included helpful advice regarding areas where repair work is needed in the building. As a first-time home buyer, Nigel's report was incredibly helpful to me in my decision-making process around purchasing the property. It has helped me to identify and prioritize necessary repair jobs to the property.
I highly recommend ZYNC inspections! - 30/04/2020 

Fantastic are first home buyers and we brought in Bendigo. Nigel was very easy to speak to and was very accommodating and was able to explain the whole Building and Pest Inspection process. The report was great and Nigel went above ans beyond with the report including all photos and details. Will definitely be using Zync House Inspections in the future and be referring their service :)Thank you for the wonderful service! - 17/03/2020 

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 

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's efficiency at organising a time with our agent and getting the building and pest report back to us promptly was impressive.

I could not recommend Zync Inspections highly enough. Nigel conducted a building and pest inspection of a primary home and outbuildings relating to a home purchase. Nigel provided all the information required upfront, conducted a thorough inspection of the property, provided a comprehensive written report by the afternoon of the inspection and followed up to ensure I understood the report and answer any questions. The information provided was thorough and of great value - fantastic service. - 17/03/2019 

We recently engaged ZYNC House Inspections to carry out a combined building and pest inspection on a property within Gisborne, prior to making an offer to purchase.

What was particularly refreshing was the transparency with which Nigel explained what we could expect from the inspection. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nigel to anyone requiring a building inspection. - 17/03/2020

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. 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.

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 

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 

I had a great experience with Zync Inspections. Nigel was professional and the turn around was quick. He also made himself available on multiple occasions to talk through the building and pest report and provided greater insight and understanding about the defects identified on the property. I would happily recommend him. - 18/08/2021 

Nigel was able to very promptly carry out a building and pest inspection for us. The report was extremely thorough and was accompanied with detailed photos illustrating the particular concerns about the property. We can highly recommend using ZYNC. - 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 was fantastic with both of our inspections. Prompt and gave us all the information that was required prior to running the test as well as afterward. I really appreciated that he tool the time to call me and talk through the inspection both times as well as sending the detailed reports to us that included photos and descriptions of all facets of the properties. Can't recommend Zync Inspections enough and would use them again in a heartbeat! - 17/03/2019 

Nigel was recommended to us for a property that we were interested in purchasing and we required a quick turnaround on the report. Nothing was too much trouble and he slotted us in in no time at all. His report was well written , informative and gave us a great insight into the potential issues that we may be facing. he took the time to discuss the report and was happy to share his experience with us.
