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. We highly recommend Nigel for building and pest inspections. - 28/02/2022

It has helped me to identify and prioritize necessary repair jobs to the property.I highly recommend ZYNC inspections! - 17/05/2020 

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 

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 can highly recommend Nigel, his reports are extensive and communicative. He shared extensive local knowledge of trades who could help us in the future. Excellent service. - 17/06/2021 

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! I can definitely recommend Nigel at ZYNC! - 01/12/2019 

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

Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Responsiveness , Value Excellent service. Very detailed and thorough as best as can be with the access available. All questions answered and plenty of advice given. Highly recommended. - 26/12/2021 

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

The price of the service was fair and we would definitely recommend him to anyone purchasing a home for a pre-approval inspection. - 17/10/2020 

Nigel was recommended to me by a leading Real Estate agent in Ballarat. I found Nigel to be very professional on the phone & also in the way he presented me the reports. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him & would definitely use him again myself. - 17/03/2018 

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
