We would have no hesitations in recommending Nigel of Zync Inspections to any prospective purchaser in need of a building or pest inspection. Nigel was extremely thorough, providing a very detailed report with explanations, suggestions and photographs. He also went through the main issues he uncovered in the house by phone prior to sending through the detailed report. It was so easy to deal with Zync and Nigel put our minds at rest in regards to the property as we could see from the report that he inspected everything in his path. I'd encourage all buyers to use this service before purchasing - it's money well spent. - 17/03/2020

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 

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 

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. Nigel provided an excellent service, providing a professional and detailed report, following up with a phone call to explain in detail to non-builders the consequences of any items found. 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 

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 

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.

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 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 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.

A reliable, prompt and friendly service from Nigel. He was very approachable, very detailed and helpful in explaining his findings which was really valuable when buying our new home. Would highly recommend. - 01/06/2020 

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

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 was fantastic to deal with. Very responsive, and after the report was sent through he called to go over it and answer any questions that had arisen. Very thorough and reports went above and beyond what I believe to be the standard for a home inspection. - 13/01/2026 

Nigel was extremely thorough in the inspection and reporting on my newly purchased property in Hepburn. I was very happy with the service provided. Nigel was prompt and polite. Highly recommend, and I will rely on him for trade recommendations. Thank you, Nigel - 25/06/2024 

We were really happy with the service provided by Zync. We've used Nigel twice now and we've recommended him to friends. He is responsive, timely and does a very thorough job. He's very knowledgeable and provides follow up after inspection. We were very impressed by the reports and will definitely use him again. - 05/01/2020 

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 

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 extremely professional and thorough in his inspection of my newly purchased property in Daylesford. His report was detailed and specific and contained several small repair / maintenance items I hadn't noticed and thus will prove of great assistance to guide me once I move in. - 17/12/2020 

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
