Testimonials

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 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 

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 

Extremely helpful and professional company. We chose ZYNC House Inspections of Gisborne because of the excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. We received our Pest and Building report the morning after the job was completed and the reports were comprehensive, clear, made recommendations and included photos. When we told Nigel that we knew no-one in the area he provided us with a list of recommended tradespeople that we could contact in the future. . - 08/12/2019 

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 

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 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 

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

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 is extremely professional and a great communicator. We received our inspection report very quickly and were able to make a successful offer with full confidence in the quality of the property. Nigel also provided additional details for trusted contractors and tradesman that we will be able to use for some of the minor repairs we may wish to make after moving in. We would not hesitate to recommend Nigel for any buildings and pest inspection requirements. - 17/03/2019 

Nigel at Zync was fantastic. One call and an Email with my agents details and the rest was all managed by Nigel. We received the report the same day too! Competitive cost to sleep easy knowing the property is in good condition. - 17/03/2020 

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 

I wanted a custom inspection as my home was approaching the 7 year building guarantee end. Nigel said he could help - referral came from locals - and he booked in very quickly and provided the report immediately. Fantastic service and professionalism. Now I've just got to work through his recommendations....needing a handy person with multiple skills. 🙂 - 24/05/2020 

Nigel responded quickly with a booking and inspection, providing an enormous level of detail and exactly what we needed to make an informed property decision. He is an easy and thorough communicator, very thorough, very motivated and just reports and explains the facts so you can make good decisions. Total pro. - 18/08/2021 

From the beginning, Nigel was very easy to deal with. I made one phone call and few days later received a very throughout report, with pictures and all the information needed for us to make a decision on the house. Nigel made 2 follow up calls to check if we required further information about the report, and the good thing is that he wasn't pushy at all. Great service, recommended!!! - 20/11/2019 

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 

Nigel was easy to talk to and very prompt in returning calls. His expertise in the building profession was an added bonus. He tried hard to work in with our timing requirements and we were pleased with the detail in the report which he explained thoroughtly to us. - 17/03/2020 

Great service. Quick and straightforward with no issues. Highly professional. We had the report the afternoon of the inspection. Everything explained well and and in easy-to-understand language. Nigel was very helpful at all stages of the process. - 24/03/2022 

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
