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

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 

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.

I could not recommend him more highly. - 17/03/2020

Nigel worked with the Real Estate agent to inspect the property at short notice. The report was thorough and detailed. The report was supported by an excellent verbal conversation in which Nigel put the report in perspective of the properties age and gave an idea of the build quality. - 17/03/2020 

As a first home buyer, I was grateful for the inspection report I received. I was lucky that Nigel was able to fit my inspection in at short notice and he offered feed back and a prompt same day report, presented clearly and cohesively and was happy to talk through any questions I may have had. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a building inspection. - 17/03/2018 

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 

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 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.

Thanks for the great work and confidence in your thorough reporting. - 17/03/2018

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

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”.

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.

Nigel provided a comprehensive building + pest report with very little notice. The quality of the report, complete with photos and explanations, was good quality, which meant we could make an informed decision about our prospective property purchase. - 17/03/2018 

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

I'm glad I found Nigel for my pre-purchase property inspection. Nigel was very upfront. In particular, I wanted to select someone with the right qualifications and Nigel did not have any problems with sharing his registered building practitioner and pest control qualifications with me. His report was thorough and overall I had a very positive experience. I highly recommend Nigel for anyone looking to get their building and pest inspection conducted by a qualified individual. - 17/03/2020
