Testimonials

Nigel was wonderful at providing a very detailed and thorough report for our pest and building inspection on a property we were thinking of purchasing. He not only followed up with a lengthy written report, but also many phone calls, advising us on details with his informed opinion. I would highly recommend! - 17/05/2021 

Nigel was very responsive from my initial enquiry right through to provision of the building and pest report. Throughout our dealings he was friendly, professional, and very understanding when the inspection needed to be delayed a few days, even though that would have obviously put him out. The report was detailed and thorough. Very happy with the service we received from Zync inspections and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a building and pest inspection. - 30/08/2020

What was particularly refreshing was the transparency with which Nigel explained what we could expect from the inspection.

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.

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 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 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

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!
