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.

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

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

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 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 

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 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

Thank you for a very thorough inspection and friendly and helpful service! The inspection report provided by ZYNC Inspections was incredibly detailed and included photographs of every item discussed. The report also included helpful advice regarding areas where repair work is needed in the building. As a first-time home buyer, Nigel's report was incredibly helpful to me in my decision-making process around purchasing the property. It has helped me to identify and prioritize necessary repair jobs to the property.I highly recommend ZYNC inspections! - 17/05/2020 

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 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 

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 

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 

Amazing service! So friendly and helpful, I have used Nigel in many houses and he has saved me from buying houses with a lot of damage. If you are buying or selling or just want to check how your house is all over I highly recommend Nigel!!! - 13/10/2025 

Nigel from ZYNC inspections was very thorough, his report for our house inspection was easy enough to read and understand, with pictures showing the areas he was discussing. He followed his report with a courtesy phone call where he summarised the report. I found this very professional and above all very friendly and helpful. Thank you ZYNC. - 17/03/2019 

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 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 

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 

Nigel was great to deal with and I couldn't recommend him highly enough. Did an extremely thorough inspection and was helpful in explaining all the issues in detail and provided a full report that night. Also was happy to answer extra questions and provide guidance on a couple of renovation ideas as well. Would use again! - 27/01/2026
