Fantastic are first home buyers and we brought in Bendigo. Nigel was very easy to speak to and was very accommodating and was able to explain the whole Building and Pest Inspection process.

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 

We recently used Nigel for a pre-purchase building & pest inspection. Nigel was able to support us with prompt completion of not only the inspection, but also provided a same day report which outlined a thorough review of the property, along with supporting photos. Nigel followed this up with a call to chat through in further detail, making us feel comfortable and informed.Communication was on point from the first query, through to the final call.Highly recommend. - 08/07/2026 

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 

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

Nigel carried out a very thorough pre purchase building inspection on a home we purchased in Trentham.The report Nigel sent was very clear and the information supplied was backed up with photos where necessary.Nigel was very happy to answer any queries we had.!Nigel is very knowledgeable and professional.Very happy to recommend - 05/03/2026 

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 recommended to me by a leading Real Estate agent in Ballarat. I found Nigel to be very professional on the phone & also in the way he presented me the reports. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him & would definitely use him again myself. - 17/03/2018 

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 

Great detailed reports with imagery referencesWe 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. We highly recommend Nigel for building and pest inspections. - 24/02/2022 

I was impressed how quickly ZYNC were able to accommodate my request for a building and pest inspection. The report provided was detailed and informative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommended the services provided by ZYNC! - 23/06/2021 

Excellent Service required a pest and building report and was recommended Nigel from the real estate agent . The report was completed very promptly , further to this the amount of detail and useful information in the report was great. He was able to point out many things that we had overlooked with our inspections of the property. My recommendation would be to get the report done before you sign any documents as often the contract states structural only as a way to void the contract , costs can quickly add up to repair even non structural. Don't buy a property without pest and building inspection - 17/03/2018 

I had a great experience with Zync Inspections. Nigel was professional and the turn around was quick.

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
