Testimonials

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 

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

Nigel came highly recommended when we purchased our new home. From the outset he was a pleasure to deal with at a reasonable price. He dealt directly with the Vendors Real Estate agent and provided a prompt and professional report. His post inspections comments were also very helpful. - 25/03/2021

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

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 

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
