Nigel from ZYNC Inspections is knowledgeable, professional and thorough in his work. My wife and I drove for one and a half hours to meet him at a regional property and he arrived ahead of time. I can highly recommend Nigel, his reports are extensive and communicative. He shared extensive local knowledge of trades who could help us in the future. Excellent service. - 17/06/2021 

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. We highly recommend Nigel for building and pest inspections. - 28/02/2022 

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

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 is extremely professional and a great communicator. We received our inspection report very quickly and were able to make a successful offer with full confidence in the quality of the property. Nigel also provided additional details for trusted contractors and tradesman that we will be able to use for some of the minor repairs we may wish to make after moving in. We would not hesitate to recommend Nigel for any buildings and pest inspection requirements. - 17/03/2019

Some said they wished they had of used Nigel for their inspections.I was very happy with the service Nigel provided and will recommend it to my friends in the future. - 17/03/2017 

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 

I highly recommend Zync Inspections. Nigel provided us with a very professional and detailed "Pre-Purchase Structural, Building and Termite Timber Pest Inspection" report. Nigel's friendly advice and information has been invaluable. - 23/06/2021 

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 

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 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 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 

From the first phone call being answered promptly, to the end report coming through Nigel was excellent.Very detailed and all our question were answered.Great peace of mind when buying what is usually life's greatest asset!Thanks again - 17/08/2020 

Nigel was very friendly and easy to work with. He provided a very thorough report with photos and advise. Thank you for the inspection and i would highly recommend him and use his services again! - 17/03/2019 

Nigel inspected our new home as part of the buying process. He was punctual and his report was thorough and very detailed which gave us confidence to complete the purchase. The price of the service was fair and we would definitely recommend him to anyone purchasing a home for a pre-approval inspection. - 17/10/2020 

Nigel undertook a building and pest inspection report for me in relation to a house purchase. Nigel did a great job! 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! I can definitely recommend Nigel at ZYNC! - 01/12/2019

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 

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 

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. He also made himself available on multiple occasions to talk through the building and pest report and provided greater insight and understanding about the defects identified on the property. I would happily recommend him. - 18/08/2021 

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 

A reliable, prompt and friendly service from Nigel. He was very approachable, very detailed and helpful in explaining his findings which was really valuable when buying our new home. Would highly recommend. - 01/06/2020 

Best $660 I’ve ever spent. Nigel was easy to deal with, prompt to respond, and provided a very detailed report in a very timely fashion. I couldn’t be happier with the service and the report produced. Worth every penny and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone looking to buy in the Macedon Ranges area. - 08/11/2019 

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 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. The inspection was thorough and clear and after the settlement of the property, we were happy to know that there was nothing that we were not aware of and had factored into our purchase price. Thanks for the great work and confidence in your thorough reporting. - 17/03/2018 

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 

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 was recommended to us for a property that we were interested in purchasing and we required a quick turnaround on the report. Nothing was too much trouble and he slotted us in in no time at all. His report was well written , informative and gave us a great insight into the potential issues that we may be facing. he took the time to discuss the report and was happy to share his experience with us.Highly recommended - 17/03/2020
