Testimonials

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 

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

Nigel came highly recommended to us as we went through the process of purchasing our first home. He was extremely prompt and reliable and delivered a very thorough report the same day he conducted the inspection. He also followed up with a phone call to ensure all our questions were answered.We signed our contract of sale feeling more confident thanks to the level of care and expertise he delivered pre- during and post inspection.Thanks again Nigel. - 17/10/2020 

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 extremely polite, responsive and provided a comprehensive report on our new property. He was great in answering the questions we had about the report and provided pragmatic advice. I would definitely recommend Nigel and use ZYNC again. - 17/03/2020

I'm glad I found Nigel for my pre-purchase property inspection. Nigel was very upfront. In particular, I wanted to select someone with the right qualifications and Nigel did not have any problems with sharing his registered building practitioner and pest control qualifications with me. His report was thorough and overall I had a very positive experience. I highly recommend Nigel for anyone looking to get their building and pest inspection conducted by a qualified individual. - 17/03/2020 

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 

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 

Nigel Benn undertook a property inspection on a home my wife and I were considering purchasing not too long ago. It was an off-grid, mud brick home on a bush block in Regional Victoria. Nigel was prompt, organized and a pleasure to deal with. His report blew me away!! It was very extensive with heaps of images and written descriptions throughout the report. Nigel takes his work seriously and is a true professional within his industry.Thanks again Nigel and best of WishesGary Winter - 30/06/2021

We recently purchased a property and engaged Nigel to do a building and pest inspection. This was organized very quickly and thoroughly and Nigel could not have been more helpful. He walked me through the report and was very easy to talk to which made the whole process so much easier. As we are new to the area he was also able to recommend local tradespeople which we really appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone who is purchasing a new property and wants the peace of mind that comes with a thorough inspection. - 29/10/2019

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 

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! - 30/04/2020

Nigel responded quickly with a booking and inspection, providing an enormous level of detail and exactly what we needed to make an informed property decision. He is an easy and thorough communicator, very thorough, very motivated and just reports and explains the facts so you can make good decisions. Total pro. - 18/08/2021 

Was so impressed with the detail and the content of the report. Pointed out a lot more items that needed attention than I seen.Also gave peace of mind about the house. - 30/04/2020 

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
