Nigel was great, easy to deal with, responsive, and reliable. He is clearly very experienced in building and pest inspections and knows many of the local agents. His report was easy to understand and he was more than happy to talk it through over the phone. - 03/05/2021 

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 

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

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 

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

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 

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 

Impressed with the service I received when having a pest and building inspection on a property I was interested in. Nigel was prompt and assisted with having the inspection completed the next day.The report was thorough and recommendations taken into account whenmaking an offer. Thanks Nigel would certainly recommend Zync in the future. - 17/03/2019 

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 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

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

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 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 

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 

Positive: Professionalism I have used Nigel's services twice in recent years and he continues to be prompt and very efficient. His reports are always detailed , a great reference point for work requiring attention, and is happy to discuss his findings and make suggestions. Highly recommend. - 26/12/2021 

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 

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
