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 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

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

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 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 

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.
