Testimonials

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

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 

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 

Nigel did an outstanding job as our building and pest inspector! He was extremely thorough, and his attention to detail really impressed us. What stood out even more was that he took the time to personally call me and explain any issues he found, making sure I understood everything clearly. His report was well-organised and easy to follow, and his professionalism gave us real peace of mind. If you're after someone reliable, knowledgeable, and great at communication, I highly recommend Nigel. Thanks again for the top-notch service! - 26/09/2024

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.

It has helped me to identify and prioritize necessary repair jobs to the property.

Zync/Nigel performed two inspections for me pre purchase and gave meticulous reports for each. One of them greatly assisted in highlighting some expensive issues prior to purchase, the other provided me with purchase confidence and gave me a brilliant maintenance report to safeguard the property for the future.Nigel's operations are tech forward, punctual and personalised with added personal phone calls and advice. I highly recommend Zync for Hepburn/Macedon Ranges and beyond building and pest inspections. - 17/03/2020

I was impressed how quickly ZYNC were able to accommodate my request for a building and pest inspection. The report provided was detailed and informative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommended the services provided by ZYNC! - 23/06/2021 

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 

I chose ZYNC for my house inspection because of the reviews. And ill say, the service lived up to the reviews. Nigel’s report helped give me peace of mind in purchasing my first place. He called and explained the report to me , he was upfront and honest about what he inspected so I knew what maintenance needed to be done. Thankyou! - 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

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

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 

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 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 

Fantastic are first home buyers and we brought in Bendigo. Nigel was very easy to speak to and was very accommodating and was able to explain the whole Building and Pest Inspection process. The report was great and Nigel went above ans beyond with the report including all photos and details. Will definitely be using Zync House Inspections in the future and be referring their service :)Thank you for the wonderful service! - 17/03/2020 

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 worked with the Real Estate agent to inspect the property at short notice. The report was thorough and detailed. The report was supported by an excellent verbal conversation in which Nigel put the report in perspective of the properties age and gave an idea of the build quality. - 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 

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
