We are so glad we chose Nigel to do our Prop inspection. He was super thorough and gave all the details we needed about the property. He was also really helpful in talking through things I didnt know about or understand. I honestly wouldnt purchase a property without Nigel going over it first.

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 

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

I could not recommend Zync Inspections highly enough. Nigel conducted a building and pest inspection of a primary home and outbuildings relating to a home purchase. Nigel provided all the information required upfront, conducted a thorough inspection of the property, provided a comprehensive written report by the afternoon of the inspection and followed up to ensure I understood the report and answer any questions. The information provided was thorough and of great value - fantastic service. - 17/03/2019

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 

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 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 from ZYNC inspections was very thorough, his report for our house inspection was easy enough to read and understand, with pictures showing the areas he was discussing.

Nigel was great to deal with and I couldn't recommend him highly enough. Did an extremely thorough inspection and was helpful in explaining all the issues in detail and provided a full report that night. Also was happy to answer extra questions and provide guidance on a couple of renovation ideas as well. Would use again! - 27/01/2026 

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 

Great detailed reports with imagery referencesWe 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. - 24/02/2022

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 

I found Nigel to be prompt, very detailed and able to give good counsel with the many questions I had about the property. The report was easy to understand and thorough. I will use Nigel again. - 17/03/2018 

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 

Nigel was very prompt getting back to me to organise the house inspection. His detailed report was great and also gave me a call back explaining everything. I would recommend Nigel and his business to my friends and family. - 17/03/2018 

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 

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 inspected my property before I purchased it and I was so impressed with his insight into structure, soil and overall report. He turned the report around really quickly and provided photos as evidence, which will help when it comes to any potential renovations further down the track. - 24/10/2021
