Testimonials

I had Nigel conduct two home inspections for me whilst looking for my first home. He was always prompt and courteous. He was very thorough and compiled two of the best home inspection reports that i've ever seen. They were very detailed and outlined all the problem areas of both properties. I even had the real estate agent ask for his details after witnessing how much attention to detail his reports were. I have no problem recommending his services to anyone looking to have a building inspected. - 17/03/2017 

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 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 

Nigel was extremely professional and thorough in his inspection of my newly purchased property in Daylesford. His report was detailed and specific and contained several small repair / maintenance items I hadn't noticed and thus will prove of great assistance to guide me once I move in. - 17/12/2020 

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 

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 

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 

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 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

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 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 

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 

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

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 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

Nigel takes his work seriously and is a true professional within his industry.Thanks again Nigel and best of WishesGary Winter - 30/06/2021 

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 

As a first home buyer, I was grateful for the inspection report I received. I was lucky that Nigel was able to fit my inspection in at short notice and he offered feed back and a prompt same day report, presented clearly and cohesively and was happy to talk through any questions I may have had. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a building inspection. - 17/03/2018

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 

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

We were really happy with the service provided by Zync. We've used Nigel twice now and we've recommended him to friends. He is responsive, timely and does a very thorough job.
