How to Choose a Building Inspector - Testimonials

Testimonials are one way of finding out if a building inspector is worthwhile engaging.

After conducting building inspections since 2004 we are happy to say it appears we are providing a great service to Melbourne home buyers. Along with referral work and our customers, for the last 8 years, we have also continued to assist Melbourne’s oldest and respected Buyers Advocacy – Wakelin Property Advisory – with all their house inspection needs which is testament to our professionalism in the building inspection industry.

Below we have cut and pasted numerous emails we have received from our customers, thanking us for our inspection service. We also, would like to thank all our customers for their support and flattering comments.

1. Hi Peter, Just to let you know we purchased this property on the weekend. The agent said to us you were the most thorough building inspector he had seen and that he would definitely consider using you himself!! Thanks again for your work- it certainly helped us in getting comfort around the purchase.”

2. Hi Peter, Thanks again for helping us out on New years eve, we really appreciate it. The report is very thorough and an excellent resource as a starting point for future renovations on the house. We would definitely recommend you to anyone we come across. We will be in touch later in the new year for your recommendation on service providers as you mentioned and let you know the outcome of the roof situation with the vendor. Wish you and Billie an awesome New Year. All the best Mila & Don

3. Thanks Peter, a very insightful report. A few items in there for us to resolve but nothing that really concerns us.

4. Having reviewed the report we dialed back on the amount we were willing to spend and missed out on the house. We are pretty comfortable with having missed it and are grateful for the very detailed report.

5. Hello Peter, Your report was very clear and comprehensive. At this stage, we don’t have any questions but we will contact you should any questions arise. Thanks for doing such a comprehensive report at such short notice. Regards, Ron

6. Hi Peter, thanks for your email. everything seems great thank you. I have forwarded the report to the real estate to have a look at the roof and see if i can get a quote on repairing the tiles before settlement. thanks again for your service, i’ll definitely be recommending you. Kind Regards, Tamara

9. Peter, Thanks for the follow up. Good customer service is always appreciated. We ended up buying the house at auction for a great price. Thanks for doing the inspection and the advice. Will definitely recommend you to others. Cheers James

10. Hi Peter, Just letting you know that we were successful at the auction on Saturday! One thing I know for sure is that we were the most well informed bidders, and I thank you for that. Thanks again, Chris.

11. I got the house!!! Which was a good outcome and it is nice not to have to keep looking. I am very grateful for all of your assistance. My dad and I were talking and we were wondering if you would be willing to spend an hour or so with us after settlement just to come to the property and talk through any suggestions / solutions that you may have? Thanks again I have already been recommending you to a number of people here at Mallesons that are on the house hunt. So expect them to be in touch Kind regards Marissa

12. Many thanks Peter, We have bought several homes over our lifetimes and have used inspection reports. This is the clearest yet. Congrats. I see why you were recommended. (Feel free to use this comment.)”
