Invaluable service during lockdown

Due to constantly being in lockdown I was unable to assess a home so found using Your Building Inspector a very useful service. Very thorough and detailed report provided and an honest opinion given. Highly recommended.

I was completely happy with the service provided, from the initial phone call and advice on what I needed, to the professional inspection and advice given by the inspector. I called him twice to clarify some things and he was very accommodating. As a result I was able to avoid making a purchase which could have cost me a lot more in the long run. Thanks so much, I will definitely use this company again.

Great pest and building inspection

The inspector Richard arrived at the spot in time and he did not waste any time to start working as soon as the gate was opened. I appreciate his explanation about the major and minor defects of the house pretty clear.

Helpful negotiating tool

Prompt, responsive service that identified some significant issues in the bathrooms of the property we’re purchasing. That information helped us negotiate a substantial reduction in price.
