checked out everything in so much detail and did not just focus on the typical inspection criteria. That level of service is usually hard to find!

Arranged to have the inspection done and we were very happy. Peter was on time and provided the report for us to be able to submit well within the time frame. Have no hesitation in recommending New Home Inspections

report took several weeks to produce it was highly detailed and provided an excellent baseline from which reparation works could be planned and executed. The process was quite expensive for a residential property but would only represent a small percentage of the costs of reparation.

In September 2025 , Resicert was recommended to by the real estate agent on the SunShine Coast who was selling the property in which we were… Read more

interested . We were from interstate at the time and wished to engage, expert independent advice as time was limited. We engaged what we thought would be a top level level report at cost, as we were relying on its thoroughness. The report was the antithesis of this expectation. While the report was lengthy in its presentation, seeming to consider areas, upon close scrutiny, the language minimised the focus on significant costly damage. This only became evident when we moved in and acknowledged the significance of the negligence. While we could deal with the report's failure to include several defects from failing switches , lifting garage flooring , rusted under sink pipes, we could not accept the devastating significance of the leaking and complete rusting of parts of the guttering of the 2 storey home . The report failed in its photos and omitted the holes in the guttering. The report also omitted reference to a lengthy, falling boundary fence that was not attached in parts to its support beams. It is structurally unsound. Any complaints we found could only be referred to Resicert in Perth, despite Resicert claiming to have " a %100 guarantee". Uncertain what this means. Resicert's response was that they viewed the report and all was satisfacory.."nothing to see here", despite our photos and videos to the contrary. It is March 2026, we are still seeking investigations and financial compensation.

numerous significant issues that required attention, including bouncy floors due to structural concerns and major roof tile problems with active leaks. The roof was also found to be non-compliant with storm safety requirements. In contrast, the pre-sale report provided by the owners showed little to no issues, further highlighting the value of the inspector’s detailed assessment. Thank you again

Rhys's commitment to his clients is truly commendable. He went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the property inspection process was smooth and stress-free. His friendly demeanor and willingness to address any concerns or questions made the entire experience a pleasure.

His knowledge and expertise in the field were evident as he identified potential issues and provided valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions.

One of the standout qualities of Rhys's service is his promptness. He understands the urgency that often accompanies property inspections, and he delivered results in a timely manner without compromising on quality. His efficiency and reliability were truly impressive, ensuring that we had the information we needed when we needed it.

Based on my experience with Rhys at Platinum Property Inspectors, I recommend his services. His commitment to exceptional customer service, thorough investigations, and prompt delivery sets him apart from the rest.

Thank you, Rhys, for your outstanding service.

Exceptionally detailed – I built my house in Eliza whilst working overseas. I engaged Final Inspect to perform stage inspections throughout the construction process, from… Read more

pre-slab to handover. I couldn’t have asked for more. From the very start the builder understood that unless Final Inspect ok’d the stage, there would be no payment. Final Inspect made sure that the works conformed to the contract and to the relevant Australian Standards from start to finish. The builder tried it on once, and only once, after which I had no problems and the house was built to spec. I remember near the end there was a dent in the gutter which I didn’t think much of and wanted to let go - just so I could move in. Peter’s comment to me was “ if you bought a new car and went to pick it up and it had a dent in it, what would you do?” He had a point. You pay for a new house without any defects, do not settle for anything less! Thanks Peter, and thanks Final Inspect. Five stars and worth every cent!

If you are building a new house from scratch, I Highly recommend you to use their full Stage inspections package. ( Slab, Frame , Enclosed, Handover)

Skilful inspectors, punctual and give you on site tour, showing every critical details which can save you hundreds of dollars in a long run.

I have no doubt to engage them in future and %100 satisfied with their service.

Thanks

Amazing service throughout the process – I was really happy with the detailed report delivered on the same day as the inspection, and also with Andrew calling back to explain it. It was worth every cent!

Never again! – While on site I asked the inspector to look at an additional ceiling. An extra 5-10 minutes, no photos. Instead of charging $300ph + GST at 15 minute… Read more

intervals (ie $75) as stated they charged me $660+GST. The front sheet of the work order, clause 1, and the T&Cs, state $300 /hour rate, in 15 minute increments, both for variations and additional visit. But they also have a vague clause that they charge pro-rata without stating how they work that out. Sounds consistent with the $300ph stated, sounds like they'll charge in proportion to the extra hours required. But no, you find out when they use your credit card for a second time. Multiple emails got nowhere. Would give a negative number of stars if that was possible.

I've always had photos supplied on building inspections, but they didn't got that far.

Never again!

Very disappointed with the service that I had from Landmark Inspections. I was concerned that the scope of their inspections were not lining up with… Read more

the progress stages of my builder for the Frame Stage. Therefore, I asked Landmark Inspections to give my builder a call to ensure the site was ready for them to perform their Frame Inspection. I specifically stated that I didn’t want to get a report back with a lot of incomplete items as the work had not been completed yet. Landmark Inspections contacted the construction supervisor and stated that they were good to go. I then received the report back, which had 23 total inspections, with 13 of them marked as incomplete (i.e., they couldn’t check more than half the job). When I called them up to query this, they were not very helpful and were not willing to offer any compensation. The frustrating part of this was that I specifically called them before they went out to make sure it didn’t happen and they still went ahead with the job site not ready for a full inspection. If you are going to engage Landmark Inspections, I would advise making sure that the job site is at the correct stage, or they will happily turn up and only do half the job.

I got this company to carry out a building inspection at my home. They completely missed rot in an external wall under a valley. Evidence was… Read more

available on google Street view (water stains on brick wall) and nearmaps (slipped roof tile) for 3 years prior. There was also a big hole in the sarking made by a builder to install a pergola which was clearly visible in the roofspace (you could see daylight comming in) None of this was picked up in the inspection report. And they deny any responsibility for failing to identify the damage. They gave me a legal response saying a close line blocked their view and that there was rain so they couldn't access the roof. They clearly dont know about moisture meters and thermal imaging. They also said they identified tile slippage which they did but it was a tile in a different area as the photo on their report clearly shows and that particular tile had only partially slipped and the sarking was fine in that area. It was another smokescreen. They also said they advised me to get a professional roofer to fix the slipped tiles and if I did it could have prevented the water damage. The funny thing is that I did get a roofer to fix the slipped tile and he identified others and a hole at the time one month after I took poessession of the house but the damage was at the base of the cavity wall which he couldn't see from the roof. I found this myself 9 months later when removing skirtings for renovations.

I have attached photos of the staining on the wall which can be seen on street view for 3 years prior.

I also attached photos the roofer took at the time of the things he fixed which were not on the report and an aerial photo from near maps showing the location of these

I would not recommend this company as they did a poor inspection for me and took no responsibility.
