New Home Inspections made the process of having our home checked with a private inspector so easy. They communicated incredibly well and helped us through every step of the way.

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.

We were really happy with Michael's work, he booked in the inspection promptly and arranged it with the real estate agent, rang me straight after the… Read more

inspection to clearly explain all the issues with the house, and even worked over a long weekend to make sure we had the reports quickly. The reports (pest and building) were really comprehensive and gave us a clear indication of risks involved in purchasing the property. Highly recommend Northern House Inspection.

Highly recommend these guys. The whole process from booking to report was seamless. They came at short notice, inspector was happy to answer questions on the day and the written report was comprehensive. Very happy.

I took a chance on All build inspections after I read the reviews. Vlad did a new apartment inspection for me in Moonee Ponds and I was blown away… Read more

by his expertise in his field and his knowledge of the building Act. He was extremely thorough in carrying out the inspection and provided clarity on why these defects needed to be rectified. I would highly recommend Vlad to all my family and friends or for anyone looking for an inspector.

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.

photo's. The whole process was very smooth and the team very accommodating to timings etc. I am very happy to recommend them and would use them again in the future if needed.

Essentially, you need a report to purchase. It’d be st^pid not to. God forbid you have to before these incompetent fools. Ask a few questions about… Read more

the report, to the person who pulled it together; nope. Can’t answer that. Need to ask the strata mangers… wait a week, don’t get a single response. The customer service folks are amazingly considerate and polite but reporters like S.M. Are hopeless

Chris has provided us with two building inspection reports recently. He provided well written details and lots of photos. Chris was available to… Read more

discuss property defects and explain all aspects of the report. I highly recommend his prompt service and wouldn’t hesitate to use this service in the future.

Missed water leak and water damage in bathroom. Wouldn’t recommend them. I sent feedback and never received a response.

Great service – Great service from start to the end. The inspector demonstrated extensive knowledge and conducted an exceptionally thorough inspection, identifying… Read more

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

Amazing Customer Service – We recently engaged Rhys from Platinum Property Inspectors to a building inspection on a house we purchased in Silvan. From start to finish, Rhys… Read more

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!

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.

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!

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.

Inspection Hub charged $500 to rush through my pre purchase inspection . Didnt find obvious issues that I had identified in my own walk through . Guy was there for 45 minutes. Never again.

Pre-Handover Inspection: ASBIR was contracted and paid to perform a Pre-Handover Inspection, which was poorly executed, causing a two-week delay. The… Read more

certifier couldn’t issue the Form 21 due to defects which should have been picked up by ASBIR, delaying my settlement and leaving my family and I facing homelessness.

ASBIR Missed These Issues: 1. Hot Water System: The system was sitting on a 30 cm pile of soft sand, almost toppling off with a slight push. This was a major safety concern. How did ASBIR miss this? 2. HVAC Unit: Not attached to anything, wobbling dangerously. Another major oversight. 3. Additional Defects: Loose bricks, dangerous door skirtings, broken window lock, lock on the security screen didn’t work or lock. 4. ASBIR also missed checking essential BAL-rated items like ember guards and was unaware that the home was BAL rated. 5. ASBIR missed that the downpipes were not glued/secured and nor were they straight, which has since caused significant issues. 6. ASBIR missed that 50% of the security screens were not installed, which is mandatory for BAL compliance, and stated that he had “inspected them”, when 50% of them had not even been installed yet. 7. The inspector didn’t check windows, doors, or the garage door properly, that the blinds were broken on some installations, skirting missing, shockingly bad painting, drips, dents, spills etc. 8. The inspector didn't pick up that the shower leaked. 9. The ASBIR inspector failed to notice the 2-4mm gaps between floor boards and skirting and dangerous and crooked wood cuts.

Other Concerns: 1. When I mentioned that I had installed plumbing shut-off valves under each sink/tap, he insulted me and called me dumb for making this choice, and dismissed my preferences. 2. He failed to recognise the importance of proper fence installation to prevent wood rot. The builder had left a 10-20 cm of soil form the ground level to 10-20cm below ground level, where there was meant to be concrete to the ground level. 3. His unprofessional attitude was appalling, from eye rolls to refusing to take off his shoes in my brand new floors/home, to using a walking stick with dirt all over it scraping my brand new floors. 4. The ASBIR inspector could barely move around or get up on a ladder, and failed to get up into the roof to inspect the roof cavity properly, nor did he inspect the exterior roof.

From missing crucial certification required items which caused a delay to our family’s move in date, to the unprofessional behaviour form the ASBIR inspector to ZERO acknowledgement from the Owner when I advised them via email what happened, ASBIRs service was HORRENDOUS!

Yes, these were issues caused by a shonky builder, but I paid ASBIR for their expertise in picking up these issues and helping me get the builder to rectify them before handover.

ASBIR failed! There should be an option for ZERO stars.

I did not receive the quality inspection I paid for, and I strongly recommend avoiding their services.

What more can I say 5 stars – Excellent service on all aspects of the inspection. The fast report of building stages with hight detailing photos, written report that helps the… Read more

Building Mentor – I choose Darren of Affordable building inspections before I choose my builder. Before I employed him, he was guiding me through the building process… Read more

- me 64 and a first-time builder. Darrens reports were comprehensive with photographs, so if I did not know what he meant the photographs helped. The builder also found his reports helpful, and they were in addition to their own quality control. An extra set of eyes. I managed to learn a lot about building, through Darren and others, and was fortunate that I had a really good building supervisor. The supervisor works for the builder, while Darren worked for me. Darren's advice was objective, realistic and subjective. Building standards although not referenced in his reports were clear to the reader and the builder. Not being a builder myself I went with a reputable builder. I chose to have a building inspector, to tell me the things that I didn't know. Building is hard, complicated and I misunderstood a lot of things, having a building inspector is helpful, Darren as well as his reports that were formal gave me the informal version as well - which was probably more useful to me. Overall, we had a good build. Having had building inspector, I know most of the issues that the builder or I will have to fix in the future.

This purchase is being held up thanks to Jim's Building inspections being vigorously checked – I had a Building inspector from Jim's building inspections do a thorough house inspection for me for a property I want to buy. The inspection was… Read more

very thorough and opened my eyes to a lot of costly repairs if I continued with the purchase and not having these rectified prior to me taking ownership. A lot of the issues raised were not apparent to me as they seemed trivial but unfortunately not safety compliant. There were larger issues like retaining walls and drainage that needed repairs and would be very expensive.

property as I know there are alot out there that do not have the knowledge to be able to inspect the build as thoroughly as I would have liked it to be inspected. But Darren was referred to me and had the credentials I believe is necessary for the service I was hiring to do. We have just completed our PCI inspection and have used All pro building inspections throughout the entire build. I must say I was VERY impressed. Not only were they friendly and accommodating, Darren spent the time to inspect each stage at the highest level ensuring every part of the build was built at quality expectations even on the most minor things, which meant alot to us as we are spending alot of money build a home for ourselves. His prices are competitive and was worth every penny to ensure we end up with a home that meet our expectations. Cannot thank you enough Darren and will recommend you to everyone.

Very friendly and knowledgeable – Very impressed as a first home buyer how friendly the inspector was. He did his work and then showed me all the defects and explained the… Read more

significance of them, and how they should be addressed. I asked a lot of questions about the property and how things worked and he was able to provide answers and information on everything. The reports were completed a lot quicker than expected as well. I would happily recommend this company to other first home buyers who would benefit from a fair and experienced inspector.
