Great experience with their home inspection service. They were thorough, professional, and explained everything clearly. I was very happy with the service and even recommended them to my brother, who had a great experience as well. Highly recommend!
Max did an amazing job would highly recommend!
We?ve now used iSpect twice for building and pest inspections and honestly couldn?t recommend them enough. Both times they were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. They were really easy to organise, turned up when they said they would and did a really thorough inspection. The reports were detailed but easy to understand, which made the whole process of buying a house a lot less stressful. Buying a house is stressful enough, so having someone you can trust to properly check everything gives you such peace of mind. After using iSpect twice, they would definitely be our first choice if we ever needed another inspection. Highly recommend!
Great service and very professional. The inspection was thorough and everything was explained clearly. Friendly, reliable and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!

Max provided a detailed report before we were able to view the property. He was very easy to deal with, professional and went above and beyond to answer all concerns of the building. Thanks Max
First time working with a iSPECT and they did not disappoint. Thank you Max for coming out and for the report, was great to deal with a knowledgeable and professional inspector.
Max provided a very thorough and concise report and inspected areas we wouldn?t of looked at. Max also promptly responded to a follow up email we sent through. I highly recommend this company and the services of Max and thank them for such a prompt and concise report.
