      BuyWise completed a building and pest inspection at a property in Blairgowrie. They were very responsive with an urgent booking and quick turnaround time on the report. The report was very thorough allowing us to make an informed decision on the purchase.

      We went through Buywise a few years ago, as we were buying our first home. Upon inspection, Buywise found that the house we intended on purchasing had termites! With their help we we able to cancel the offer we made on that house. We went through them a second time and were successful in buying our first home. As we are now going through them again for another house, we would like to recognize that the service and correspondence is still just as amazing as it was years ago.Wouldn't go through anyone else!

      Would never make such a big purchase without getting their help - the staff are just fantastic, the experts will make the time to discuss any questions you might have, and we have avoided making a bad purchase with their help - plain and simple. Going to sleep better at night knowing the place we did buy is a-ok aside from a few to be expected maintenance things. Thank you so much!!

      We have dealt with Peter, Trevor and the Buywise/Pest Police team on a number of occasions and are always impressed by their professionalism, level of detail and prompt communication. For our most recent Comprehensive Building & Pest Inspection we needed to re-schedule at late notice, Tania was very helpful and understanding. We highly recommend their services.

      We were very happy with your service last year, and it saved us from what would have been a bad purchase! Peter was most helpful & generous with his time when explaining some report details and making recommendations. So, we're satisfied return customers, and again Tania has been very accommodating in arranging the inspection at short notice to fall within 3-day cooling off period & we know we will get a reliable report that will inform our purchasing decision.

      I commissioned a Comprehensive Building and Pest Inspection Report from Buywise and cannot recommend them enough.The building inspection was completed by Buywise's director Peter, who is a Registered Building Practitioner. The pest inspection was completed by Rohan, a registered pest inspector in the employ of the business.Both reports were available the night of the inspection and supplied with pictures and detailed comments. I was impressed by the quality of the reports and it is clear they had been thorough in their approach.I had a few questions relating to a few findings in the building report and my query was quickly attended to by a return phone call from Peter, who patiently answered my questions with clarity and in a way that was easy for a layperson like me to understand. His manner was impeccable and this level of 'after-sales' care is rare.This was equally matched by the manner in which my initial query was handled by their office manager Tania, who guided me through what the process entailed and which inspections were most appropriate for my circumstances.I am completely satisfied with the product and level of service that was delivered, and will certainly be a returning client in the future!

      Thorough and efficient. We paid the extra for the more detailed inspection, this was definitely worth the money as now we know what maintenance our property requires when we move in to prevent any future headaches.

      First and foremost, a huge shoutout to the rockstar Tania @ Buywise Inspections. She was the most helpful and accommodating when we mentioned to her that the inspections needed to be completed within the next 4-5 days. Instead of the expected response of not being able to manage it within the tight timeframe, Tania moved around few inspections and accommodated us within our 7 days deadline. Thank you so much for that!Our chosen package had 2 experts inspecting the property - Peter & Rohan. The reports were provided on the same evening and they were very detailed with relevant photographs to help understand the wording of the report. Along with the facts laid out in the report, Peter & Rohan also made suggestions for the future regarding the structure and pest control so as we are able to enjoy the property for a long period of time with the minimum of hassle.I highly recommend the services of Buywise Inspections.

      Totally stoked with these guys. Used them a few times now and it has been faultless and very professional. Most recently we had to arrange a very quick inspection, I gave them a call and it was all booked in for the next day - nice works guys, keep up the great work, we'll be back for sure. Peace.

      I can't praise buy wise highly enough. The swiftness of their service and responsiveness of their managers and inspectors up to par and set standards. Thank you Tania for assisting us all along the way. I would surely use their service again. They helped us identify issues, and provided means to negotiate solutions. Regards from the BAHAR family.

      We needed a comprehensive building and pest report done ahead of purchasing an older home and we couldn't be happier with both the Build and Pest inspectors (Peter and Trevor) The staff were so lovely (Tania in particular is a star) and helpful and the inspectors highly experienced and thorough. The report provided a phenomenal amount of detail which provided for an excellent discussion with the inspector around costs and timeframes associated with various issues and a great basis for negotiation. You pay for the peace of mind which in our case provided a wealth of information and saved us money.

      We ordered a pest and building inspection before heading to auction for a property in Blackburn South a week ago. Every touch point with their staff was cordial and professional which was fantastic. The reports they provided were both detailed in their assessment, and useful in their description of what issues existed and whether they mattered. As a person unfamiliar with building regulations and standards this information, along with images of areas we couldn't inspect ourselves, helped us decide not to participate in the auction

      We employed Buy-Wise after looking at a few different inspectors in our area. We chose them based on their professionalism. The reports presented were thorough and easy to understand. I would recommend them again. The property inspected was in Cranbourne East.

      I highly recommend Buy Wise! We were first home buyers and super nervous to buy our first home. When I rang and spoke to Tania, she did absolutely everything she could to book in an urgent inspection, the whole time she was very professional and patient with me changing days and times. We then asked for a callback from Peter and he took the time to have a chat to me and answers my concerns about the property and report provided. My parents recommended this company to us after using them several times and I agree, I was very satisfied and will ensure I use them every time I buy a house in the future!

      Everyone from Buywise was incredibly helpful, from Tania who arranged everything with the agent, to the two guys on site who provided an incredibly in depth report which alerted us to some (non major) issues that we can address quickly.Recommend this business to anyone needing a property inspected

      Really happy with the inspections carried out by Peter H (major structural building) and Rohan (pest ). Couldn't attend due to Covid19 restrictions but the guys took heaps of photos and when I needed to discuss further with Peter the rising damp he was very helfpul over the phone and gave me the clarification I needed on how best to resolve it. We did end up buying the house, reduced our offer to allow for repair of the rising damp and there are other things we can now confidently address when we take possession of the property. Highly recommend and would definitely use again. The reports were provided later that day and spoke to Peter the next morning. So much better than a building inspection I did a few years ago which only told me things blind Freddy could have spotted. Peter and Rohan climb all over the house, go on and in the roof, under the houes and the photos are really useful as all the problem areas are captured for your reference.

      It was probably the best $740 I have spent, and it saved me thousands if not 10s of thousand. From engagement to final report Buywise provided a great customer service experience.Two Buywise staff performed a very thorough inspection, drafted a detailed report and were quite patient in explaining the issues, that were discovered in the report, to a layman like me. I would strongly recommend all home buyers to have building and pest inspection before purchase. It will save you from a lot of pain in the future.

      Buy wise came highly recommended by two of my work colleagues. I booked a building and pest inspection for a property in Mornington.I don’t have a lot of experience and knowledge in this area. Tania was brilliant explaining the process.I met the buy wise team at the property. They were very happy to speak with me during the inspection and talked through their findings and recommendations. They were very professional and I had full trust in their recommendations.The reports came through very quickly (despite workload). Very comprehensive reports with lots of photos.I would definitely use buy wise in the future and would highly recommend.

      Used this company for a building and pest inspection on a property we were going to find. There experts found undisclosed termite damage and as a result we withdrew our offer potentially saving us thousands. They are worth every penny and will be using them again very soon.

      Buywise provided an excellent service experience. Tania was fantastic and helped us navigate an extremely difficult situation. Access to the property was postponed by the vendor numerous times and made everything extremely akward. The inspectors were on time and very professional and well spoken. The report was extremely detailed and covered everything you will need. I highly recommend Buywise for all your house inspection needs. They went above and beyond for us. We were successful with the house purchase at Mornington so we are very pleased. Thank-you to the team at Buywise

      Buywise were extremely thorough and professional - the inspections for both major structural and pest were highly detailed, very accurate and helped me to make a well-informed offer on an older property with some issues. Their helpful staff were not only happy to discuss and explain the findings but also took an interest, following up with me to see what I had decided regarding the property. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone as a well priced, quality service.

      Peter did an assessment on our house which was for sale after he was engaged by the vendor. He noted in the report that it was constructed from brick and foam render, when in fact, it was constructed from brick, Hebel and only one wall was foam render. The vendor was under the impression that it was mainly all foam render based on the report. This inaccuracy on the report almost cost us our sale. Lucky the vendor expressed his concerns to our agent who then notified us, of which we were able to clarify to the vendor the exact construction method and materials that were used.******* In response to Peter...Thanks for your response. We received a copy of your report, however were dumbfounded that you couldn't distinguish between the two - Hebel or foam. You can easily knock on the cladding to find out the difference. You were also under the house for a while so you would've been able to see the Hebel as it went to the natural ground level. Apologies if you feel offended by this review and feel the need to remove it, but I'm stating this on fact and truth. We have no reason to "get even" with you, as we weren't impacted based on our sale going through. Perhaps next time, you need to be more thorough in your assessments and make sure what you put in your reports is based on truth, as you can easily mislead or confuse your clients.
