Highly recommend Buywise to do pre-purchase building and pest inspection. Overall, we had 4 inspections booked with the team and each time they delivered a thorough report and were very responsive to questions. The team is very good at what they do and the information in their report helped us avoid going to auction for a place where they found previous termite presence and damages in the subfloor. Thanks to Celine, Phil, Peter, Daniel and the team for helping our buying journey. We have now bought a place after an inspection by Buywise gave us the information to feel confident about the purchase. Will definitely use Buywise again for future purchases.

Great service. As the inspection was over, later in the day, Peter the inspector gave me a call later in the day and updated me with a positive news. Received the report the next morning

I had 2 property inspections done by Buy Wise. Phill and Celine were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure this was done before I went to auction. They offered very thorough and honest results which gave me the confidence to buy.

Highly recommend this service. Philip and Peter made the process a breeze and between the two of them the level and standard of quality advice we got was second to none. Going above and beyond to accept our multiple questions and additional phone calls. Thank you!

Phil was incredible for my inspection at BuyWise. Price wasn’t cheap, especially since I was inspecting just a unit and I didn’t win the auction but gave him a go because I had family who had a great experience with their BuyWise inspection, also with Phil.Process was simple from start to finish - request a quote online, pay a deposit, BuyWise organises a date/time with the real estate agent, you are notified of the date/time, you pay deposit to confirm inspection, inspection happens, inspector calls you that evening to give you an overview of inspection results, you pay full amount, Buy Wise emails you the report.I had a shorter timeline due to an auction which made me anxious but Buy Wise got the inspection done in time and even got the vendor to fix a major plumbing issue prior to auction day.I wasn’t at the inspection myself as I couldn’t make it which made me uneasy but Phil was so thorough on the phone after the inspection that I actually think it was fine. I also gave Phil another call after I read through the official report and again, Phil was detailed, patient and super helpful.I would definitely recommend BuyWise.

Amazing Customer service!Was recommended Buy Wise by a family friend and it was such a good decision. They fit in our building and pest inspection promptly and even shifted around their schedule to accommodate our needs.The Inspection was very detailed and gave us a great Insite to any issues the property might have. The documentation provided was easy to read and understand and even included recommendations on what to do to fix the issues found.110% worth it for peace of mind or getting all concerns addressed.

I’m really grateful for the Phil’s thoroughness and professionalism. He took the time to explain things clearly, and demonstrated deep knowledge across all aspects of the property.Thanks to his attention to detail, he was able to identify key issues and potential risks that I wouldn’t have picked up on myself. His insights gave me the confidence to make a well-informed decision. Highly recommended.

I’ve used Buy Wise a few times recently in my pursuit to buy a house. I have been met with nothing short of the best. Phil is thorough, professional, explains every little thing in detail, communication is easy and friendly.Celine is also amazing. She meets tight timeframes with ease, communicated at every step and is understanding when things change last minute.I recommend Buy Wise highly and will definitely be using them while I continue to find that house

I was fortunate enough to have Philip Guildea from Buy Wise complete a building inspecting report for a property I was considering purchasing. My advocate had organised Philip on my behalf as her company frequently engages him, and I understand why. Philip was able to quickly schedule in an inspection which was very time dependent. He was extremely thorough, and filled me in immediately via phone the results of the inspection, so I could make an informed decision on how to proceed. He was very detailed in his findings, explaining based on his expertise, expectations and realities of the results of the report. The report was easy to understand. I was able to follow up with Philip after I read the report for more clarity on a few things that I wasn’t sure I understood, and he was extremely helpful in detailing it further. I would highly recommend Buy Wise and Philip. A very pleasant experience and I felt very well looked after.

We were extremely impressed with the building and pest report that Phil provided for a property we just purchased. We’ve had reports done for prior properties through other companies and they have never been as thorough and comprehensive as the Buy Wise team. Phil left no stone unturned and allowed us to confidently purchase the home knowing what needed to be immediately remedied and recommendations to save us money in the long run. We would highly recommend Phil and the Buy Wise team and will absolutely be using them for any future purchases.

Buy Wise was very easy to work with from the beginning with prompt communication and follow-ups. Really appreciate the effort taken to go throughout the property and highlight every possible concern. This helps a lot in assessing the urgent repairs even if it doesn't fall under major defects. I can recommend them without any doubt for a transparent and detailed inspection. Thanks, Sam.

I recently enlisted Buy Wise for a building and pest inspection, as per recommendations made by close family and friends, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. The team was very friendly and incredibly thorough in their assessment. Phil took his time to explain his findings and gave me a call immediately after the inspection with a brief overview and followed up by a thorough report later that evening. He made sure that we understood the details of the findings and was always available to answer any concerns I had the following day. I felt confident in their expertise which helped me make the right decision in the end. The whole team was very professional and approachable. Highly recommend

We couldn't be happier with Buy Wise Inspections and highly recommend their services.

I went on google and made a booking based on the glowing reviews and was not disappointed. The entire process from start to finish was efficient, professional and just overall a very pleasant experience. Phil's reporting in particular was very thorough and was explained over the phone in great detail. He was very happy to answer any additional questions and offered his professional recommendation and approach to our concerns. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Phil and Celine.

We were extremely impressed with the quality and thoroughness of our building and pest inspection with Buy Wise. Phil was exceptionally professional, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable, ensuring that every aspect of the property was carefully assessed.The report itself is very detailed (over 100 pages!) and covered EVERYTHING - including recommendations for next steps (if any) and was turned around overnight.What stood out the most was the time and care Phil took to walk us through all the findings, answering every follow-up question with clarity and patience. His insights gave us the confidence to make an informed decision, and we truly appreciated his expert advice - his many years experience in the industry really show.If you're looking for an honest, reliable, and meticulous inspector, we highly recommend Phil. Celine was also really helpful and amazing booking us in and managing the booking, invoicing etc! Outstanding overall service and communication from start to finish. Thank you very much Phil & Celine!

I would definitely recommend Buy Wise if you're planning on doing a building and pest inspection when buying a house. Their report was thorough and detailed but easy to understand, and they really checked everything out as much as possible - despite there being no access to the building stumps/subfloor, they were still able to provide images of the underfloor area and give a helpful assessment of the condition. No stone was left unturned, and the report gave clear recommendations as to how to proceed, pointing out potential issues/major defects, but also providing guidance on future maintenance and preventative measures that could be taken if we proceeded to purchase.We were very pleased with the level of care and service provided.

My husband and I recently had Phil from Buywise do a building and pest inspection for our first investment property. From start to finish, the whole experience was seamless and professional.The report was sent within 24hours and was comprehensive yet easy for us to understand. It included thorough details and pictures of all the checks carried out. This gave us a great sense of security and the whole process was made very easy for usby the Buywise team.

Highly recommend buywise for your housing inspection. I was recommended buywise from a friend and they did not dissapoint. The access to the house to complete the inspection did not go smoothly and their communication was fantastic and personalised. The property inspection was thorough and again received a phone can to explan the report and confirm if I had any questions. Highly recommend buywise !!

Amazing Service! Phil conducted inspections on two properties for us, and along with a thorough report gave us a call the same day to explain any issues clearly and in layman's terms.Also went above and beyond, taking a look at one of the properties again when we had a niggle after final inspection for no charge.Will definitely use again.

We used BuyWise on three occasions when purchasing our next home and each time the service and reports received were of high quality. Celine’s customer service was impeccable and went above and beyond to be able to fit us in at late notice on a couple of occasions ensuring we were able to make informed decisions prior to deadlines. Phil was always very thorough with his inspections and reports. His knowledge and honesty left us feeling confident knowing what we were looking at and potentially purchasing.I would highly recommend Buywise to friends & family and will use them again if required in the future! 10/10!

BuyWise go above and beyond for clients.Phil carried out an a home and pool inspection for client who were buying a heritage home. The 90 page report was comprehensive and when the client asked me what they should tackle first I lled Phil and we went through the report and prioritised the five biggest jobs (a good 4 months after the original inspection).For a property of one hundred plus years old, there were no significant tasks, lots of TLC and cosmetics.We then had to call Phil rather urgently as we were told by the carpet installer that the property had "termites" (this time a good 7 months past the original inspection date). Phil arrived within 3 hours of my call, only to confirm the "termites" were actually dust and wood shavings.Superb service and happy to have Buywise on speed dial.
