Buywise Inspections offer the best service in town!! I called a number of inspection companies and found only Buywise sends 2 inspectors - one for Building and one for Pest inspections. Not only are they customer friendly, but the inspectors provide thorough reports, and are willing to answer any questions. Their service is prompt as well. I will certainly used Buywise's services again and highly recommend you to use them too.

Buy Wise were extremely helpful and professional with the Building & Pest inspection they provided me. It was my first home and they made it a smooth and easy process from start to finish.

We used Buy Wise to assist with our last property purchase and were very happy with the service provided. Responsive customer service, quick to complete the inspections and the comprehensive report picked up some valuable things to consider before we purchased the property.Because of the above reasons we've engaged BuyWise again for our next property purchase!

Great service and detailed reports!! We have used Buy Wise and associated companies for both our building and pest inspections. Extremely satisfied with their level of detail and expertise.

We had such a good experience with Buy Wise 4 years ago, when we bought our first home, and now we're using them again for the purchase of our second. The office staff and those doing the inspection are really friendly, clear and concise, and the reports are very thorough.

I am so grateful to have been recommended to use Buywise Inspections by family and friends. Emily was extremely helpful with any questions I had, very prompt with her communication and always friendly! The inspectors Peter and Trevor were extremely thorough with their inspections and both took the time to contact me via phone to discuss their findings before providing a detailed report. Thanks to their investigating and experience in the industry my partner and I were made aware of some severe complications with both active termites and major structural damage that we had previously been advised were non existent and less severe with a limited assessment being provided from another pest and building company on the same property. With the assessments completed by Peter and Trevor, we were able to withdraw from the contract of sale at no financial loss and go on to purchase a property safe for our family and two young children to live in with peace of mind.

Buy Wise Inspections are incredibly efficient and provide great customer service from the outset. Emily was friendly, helpful and informative. The information in emails was clear. The building and pest inspections and reports were done quickly and we also appreciated the phone call with the verbal updates. The online system to access reports was easy to use and great to have everything in one place. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for well priced service with a customer focus.

I recently used Buywise for a pre-purchase builders and pest inspection. As a first home buyer the process was a bit daunting but the staff were very friendly, helpful and responsive. The inspections were performed within a few days and 2 separate and very comprehensive inspection reports were provided. Couldn't recommend this company more highly and thanks again for the great service!

I used Buywise for a pre-purchase inspection for an existing dwelling about 4 years back,They were prompt and professional to deal with. The inspection was very thoroughly done and the report was comprehensive detailed with attached photos.So that’s the reason I am using their services again for pre purchase of my investment propertyDefinitely recommend for anyone purchasing their owner occupied or investment property.One of the best in the industry!!

We engaged BuyWise Inspections to complete a review of our first property purchase in Melbourne, having moved from interstate.We were very impressed with their service which included a comprehensive detailed report with photos that left us with no illusions of about the property we were looking to invest in.We speak highly of their customer service and have since engaged them in further inspections.

Excellent customer service and thorough inspections.As first home buyer we did not know what to expect or how to conduct a pest and building inspection. The team at BuyWise explained everything and dealt with the agents directly making sure we got the report within the timeframe allocated but our contract. They were friendly, understanding and put our minds at ease through the whole process.The report itself was extremely thorough, having picture and explanations of everything found. The inspectors even called us on the day to explain what they had found and answered all of our questions. The report ended up saving us tens of thousands of dollars as there was structural termite damage to the property.We have engaged BuyWise to inspect another property for us and will be recommending them to everyone we speak to.

We used Buywise for a pre-purchase inspection for an existing dwelling. They were prompt and professional to deal with. The inspection was thorough and the report comprehensive and detailed with attached photos. Definitely recommend for anyone purchasing property and we will use them for future purchases!

I have used Buywise pre purchase inspection services quite a few times and they provide good value for money. On one occasion we did not proceed with a property due to defects found, we spoke to the inspector and were able to get a good understanding of the structural issues with the property. On other occasions the list of smaller defects is a good maintenance list and watchouts for the future. Every time I use Buywise I talk to the inspectors and they are happy to chat about what they have found, the reports with photos are good too.

Exceptional service and detailed inspection report, highly recommended.As a first time buyer on an existing dwelling, we were glad that we used Buy Wise Inspection. Their quality service started from the first phone conversation which outlined their comprehensive services and pricing clearly, so we knew exactly what to expect. They even scheduled an inspection on our behalf directly with the real estate agent which made the process much simpler.The inspection reports were very thorough and detailed, they first summarised the property quality relative to the similar properties, then outlined each area in detail with clear photos. Most importantly every issue they identified, they provided a recommended solution with an indicative cost which allowed us to budget that into our overall purchase price. Every subsequent question that we had, they responded promptly in detail.Being one of the biggest purchases, we were glad that we partnered with someone who has been in the industry for decades! Highly recommended!

I have had the pleasure of using Buywise Inspections, Langwarrin twice so far--7 years ago and 3 years ago, while buying properties in Langwarrin. And on the basis of those experiences, using the company again this week, while buying an investment unit in Langwarrin.The reports produced were quite comprehensive and as a result, the vendors had to replace more than a dozen roof tiles and protect electric wires from the insulation in the roof.Further, on the basis of the report, we arranged protection against termites--common issue in Langwarrin .It was easy to arrange the inspection within a couple of days--before the 1 week deadline for the 10% deposit.On the basis of my experience, I would recommend Buywise Inspection, without any hesitation.

I used Buywise 23/9/21 for a comprehensive building and pest inspection. The pricing was high but I went ahead as they stated they could do it the following day. This didn't turn out to be the case as they called to inform me I had to wait 5 business days, apparently the vendor wasn't flexible. It happens, moving on. However after the inspections were complete myself and my partner had to chase Emily three times for the report. After the first msg we were assured it would be received later that evening, only to have to continue asking the following day. This added unnecessary stress to a time when we didn't need it. The report was of a high standard but unfortunately I need to give 3/5 stars as we felt the customer service took a back seat.

As a first home buyer a lot of these processes are a bit daunting, the team at Buy Wise were just amazing throughout the process! They have a clear and thorough report, which outlines all the items in detail. They took the time to run through the report with us so we understood the results, and they are just great to deal with. Highly recommend!!

Leo Jane

07:45 29 Sep 21

Can’t thank the team at Buy Wise enough! They saved me from investing in a property with major structural defects which I would have missed if it weren’t for them. The service was very personable, yet professional and prompt. Their reporting was thorough and clear, with easy to understand photos for those, like myself, who have little knowledge of building. Buy Wise was recommended to me by a friend, and I too will be recommending their services to anyone who is in need of a building and pest inspection. Thank you again Buy Wise team!

We used Buywise for when we purchased our first home. They were so easy to deal with and were so organised in contacting the agent and getting out to see the property. The report we got from them THAT NIGHT was so detailed with information about every aspect of the house. It varied from broken roof tiles to taps being the wrong way around and so much in between. The detail in the report also gave us price estimates to fix things which really helped with budgeting and determining what issues to resolve when and what we could do ourselves. They even had some tips in the report for example there was timber under the house that was just left there and they recommended removing it to reduce risks of pests.Since our inspection all my siblings and parents have also used Buywise, as well as some of my mates all of which couldn't believe how great and detailed the reports were. Hence now buying a new property we are going with these guys once again.

Buywise helped us with a pre-purchase inspection in Blackburn South.They went through with great detail, and arranged an inspection at short notice.I’d definitely reuse them again.

Amanda Kirkwood

Can't thank Peter and Rohan and the team enough for providing a full pest and building inspection report for a property i have just purchased. Being a single mum and this being such a huge decision and also with COVID restrictions in place, they have given me great peace of mind and even provided some ideas for improvements that could be done. I have really appreciated their help and follow up also. Would definitely recommend.

James B

07:25 14 Sep 21

Can't thank Emily, Peter and Trevor at Buy Wise enough for the building and pest inspection they conducted for me at short notice. During COVID it makes it difficult to understand the state of property when you are unable to inspect, however the report Buy Wise gave so much insight and the inspection was of exceptional quality and detail. Best building and pest inspection I have used and would defiantly recommend!

Recently, I purchased a residential property which required a very fast turnaround time due to conditions of purchase. I called Emily who was extremely helpful and was able to accommodated the swift turnaround time. The inspection was professional and highly detailed. They look after you, especially if you've used their services in the past.Definitely recommend for any property purchase :)

We were buying the house for the first time and didn’t want to take any risk. We contacted Buy Wise and they did the inspection on good time.The report was ready at same day. It was very depth report which did help us to make the decision whether we should buy the property or not. I would definitely recommend them to others without any hesitation.

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.

Emily W

06:44 16 Feb 21

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!

David Goodes

22:04 07 Feb 21

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!!

Jacqui Ryan

06:27 04 Feb 21

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.

Jake

06:18 04 Feb 21

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.

Jake Wilson

06:47 13 Sep 20

The inspection by the team at BuyWise was conducted to a very high standard with a quick turnaround. All the staff I dealt with were extremely professional and helpful, whilst the report I received was detailed and easy to read. I would highly recommend BuyWise to anyone seeking their services.

Mushtaq Hussaini

06:31 10 Sep 20

Highly recommend Buy Wise. Both Pest and Building inspection was thoroughly conducted and reported very important issues around the property which needed attention. Definitely recommending to family and friends in future, Thanks for your services :)

We have used Buywise twice in the last 5 years. The quality of their work is fantastic. The reports are detailed and give you the confidence you need in making a very big and expensive decision when buying a new home. Would 100% recommend them.

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.

07:37 11 Jul 20

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.

Jeremy Hamilton

23:45 02 Jul 20

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

Nathaniel Morton

06:44 30 Jun 20

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.

Gabby Holland

04:56 05 Jun 20

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!

Hanna Hosking

00:38 28 May 20

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

Penny Farmer

22:58 17 May 20

Great job! Very thorough and great value.

Krystal de

02:42 09 May 20

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.

Used Buywise for a building and pest inspection in Frankston South. Didn't meet the guys, but Tania was really helpful and detailed in her explanation as to what would be undertaken. Really thorough report also provided. Would recommend and use again.

Hassan Awan

02:54 03 Apr 20

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.

Dan Candy

22:29 19 Mar 20

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.

Carolyn & Nathan Close

00:45 17 Mar 20

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.

Christopher Jack

08:22 11 Mar 20

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

Stuart Simpson

Excellent customer service, prompt completion of report and very detailed.

Dom

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.

Han Weng

22:12 18 Feb 20

Referred and highly recommend by our friends. Now I will do the same. We are impressed with the professionalism and attention to details of the Buy-Wise Inspection technicians and office staff. Objective, timely and detailed report after inspection. We followed up over the phone with a office staff who went through our questions in patience and details. Very reassuring.

Jordan Hughes

23:56 13 Feb 20

Michelle Owens

Helped us find a nice property in Frankston that did not require much work or expense. They also saved us from buying a couple of money pits over the past few months. Detailed reports and prompt service.

Buy Wise were fantasic with getting my building and pest inspection done quickly and thoroughly. They responded to me after hours when I was in a sticky situation having to pull out of a contract and were with me all the way thru the process. Would recommend to anyone. Great service.

Mary Gibbs

08:22 24 Jan 20

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.

We have had four houses inspected by Buy Wise now, because they are so incredibly thorough, friendly, knowledgable and professional. When making such a huge investment, you want to know exactly what you are buying!

Very professional and detailed. We've used the team for two home inspections and both were very thorough and detailed that provided us with the insights needed to make the right choice!

Rang up Monday morning to book an inspection for a prospective property in Mount Eliza. They were on site Tuesday midday with a beagle. The report was available late Tuesday night. I eagerly read the report Wednesday morning and proceeded to purchase the 3048sqm property in Mount Eliza. Very impressed with the reports and advice. Highly recommended.

Peter and Rohan were excellent at what they do and spotted the problem with the house the minute they started the inspection. I wanted to do some renovations on the house and wanted to see if anything needs to be fixed structurally. The reports were very detailed, with actions to take to fix the issue. Would definitely recommend Buy Wise for their professional work! Cheers!

Buy wise conducted a very thorough report for us on a house in frankston we went to auction on. The house looked in good condition but we found out the structure was not as good as we hoped and also had termite damage so the team from buy wise Peter, Jason and beagle Penny helped us set a relistic limit on how much we should max our bid at. Thank you all from the team of buy wise. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to live in a good strong house.

The experience with Peter Tania and the team has been amazing. They are not only very knowledgeable and professional in their jobs, but have been very supportive and patient in answering our questions as first home buyers. The reports provided after the inspections (building and pest) were thorough and easy to understand. Thanks a lot! Definitely will be our go-to person if we ever purchase again in this area!

Peter and Rohan completed our building and pest inspections last week (comprehensive combined with termite detection dog). The reports were very comprehensive and useful for us to understand the areas of the property that needed repair or replacement. Peter was available for a discussion of the building inspection results afterwards to provide clarification where needed (there were no significant pest related issues). Based on the report and the subsequent discussion, we felt very well informed about the state of the property and likely financial liability for maintenance and replacements, and we were confident that we could make the right decision regarding the purchase of the property. We would highly recommend using Buywise.

Do your home work before using this company , they make up a lot of stuff in the reports to justify the price they charge , they pray on the fact that people don't understand about construction.

We had a great experience dealing with the whole Buy Wise team, from the initial bookings, through to detailed reports and being able to speak with the inspectors afterwards to clarify details of the report.Whilst we didn't get the home we were hoping to, our reports from Buy Wise significantly helped us inform our decisions whether to proceed with this property and the areas we would need to look at further. I'd have no hesitation in recommending and using them again!

I booked BuyWise for an inspection on a place in Frankston I was purchasing. I found them to be professional, courteous and very knowledgable; from the staff on the phone to the technicians and engineers themselves. The communication via email and phone was prompt and kept me informed every step of the process - they made it easy. I would use them again in a heartbeat!

Thank you to Belinda and the team at Buy Wise. Super professional to deal with. The inspections were booked quickly, the reports were available within hours and for me they identified some major structural defects in the house I was interested in and saved me some serious headaches.

Why can't I give more than 5 stars. Absolutely brilliant with their service, detailed reporting, appropriate response, timeliness, clarity in communication and going beyond in everything they do.The quality of the report and the detailed suggestions is pretty impressive. To validate what I am saying, the Conveyancer I am working with has seen plenty of these reports and said that its the best (not just one of the best).I wouldn't shy away from recommending them for the inspection services they provide.

We had a building and pest inspection done on a property prior to purchase in Mornington. These guys were really great! They had really good customer service which was prompt and easily available. They did a really thorough inspection in a short turn around time (within 48 hours). The report was very detailed and included lots of photo in the roof, on the roof, the outside and inside the property. We've been able to get some issues with the property fixed up prior to settlement due to this report which has saved us on trades already. And it's actually really handy just to see what maintenance tasks we need to prioritize after purchasing the property. Highly recommend this company.

Buy Wise were great! We were well looked after by Belinda, who in all our interactions was personable, articulate and prompt in all responses. As a first time home buyer, going through this new process, it gave me confidence. Peter and Rohan's reports were also really straight forward and clear about what was and wasn't covered with sound recommendations and suggestions for each of their findings. I will definitely use them again.

I couldn’t be happier with the service from the team at Buywise! I spent hours trawling the internet to find a licensed building inspector and ended up with a total dud who spent about half hour there with no tools and refused to even look under the house... unfortunately, the building inspection industry is unregulated and there are a lot of unlicensed charlatans out there ready to rip you for what is easily the biggest purchase you will ever make in your lifetime... After my horrible experience, my sister suggested I give Bel a call at Buywise and she took care of everything from there. Peter and Rohan came out with their sniffer beagle Penny and did the most thorough job - they were there for almost three hours combing through the entire place, explaining things along the way. They were absolutely fantastic! And because of their comprehensive report and approximate price guide to bring the property up to scratch, I managed to purchase my home for $50K less than the asking price! Happily recommend this business to anyone. Thanks again!

This is the third inspection we've had done by Buy Wise Inspections and every time we have been very impressed with the service from the moment you call them to getting a comprehensive report with pictures where it is clear the inspection has been very thorough. The agent mentioned that Buy Wise is also great to deal with from their side. Highly recommend them.

Lisa Jane

07:43 01 Apr 19

My partner and I were very happy with the professional service provided by Buy Wise. We had both a building inspection and pest inspection done on a property we were about to purchase. We also paid a small amount extra to have one of their sniffer dogs present at the inspections to give their expert opinion as well! We were provided with full reports with photos outlining the outcome of the inspections. While there were minimal issues with the property, it was well worth getting the inspections done for peace of mind. I'd definitely recommend Buy Wise to any one.

Ross Tailby

07:39 20 Mar 19

Both Peter and Rohan were excellent; very professional, and gave us a fantastic explanation and run-through of the issues they had found with the property. They were able to give us enough information and advice on the day of inspection to enable us to make the decision regarding whether to proceed. The reports were ready in less than 24 hours, full of photos and detailed, easy-to-understand information.I would have no hesitation in contacting Buy Wise again for any building or pest inspections

From the moment Belinda picked up the phone, we felt looked after. Peter and Rohan were very professional and thoroughly inspected the home. Peter provided us with sound advice and next steps to consider. The report was provided to us within 24 hours and had all the details we needed to make a decision on purchasing the home. Belinda followed this up with a phone call to make sure we understood everything on the report and gave us extra tips for consideration.All in all, we are extremely satisfied with their service and would recommend them to anyone looking for a building inspector.

I just used Buy wise to inspect a property i purchased under clause Building and Pest. I am so grateful i did, because of how thorough they were, i was able to negotiate the price because of the issues i would not have otherwise known about before too late and after paying full price.Not only are they thorough, they took every phone call and answered every question and directed me to the right places for the right advice.The customer service is impeccable before AND after the fact.HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! and "Belle" is INCREDIBLE and so supportive in what was such a stressful time.I can not rav highly enough!

Over the past month we have used Buywise twice. On both occasions we found the reports provided to be thorough.Money well spent as the first inspection saved us from buying a home that would have needed up to $70, 000 worth of repairs in order to replace decaying flooring! Inspector phoned personally that evening to inform us of the problem.Second time round we were satisfied with the details of the report and ended up buying the property.All staff are friendly and professional. Thanks Buywise for helping us make an informative stress free decision in buying a house.

The review was fantastic. It was so helpful and pointed out some really crucial areas, which in the end, made us decide not to buy. I think if we had gone ahead we would have been up for some hefty bills. The review was thorough and made very helpful suggestions. I will definitely recommend your company. In fact when my daughter bought a few years ago she used your services and gave us the recommendation. Thank you once again.

During my house-hunting process, I have used Buy Wise on two different occasions for pre-purchase building and pest inspections. Both times, I have received excellent customer service and prompt e-mail responses to my enquiries. Additionally, the team have been extremely accommodating to the time frames in which I needed the inspections to be completed. I can't recommend Buy Wise highly enough and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Extremely disappointed with the Inspection Report I was provided.The summary advises minor movement to the concrete slab. Then further down the page it tells me 40 - 50mm movement and a Major Structural Defect undetermined on the slab.Very confusing!Dean contacted me to discuss the movement of the house which didn't help, as it seemed to instill fear and panic that made me feel I should opt out of buying the house.It's now been three weeks and I'm still awaiting a call back from Dean, which I'm assuming will never happen.My experience with Buywise has been very negative, confusing and stressful.Update 19/10/2017Thanks Peter for taking the time to clarify on some of the issues with the report. I did receive a call from a man named Peter but he didn't advise what company he was calling from.As follows , Dean placed in the summary report :Minor movement was noted to concrete slab as hair line cracks were visible to floor tiles in areas, these should be monitored and may require an evaluation by a structural engineer to determine the likelihood of further movement.Than further down the page he comments:Slab was visibly out of level at time of inspection, it would be estimated to be between 40 and 50mm , sloping towards front left of dwelling.There's no pictures of this being measured and from what angle of the house, just to the left. So is it minor or 50mm out?I did chat to Dean twice in relation to the slab, as he wouldn't give me a straight answer after leaving on the report: Major Structural Defect undetermined.I asked him a few questions and he was going to follow up with his boss and call me in a timely manner but never did.

Fantastic customer service, Very detailed reports.I've had Buy Wise conduct structural building, and pest reports on 2 properties in the last few months.We pulled out of the purchase for the first property because of major issues found in the inspection. Which has saved us a massive amount of time and money that would have been spend on repairs.The estate agent also told us they are too detailed and he would not allow us to use them again to inspect any of his properties!!!Would recommend them to anyone!

I was recommended by my cousins to use Buy Wise to inspect a new property. I phoned them and it was like talking to people I have always known. The friendliness over the phone was amazing. I got the job done and the reports very quickly. I am so impressed. I also spoke to one of the Inspectors (Ben). He immediately helped me with my small query regarding a file they had sent. Try them and you wont be disappointed.
