Being a first time home buyer is daunting enough, but House Spy Bulding Inspections significantly reduced our anxieties and gave us confidence in the purchasing process by providing a comprehensive and thorough report on properties we were interested in.
As many before us have found, costs associated with a property can be hidden or not easily picked up by the untrained eye. Making use of House Spy's significant experience we felt our eyes were wide open to any work that may await us after the purchase and therefore we were able to make informed decisions about how much we were willing to spend on potential homes. This gave us peace of mind when bidding at our first auction, where we could have easily been pressured into spending our entire budget. Instead we could, with a degree of certainty, decide how much we were willing to outlay prior to the auction and stick to this.
The house we eventually purchased appeared to be one of those ‘good finds’, but this meant that we had an extremely competitive and time sensitive situation. Once again Robert provided exceptional customer service and was able to conduct an inspection within 24 hours of us deciding to move forward. His fabulous communication and time management skills made everything so simple and let us focus instead on the stresses of lawyers and financial institutions. The agent providing access to the property also remarked on his efficiency.
We found the report received for each of the properties to be extremely easy to understand (even for the novice). It covered all aspects of the building from structural, plumbing and electrical to information on possible damp areas or leaks. Since moving into our home we have also found the report to be useful as a tool for planning maintenance and renovations. We can highly recommend the high quality service provided by House Spy Bulding Inspections .
Robert and Anja, thank you so much for helping to alleviate some of the stress from the purchase of our new home – a very special time for our growing family. We will definitely be in touch when we are ready for the next one!
Best regards,
Mark Chapple & Danielle Knightly
