$600 building inspection saved me $ 600000 in heartache. The biggest ever thank you to Mike. I recently viewed an older weatherboard property presented beautifully on a realestate website and immediately fell in love with it. It seemed to be just what I was looking for back in Victoria. I couldn't look at the property myself living in the NT and the home was for auction. I engaged in negotiations with the agent to purchase before auction and settled on an agreeable price subject to a building /pest inspection. I chose Mike from a general google search, received a very reasonable quote for service, almost immediately and a follow up text message the same day. I spoke to him directly explaining my situation, I live interstate, I want the property as a rental for 2 years and then to resettle and live in it and I needed the inspection immediately to have the property taken off the market for my sole purchase. He gave me excellent advice pre any contract signing for the property, reassured me he would be doing an extensive check knowing I wanted to tenant it, organised with the agent to do the inspection the following day, rang me immediately post inspection with a detailed verbal report in easily comprehended terms and then provided an extensive written report with corresponding photographs that same evening. Fortunately I was able to withdraw immediately from what would have been a disastrous purchase and notify my conveyancer of the same ( saving me further expense). Mikes expertise was obvious, communication timely and honest and advice sound. His professional standards are to be applauded and I would recommend without hesitation that he be used as a valuable asset in the lead up to any property purchase. Thanks again Mike.
