Customer Reviews
"iSPECT was recommended to me by my conveyancer for my building and pest inspection. Not only did they come up as the most affordable option by hundreds of dollars, but their customer service and communication prior to the inspection was fantastic. Victor, the inspector, was extremely friendly, informative, and punctual, and took the time to step me through his recommendations for the property with care. Thank you for such a seamless experience, iSPECT!"
"Best in inspection and reliable"
"iSpect did an amazing thorough report on the property we?ve just purchased. The report was filled out with great detail and had good recommendations. They were able to do the inspection at short notice, they were great with communication and reasonably priced. Highly recommend."
"Hamza was very diligent and helpful in determining the purchase. His and Ispect's experience, and prompt communication helped us to cancel a deal within the cooling off period, saving us subtantial money."
