We are first home buyers and were very keen to get a building inspector who wasn't afraid to call things as they were, which was what drew us to API. Andrew's first availability was a week later (we can see now why he's so popular!), so we nervously awaited the big day. His services were very much worth the wait - we couldn't have hoped for a more thorough, frank, and friendly inspection. Andrew explained everything in simple terms without making us feel stupid, the final report (which we received around 12 hours later - we've waited longer for one line emails from other parties in the house-buying process!) was comprehensive and still easy to understand, and we ended up negotiating almost 2% off the sale price based on the items he'd classified as needing immediate attention. We are still novices in the real estate game, but allowing sufficient time in the conditions of the contract to get our pick of building inspectors was hands down one of the best decisions we made in the whole process. Couldn't recommend API enough - thank you so much!

Approximate cost: $585
