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

As an Interstate investor, I rely so much on the good building inspector to find any defects related to the property.

Andrew has provided me a great service with reasonable price. His attention to details and also quality works that he produce is really beyond expectations.

I thank him for the great service that he provides to me for this property inspection in such a short notice but highly detailed.

Approximate cost: $545

Andrew is brilliant. Have had a few inspections done through him. He goes the extra mile and spends the time to answer any questions you have- even the really basic questions for the person who has no idea about buildings/construction and doesn't make you feel silly. Very thorough and glad to have found him. He gets referred to all our friends.

Andrew completed a house inspection for us that identified major problems and led to us not buying. We were so impressed with how thorough he was that we used him again when we made an offer on another property which we bought. The price seemed expensive initially but the quality of the interaction, the detailed feedback during and after the site visit made it all worth the cost. We feel we have saved far more than we paid by having really detailed information on which to base our decision. Buying a house is expensive and the cost of the building inspection a very small part so worth paying to get top service. When we next buy we will definitely use Action Property Inspections again.

We had an inspection done for a property we wished to purchase. Andrew was very thorough, his communication was great and the property report produced was very comprehensive, enabling us to negotiate a better price with the vendor, as well as giving us a heads-up on what would need our attention in the future. Money well spent.

This is an "A" rated business. Even though it was days before Christmas and it was the inspectors birthday that day he gave 100%! He was early to the job and totally professional. The inspection saved us from making a huge financial mistake and investment. When in need of a building inspection again we will be employing Action for total peace of mind!

This is the second pre purchase house inspection Andrew has performed for our family and each time he has found faults we did not see which has allowed us to cancel the contracts saving us a lot of expensive repairs down the track. Money well spent I believe. We are looking for house number 3 for Andrew to inspect. Read the other reviews as they say it all.

House number 3 was found and Andrew turned up at the allotted time and in a friendly and professional manner conducted the inspection. Finding only minor faults we take possession of this house in November. A 51 page report with photos was emailed the next day. He even gave us a discount off his bill, thanks Andrew. We would also recommend his pest inspection friend, Ryan Fitzgerald.

Prepurchase house inspection. On-time, professional, thorough, honest. Money very well spent. We have every confidence in Andrew and will certainly use him again. Very happy with his pest inspection partner also.

Andrew performed a pre-purchase building inspection for me. He was incredibly professional and very amiable. The report arrived the same night and was very comprehensive and he spent time answering all my follow up questions. I highly recommend Andrew.

Thanks so much for taking the time to review Action Property Inspections, it is very much appreciated. We are always available to answer any building inspection questions you may have. Some of our clients phone us years after the inspection to ask further questions. Once a client of Action Property Inspections, we are available for phone advice for life!

I had a pre purchase building inspection with Action Property Inspections and it was excellent!!!

The first thing you gotta know is that Andrew does all the inspections himself, so it gets booked out pretty quick. He arrived on time to the appointment and performed a very thorough inspection of all the house, the roof, inside the ceiling, wardrobes, he seriously checked everything. It was very informative along the way, explained to me every single detail and gave me advise in how to fix the issues he found.

His experience in the industry shows itself and on top of that he is a very nice and professional guy.

The report was emailed the same night, and it was an excellent report, very detailed, explanatory, with pictures and even some recommended additional documents to read.

The price I found it to be very good value for money. Believe me, you don't want to be cheap when you're buying something of around half a million dollars.

Overall, I would recommend Action Property Inspections to everyone and I will definitely use them again in the future.

Approximate cost: $450
