I was so impressed with Bear Bottom from the first call - so knowledgable, switched on, friendly, responsive and importantly, great communicators. We were considering a house we knew needed a lot of work and had a fair idea of what was required so weren't sure whether we needed an inspection but as soon as I spoke to Andy on the phone I knew it was going to be a good investment. Having an educated estimate of exactly what work was required (we were right on some elements but not all) and how much time and budget it would take was critical for determining our maximum price and meant we felt really confident with our plans come auction day. John was brilliant, turned up 30 mins early and already had get started on assessing the exterior of the house. He then spent a further 1.5hrs thoroughly going through the property, explaining everything he saw and helpfully going through my many questions and ideas. I would highly recommend Bear Bottom and will certainly use them again, it certainly turned out to be money very well spent.

Very responsive In undertaking the work at short notice.They were also extremely generous in the extra time they took to discuss the report so that I had a good understanding of the issues and possible scopes of work and repairs. Great people.

I had a recent inspection which was very satisfactory & good communication thank you. Will be using Bear Bottom again soon.

I recently acquired Bear Bottom Building and Pest inspections services just prior to a property auction I was attending. My overall experience with this company was highly satisfying; with a prompt turn around at short notice, professional detailed reports and excellent communication throughout. I would recommend them without any hesitation whatsoever.

The team at Bear Bottom were able to accomodate our last minute request to conduct an inspection. John was great to deal with and answered all our questions. The follow up from Andy was equally as good. Reports were sent promptly.

We were very impressed by the superbly swift turnaround and professional approach - we received comprehensive reports the same day we requested an inspection, which revealed some significant issues, including the need for waterproofing. The inspector, John, patiently discussed the key findings with me and shared his insights regarding potential repair costs. We now feel that we can head to the auction well-informed.

Approximate cost: $595

Thanks very much for the inspection. We loved the house and were quite excited to bid this weekend. That being said we had absolutely no idea about any of the structural issues. After carefully considering what we’d be prepared to bid for the house knowing some ballpark repair and maintenance costs we’ve decided not to bid this weekend. Sara and I are really glad we got a building and pest inspection with Bear Bottom Inspections.

Thank you so much for your assistance with this.

John was really helpful and was able to help us with almost all of our queries :) Absolute Gentleman :)

Hopefully, if we are successful at the auction this weekend, we will get in touch with you to rectify the issues we found.

This is the second time I’ve used the service and it’s been fantastic.

I spoke directly with Inspectors from Bear Bottom and they were fantastic – provided a lot of detail and helped answer any questions

I would definitely recommend this service to family and friends.

John was excellent and very kind to explain the issues he found with me there. He also got there early and had done the external areas before I arrived. Will certainly recommend you guys to friends!
