Above and beyond

I highly highly highly recommend Joe for their exceptional pre-purchase building report. Their attention to detail was absolutely outstanding!!! Their analysis left no stone unturned and they saved us big time by finding major damage to the structure of a building we had just bought, when others had missed it. The report was comprehensive, insightful, and instrumental in our decision-making process. A true professional who exceeded our expectations. We wouldn't trust anyone else :) he is also extremely personable, reassuring, and all around great! You can't go wrong with hiring him.

I recently had Joe do a building inspection on a new build, he was incredibly thorough throughout the process, and we were so pleased with the outcome. Joe and the team were fantastic to deal with throughout the process. Could not recommend them enough!

I booked my first house inspection with MPI in late 2016 and ended up booking 7 in total. Cathy supported the entire process by booking inspections directly with real estate agents, letting me know when the inspection would be done and replying to any general queries that I had. Joe was one of the few inspectors that actually referenced the appropriate Australian Standards. I found the photos in the report useful as they provided objective evidence of what had been observed. The reports help us set realistic limits at auctions as we knew what work was required on the property we were bidding for - we walked away from a number of properties without regret. Joe developed an understanding of what kind of property we were looking for and what work we could realistically do on a property. There were some minor delays with written reports but Joe always provided a verbal summary and renegotiated completion of the written report within our requirements. Three agents commented to me upon the thoroughness of the inspections they observed. We felt confident with our eventual purchase. We recommend MPI to others for pre-purchase inspections and will use MPI to assist us with ongoing review of our family home.

We had Joe come and look at a property that we were looking at buying. The owners were a bit odd but Joe was so good at helping us with some valuable feedback that helped us set the price we offered. Very helpful and communicative I would highly recommend Melbourne Property Inspections.

Approximate cost: $660

We got Joe to inspect 2 properties for us. He was available on short notice and the report was really thorough. He was someone we felt we could trust which is important when your spending $500,000. The report is also reasonably priced.

I had never used an inspection service before and now wish i had. Joe found a number of defects including a fairly major one in a new apartment i was about to settle on and i know i would not have picked those faults up myself. the developer has since rectified all those faults so really happy and Joe and the report was very professional and personable.

Approximate cost: $440

A huge thank you to Jo, Cathy and the team for for working so hard to get a property report to me in extremely tight timeframe.
I appreciate all your efforts which have saved me a mountain of stress and money. I have decided not to proceed with the sale therefore I will see you on the next job.
Warmest Regards

We engaged Joe to perform pest/building inspections for 2 properties we were considering to purchase. The reports were very thorough and well supported by photos. Joe took the time to explain everything (and answer our many questions!). As a result we felt well informed and confident in the decisions we made. Money well spent. Highly recommended!

Thanks for taking the time to provide some feedback Julie. I know you are a very busy person. Looking forward to dealing with you in the future.

I engaged the services to inspect a large 7 unit investment block in Essendon. We received a Pest Inspection and Building Inspection. Upon the report we decided that the property would have cost too much to fix so we pulled out of the purchase. Enlisting Melbourne Property Inspections definitely saved us a lot of heartache and money. They were fast, efficient, thorough and honest.

Approximate cost: $1200

Hi Amy, certainly an expensive task at hand for the purchaser of this one!

I have used Joe to inspect my new home during my construction stages. He has been fantastic and thorough. His reports are very clear. All I had to do is to hand the reports to my builder and they fixed the defects without asking any questions. As this is our first building experience, I had a lot of questions and Joe went over and beyond to answer all my questions and gave me advice. I would definitely recommend Joe to anyone.

Thanks Brian, I hope the landscaping costs came in at a reasonable price as they did mention it would be an expensive job. Good luck with it!
