Northern House Inspections

Mike handled our pre-purchase building and pest inspection. The service he provided was outstanding. Not only was the report thorough and detailed with professional insights, but he also managed to fit us in quickly despite being a short notice. He even gave me a call right after the inspection to walk me through the key findings. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mike to friends and family – truly a great experience.

Mike was quick to respond and conduct the inspections with great professionalism.

Mike (Michael) at Northern House Inspections exceeded expectations! From the initial communication, articulating the process of what a combined building and timber pest inspection entails and his willingness to help us meet tight deadlines, he made the process an ease. His clear professionalism shone through at all times. The report was explained in detail both over the phone and in the written report, in terms that even a new potential home buyer could understand, which was extremely appreciated especially when navigating the complexities of contract requirements. 10/10 would recommend!

We were very impressed to be in contact with Michael again as he had previously looked at another property for us during Covid-19 times. He was able to arrange an inspection within 2 days of speaking with us. The report was very extensive and favourable towards what we were hoping for. As we know a brand new build can have so many defects. Fortunately this 2 year home we have now purchased was well built and issue free. Thank you to Michael for the time to inspect the home for us.

We have utilised Mike's expertise a number of times now and highly recommend and commend his services. Timely, efficient and professional on all occasions. Verbal report on the day, next day written a report. Tells it like it is and doesn't sugar-coat. Thanks again, Mike

As a First Home Buyer, Michael was so helpful and made the inspection process easy.
We faced some challanges with tenats and a 50 Year Old Unit, but Michael was very thorough and ensured I understood everything that was mentioned in the report.

I used Northern House Inspections for a building and pest inspection at a property I purchased in Bundoora and was very impressed with their service. Their reports were thorough and easy to read. They included lots of pictures and many recommendations. Even before engaging their inspection services, Mike kindly gave me much advice about common problems to look out for when buying a property. I highly recommend this company and will happily use them again.

My wife and I couldn't recommend Michael any higher. He came out and inspected our house after settlement and provided a thorough building and pest inspection. As we had already purchased the property and had the keys, Michael was able to walk us through the building once he had completed the inspections and discuss each issue in detail including solutions/recommendations. Every interaction with Michael has been a joy, he is professional with great communication skills. Stop looking and ring Michael now!

Honest, reliable and trustworthy.

Mike did a very thorough building and pest inspection report on the house we are buying and made himself available for a detailed discussion which helped identify the small jobs needed to bring the house back to the level we will want once we move in. His advice was extremely useful to us. While we hope not to need to use him again we would highly recommend him to others going through the process of buying a house and needing an inspection.

I had Mike out to inspect my first property purchase. He's very easy to deal with, and let me know exactly what's going to happen and when.
He talked me through the defects he found, and recommended ways to fix them. He even pointed out things that could become problems in the future, which I found really useful as a first time buyer.
The written report I received was very thorough, without being nit picky.
I was stressing out about the purchase, but Mike helped put my mind at ease. Worth the money just for that!
Highly recommend

Mike was great and prompt and detailed report. with lots of photos we use again in a heart beat

cheers Mike

Mike was a pleasure to deal with and had time to verbally explain the key things to look out for and monitor in the report. I was impressed with the quality of the report and detail it captured. Would definitely recommend Mike.
