We are interstate and on a short timeline. We did not know where to start with finding an inspection company. Thank goodness we found Patrick! He was prompt, thorough, and very competitively priced. The report was detailed, concise and showed us parts of the house we had not even thought to look at during our own inspections. That’s the thing with buying houses – so much of our decision making is based on emotional factors and we tend to forget the practical. If you would not buy a second hand car without having it looked over by a specialist, why on earth would you trust the largest asset you have based only on external appearances? Most of us see a place only once or twice before that offer goes in. Thank you so much Patrick. We can go forward now knowing there are no nasty and expensive surprises waiting for us in our new place.
Much appreciated,
Kerryn and Lindsay – Tallarook

The service we received was exceptional. The depth and detail in the report was as expected for our needs. The communication levels and turnaround for the pest and building inspection were excellent. I will not hesitate in using PAD inspections should we require this service again.
