I was a little worried about getting a building and pest inspection and whether it would be worth the money etc. I was extremely happy with the level of detail that went into the building and pest report. It was well and truly above my expectations and any questions I had after in regards to further details they were more than happy to answer the questions. Overall I recommend using this business 100%

Bahman Jamshidi
I recently had a building and pest inspection completed for my property in Bargara, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I made during the purchasing process.

Robert, the inspector, was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. He is not only highly professional and extremely knowledgeable, but also a genuinely kind and approachable person. From the moment we met, he made me feel comfortable and took the time to walk me through the entire process. He explained everything in clear, simple terms and patiently answered all my questions, no matter how small. It’s rare to find someone who combines technical expertise with such a friendly and respectful attitude.

What really impressed me the most was his incredible attention to detail and the thoroughness of his inspection. Robert didn’t just look at the obvious areas—he went deep into the property and identified several hidden issues that I would have never noticed myself. These were not minor findings either; they were important defects that had a real impact on the property’s value.

Thanks to his detailed report and clear explanations, I was able to use his findings during negotiations and successfully secure a $5,000 reduction in the purchase price. That alone made the inspection more than worthwhile and truly highlights the value of having a skilled and diligent inspector like Robert on your side.

The final report was comprehensive, well-organized, and delivered promptly. It gave me complete confidence in understanding the true condition of the property and helped me make an informed decision without any uncertainty.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Local Building and Pest Inspection. Robert went above and beyond in every aspect, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and thorough inspection service.

Thank you again, Robert, for your excellent work and for making such a meaningful difference in my property purchase!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review, Bahman! We're overjoyed to hear that Robert made such a positive impact on your property purchase in Bargara. Helping clients feel comfortable and informed every step of the way is exactly what we're all about, so it's wonderful to know he delivered that in spades! We're especially thrilled that his thoroughness and attention to detail uncovered those hidden issues and helped you secure a $5,000 reduction - that's a fantastic result! We'll make sure Robert sees your lovely words, feedback like this truly means everything to our team. Thank you for trusting us with such an important decision and congratulations on your new property! 😊
