"John did a pre purchase inspection of a property for us. He was very thorough with his inspection and report. He was also very accessible on the phone to provide us with very knowledgeable explainations on some of the critical findings in the report. We would definitely use him again."

"John was my project manager when I undertook house repairs. Without his knowledge and firm handling of the builders, I would have been like a lamb to the slaughter. He carefully inspected the work and when it was not up to standard, he dealt directly with them to sort out problems. It was a stressful experience and I truly don't know what the outcome would have been without John."

"Couldn’t recommend John enough. He was incredibly thorough with the inspection and genuinely went above and beyond, including helping me trawl through 100+ documents to confirm specific consents, which made a huge difference for us. Super knowledgeable, patient, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. We felt really well supported throughout the whole process."

"Appreciate John's inspection. Speedy turnaround, picked up a couple of pretty important issues that we could then have dealt with pre-settlement, and also pointed out a few smaller items (that we probably wouldn't have otherwise noticed) that we can treat as 'work on's' once we get in. Great service."

We make assumptions on new builds, but it was 100% worth the effort of getting John's expert eye and a lucky catch for me. John had come highly recommended by a friend who had used John's services for COA work, I am now a big fan and would/will use John's services again. Thanks again John, you are amazing."

He was able to accommodate my request at short notice, and the report he provided was very thorough and easy to understand.
John also made himself available to have follow up conversations with me to discuss any concerns I had in greater detail, which was really appreciated.

John's responsiveness, insights, and friendly, knowledgeable advice gave me the comfort I needed when contemplating such a large purchase.

Thank you John, I'll certainly call on your services again in future should I need them, and would recommend you to all my friends."

He was able to complete the inspection at short notice (the next day), which was great as we only had a 5-day window before our unconditional date.

He sent through an email outlining the findings of his inspection, as well as a full set of photos. The report was comprehensive and specific, and meant that we were able to make an informed decision about the house.

I also spent 15 minutes on the phone with John as I asked about some specific areas regarding some of the defects he identified, which was invaluable.

We've used John prior to two house purchases and would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a thorough, honest inspection that you can rely on."

John has been extremely honest, effective and professional towards inspecting the house and producing the report. The building report majorly assisted us for finalising our decision to purchase the property. The report was accurately detailed regarding the state of the house. There were no errors found. And was overall a clear and professional building report. John himself was efficient and very skillful when inspecting the the house. We would most definitely return to this company in future as we were very pleased with the report and highly recommend this company for all."

"John did a great job of inspecting the property, I was impressed with his knowledge of the building systems used.

Without such a detailed report I may have purchased and ended up spending many thousands of dollars to repair the property."

"i found buysafe inspections to be very helpful in our process of buying a house. They went through the problems on site with us in detail and quickly prepared a report. This was an invaluable service saving us a few thousand dollars of repairs that the owner agreed to fix. These were all problems picked up from Johns report.
I cant recommend then more highly."

"We\'ve been using buysafe home inspections for about a year and a half to do 7 different property inspections (both written and verbal). Have found John highly professional, very easy to relate to, and an excellent communicator. John is on time to all appointments. He is flexible and accommodating on inspection times and has turned around one inspection at short notice (within 24hrs on a weekend). Excellent reports, turned around quickly that have good descriptions of problems, referrals, pictures, and John makes himself available for any follow up. Thoroughly recommend John and buysafe home inspections."

"Very prompt service with clear reports emailed on the day of inspection. We used Buysafe Homes several times as we went through the frustration of the Auckland auction system but at least John made it easy for us to know what we would be letting ourselves in for with maintenance. He also was very prompt responding to queries and even took specific photos when we had areas we wanted covered in his inspection. We would highly recommend them."

"friends recommended Buysafe Home Inspections as we are so happy they did. We are based in Australia and were placing a lot of reliance on the building report and John went above and beyond to assist us. Not only did we receive a comprehensive report but John also had an in-depth conversation with us, talking us through the issues he had highlighted, what it meant for us as vendors and provided recommendations for next actions. I will definitely be recommending them to friends and using them again when we next purchase."

He was very friendly, very helpful and the reports were received very quickly after the inspections.

Thanks."

"John was extremely helpful and would absolutely recommend him for prepurchase inspections. We needed a prepurchase building inspection on a house within 24 hours - and it was the weekend. After ringing lots of places we found John and despite being very busy he agreed to help us out. He was very thorough (becauase of time constraints he did a verbal inspection but this worked well as i took notes as he went around the house). Competitively priced compared to others and he didnt skimp on checking everything out for us."

★★★★★

John is very prompt and writes a detailed building report within a fast turnaround. I called him at the last minute and he was able to do my inspection and write up a detailed and technical report on the same day. He was very friendly and even helped me with other recommendations of how issues could be fixed. I thoroughly recommend John to those looking for quality work.

Couldn’t recommend John enough. He was incredibly thorough with the inspection and genuinely went above and beyond, including helping me trawl through 100+ documents to confirm specific consents, which made a huge difference for us. Super knowledgeable, patient, and an absolute pleasure to deal with. We felt really well supported throughout the whole process.

John is wonderful to work with. He’s diligent, responsive, and thorough. John has given us so much helpful advice and certainty with our house buying journey, and we would absolutely recommend him.

David Chieng 10 months ago

John has been invaluable as our go-to man for pre-purchase building inspections. He is able to leverage his significant industry knowledge + experience to comprehensively assess and daylight key areas of risk & concern. His report deliverable provided me with the level of detail required to make an informed decision on a property of interest. I've referred his services to my friends & family members and will continue to draw upon his expertise as required going forward.

★★★★☆

John at Buysafe provided a good, reliable service. He provided a comprehensive report on the condition of the property, excluding electrical and plumbing. The report highlighted areas for remediation and/or where further specialist investigation may be warranted. I am happy to recommend Buysafe for property inspections.
