"I highly recommend Phil from Cornerstone Property Inspection. Excellent communication and a smooth experience from start to finish. Phil identified concerns with the house that other inspectors had missed. He sent a document with photos which clearly brought to light both major and minor issues. This allowed us to see what was urgently needing attention as well as minor things to look into once the property was in our hands. He demonstrates integrity, professionalism and expertise in his field"

"I highly rate Cornerstone Property Inspections. Phil has great knowledge and a real attention to detail. I have used his services twice now and have found his reports to be more thorough than others. On one occasion he was able to point out issues another builder didn't and that could have been really costly had I proceeded with the purchase."

"First home buyer, muddling around everything as it’s not an easy process especially when you also busy with work. So many doubts and confusions about the quality of the house, found Phil, first phone call made me feel that this is the person I exactly wanted to have my future dwelling checked. Phil was professional and on time, what a neat person!! That’s how you feel when you see his very detailed report! You feel he is like a trustworthy friend who helps you to check out your house!!! Even it’s a new house, he went above and beyond to get his job done. Very impressive! Definitely the guy if you need a thorough check for your future home. I rarely write any comment for anyone, but highly recommend Phil if you need house inspection! Will absolutely recommend him to my friends if needed without any doubts!"

"After asking an agent if they had any recommendations towards a building inspector or builder I was told that was unethical for them to suggest but they did recommend 'No Cowboys' as a reliable, solid, peer reviewed service.

After all my cross checking was complete on the No Cowboys site Phil @ Cornerstone Property Inspection Services LTD seemed to hands down be the best option & by far in wide he certainly was (a week later I chatted with the same agent whom commended our choice & was whom they would have suggested).

We worked with Phil until we finally found our new home. What took a grueling long year & a half thanks to the Covid19 madness we viewed many places & Phil became an integral factor in all our decision making along the way.

Phil is an absolute wealth of knowledge of most styles & time period applications.
Not once did he say to me "..Luke, I don't know". He always took the time to explain & answer my silly questions and was always so very thorough which allowed my wife & I to make quick on the spot deal making & breaking decisions when time was ticking for pre auction offers or pulling the pin last minute.

As the mental fatigue began setting in a year down the track, feeling like we were quickly becoming priced out of a market, Phil helped us realize on a couple of the places that a rash decision could end in expensive restoration.

Understanding this at a time when we were starting to fade during the whole process helped us to remove the emotion from the equation & be more rational for which we are eternally grateful for & most likely wouldn't be in the house we just bought but hemorrhaging cash on hidden sins on something that seemed like it would do.

Phil was punctual, affordable & best of all although we only paid for cheaper verbal breakdown options along the course of our home hunt, the minute we purchased, for a small fee we were able to gain a full comprehensive breakdown in writing with all photos included of everything he documented at the inspection which has become our full warrant of fitness of our new home & also a to do list of the little things Phil has spotted along the way which is absolutely priceless!!!

We appreciated Phil's non judgemental, Professional help & respected his honest opinions which I found myself asking him for more & more but ultimately we new the decision came down to my wife & I doing the best research we could (but Phil was always right haha) & would 100% recommend Phil anywhere, anytime!! If this was Trademe it would definitely be a AAA+ would trade again from us haha

Thanks so much Phil, you're a bloody legend mate!"

After getting the first property inspection, I went from definitely going to buy the house, to not touching it after Phil's work revealed major moisture issues. The second house inspection resulted in a successful purchase! So while I won't be using Phil's services for a while, I can highly recommend him. He is prompt, knowledgeable, detailed and straight up. Turn around time on both reports were required urgently and he delivered on time. Phil also took the time for further phone calls to discuss particular issues in more detail. An excellent service."

"Another great inspection. The report gave us the information we needed to go into negotiations with our eyes wide open and base our pricing on facts not just what we could see through "rose tinted glasses".
Last time we had Phil do an inspection we used the report as a "to do" list of things that needed to bo done. This meant that we could negotiate bundles of pricing with tradies and save money instead of getting the work carried out as we discovered that it needed attending to.
This time we did not complete the sale as we needed to keep a small pot of money to attend to some issues. If we had not been aware of them (thanks Phil) we would have had to find extra money to get the repairs carried out. Vendor was not realistic.
We will use Cornerstone before every house purchase!!
You would pay $100 plus for an inspection on on a 10 or 20 k car why wouldn't you pay for an inspection on a big investment like a house. It's a no brainer.

"Buying a home can be stressful especially in Auckland where the leaky home situation is more prevalent than other areas of the country. I engaged Phil to do an inspection for me and I am very thankful that I did. Confident with his ability and service I engaged Phil a second time and again he went over the next property in a detailed methodical process. This time we went through and purchased the property. Phil is very thorough when conducting an inspection and upon completion supplies a written report if that is the desired inspection option. He potentially saved me thousands of dollars and stress highlighting future issues in the first property and for that I am eternally grateful. All things being equal my wife and I will be in our new home for some time but when it is time to move on Phil will be the first person to contact when checking out the next property. Thank you Phil, I wish you all the best. Kindest regards, Dave Wells."

"I cannot recommend Phil's work enough. He's quick to respond, efficient, professional, comprehensive, and works well with the agents, and property owner, on my behalf. Recently he assessed a house for me while the owner and her builders were on site. He promptly explained to them how he was going to work, undertook to explain he would be taking photos, and was generally very reassuring to an otherwise nervous owner. His reports have provided just what we needed to understand the level of work required to bring the house into working order, and provided a hierarchy of risks based on urgency. This all informed whether we wanted to buy the property or not, and how much we would need to put aside for repairs. Great work."

"We have been in the Property Market madness this year, as we are downsizing from our family home.
I found this company by internet searching of a few websites. I first needed a Third Party Report(Safe & Sanitary), for our existing property.
Phil was prompt and professional with all communications. The Service Options and related Costings were clearly specified in the written quotes. He was very knowledgeable, and thorough during the On-Site Inspection. He was very easy to talk to, and patient when I needed him to clarify anything into more simpler terms (I am not practically minded at all !) CORNERSTONE was my immediate company to return to, when as a Potential Buyer I needed Pre-Purchase Building Inspections. In our home search, Phil has provided two Premium Property Inspection Reports for us. I would thoroughly recommend paying that bit extra for the Premium Report. I also got hard-copies as well. The thorough scrutiny of a detailed inspection by such an experienced professional has enabled us to 1/ "dodge a bullet" of buying a home that would suit someone who wants to sort out lots of issues (not for us at this stage of our lives!) that needed urgent attention, and 2/ successfully purchase at Auction a wonderful home that we could confidently bid on with the realistic knowledge of it's value obtained from the CORNERSTONE report.

On site he was personable, yet professional and completed his work in a timely manner. He didn't hesitate to speak frankly, and openly about the condition of the property and demonstrated an incredibly in-depth knowledge. He was even open to a phonecall after the fact to provide further advice and feedback once all the information had time to sink in. If/when we looked to buy our next property, we won't hesitate to call. Thanks Phil!"

"Very competent and thorough.
My wife and I have used Cornerstone for building reports on 6 properties in Auckland spread over 2013-2016. We ended up buying 2 properties: 1 house and 1 bach. We have ended up very happy with both. Also, of the 6 properties we had inspected we walked away from 2 of them on the basis of major issues that were uncovered by Cornerstone's inspections. On at least 2 occasions the seller's agent has remarked to us that "your building inspector is very thorough, isn't he?". This is the advice you want on your side :). Highly recommended."

Phil conducted an extremely professional and thorough inspection at fairly short notice. The output report was comprehensive (with plenty of pictures) and was conveniently broken into sections outlining not only the essential and immediate maintenance concerns, but also indicated recommended areas for the future. We effectively got an 8-10yr maintenance plan for the property.

"We engaged CPIS to inspect a property we were considering purchasing in March 2014.

From the outset, we were impressed with Phil's professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail. He took the time to listen, get an understanding of the background of the property in question, and schedule the inspection at a time that worked for everyone.

When it came to the inspection itself, Phil quickly identified serious concerns around moisture ingress, and some of the construction methods employed, which he believed wouldn't meet code compliance for a habitable area. On his advice, we consulted the LIM which seemed to confirm a lack of the appropriate permits. We immediately withdrew from the sale, and feel very relieved to have essentially 'dodged a bullet' in not purchasing a property which was certainly not up to our required standards.

Interestingly, the property in question had been sold a few month's earlier, at which time it actually passed inspection by another property inspection service!

Phil's detailed verbal and written explanations made it easy for us to understand the issues, and clearly demonstrated his considerable knowledge and expertise. Given we withdrew from the purchase because of his findings, Phil even had the courtesy to reduce our fees from the 'Premium' to the 'Standard' report.

We're extremely happy with the service we received from CPIS, have no hesitation in recommending them to others, and will certainly engage them again."

"I was very happy with the building inspection we got from Phil. It had all the information necessary for us to feel confident in buying the property, and negotiate with the vendors for some roofing work.
He wasn\'t the cheapest but was better value than the previous inspector as we got the right information as first home owners with no knowledge of building."

"Phil was recommended to me by a number of my friends and we were really impressed with high level of service he provided. An appointment was made quickly and he had the report through the day after inspection. We will definately be recommending Phil to others needing a building inspector. Thank so much, Carole."

"The report was very thorough and easy to understand, with lots of photos and clear indication of urgent repairs needed. We are incredibly relieved that we got this inspection done, as the property we were intending to purchase had several serious issues we needed to know about. We would recommend Cornerstone Property Inspection to anyone thinking of purchasing a house, especially first home buyers."

"Jo and I very happy with Phil\'s efforts. Friendly, knowledgeable and the full report with us later that day. Very smooth. To top things off he spent alot of time detailing different ways of attacking different projects that needed to be worked on in the coming years.
Would definitely use again."

"We have been looking for a house for a while and this was our second property inspection but our first with Cornerstone.

Phil gave a superior service by far! When Phil turned up for the inspection, the agent hadn\'t got the keys for the 2 flats as promised, so Phil inspected the half he could and returned a few days later without extra charge to inspect the remaining. He also gave great insight with a list of things requiring attention and how soon, talked us through them on sight and answered all our questions over the phone in detail.

We bought the property and a couple of months later Phil was still happy to answer questions we had from the insurance company about wiring, roofing etc to help us get insurance.

The first inspectors we used before trying Cornerstone were slightly cheaper but the report was far less informative, gave less feedback when requested, and was generally unhelpful, so cheaper is definitely not better! This report was far better value for money despite being a little bit more expensive.

I couldn\'t recommend Cornerstone enough, thanks a million Phil."

"Great guy, great job. Phil is very friendly and walk the talk! Very prompt on communication.

He did an excellent job on inspecting the property and provided great details on issues found. He also provided good solutions on the issues. He gave me a peace of mind and know what I am buying for.

Highly recommended and will use him again!"
