100%"Great service from Inquest. I needed a property inspection urgently. Jodi was very efficient at listening to me and reassuring that Inquest could help. Adam was able to do it the following day with the report arriving that evening. It was detailed and comprehensive and I was able to speak to him about it the next morning for clarification and recommendations for follow up maintenance. Highly recommend."Rating by: Adele | Rating posted: 16th Oct | Contact: Adam Collins | Job date: Oct, 2019Adele•16th Oct•More details…

100%"I engaged Adam from Inquest to help me find some solutions to why water was getting into our rental. He came and was so thorough and detailed and stepped me through the solutions and in what order to undertake them. They also turned around an asbestos test in record time without any fuss.
The best part is as he doesn't do the work he is inspecting so you know that you are getting independent advice.
He was onto the job the day after contacting inquest and called me with very detailed… instructions that evening.
He even offered to pop back and check once we have dug out where some of the drainage is to go,
I wish I had known about inquest years ago as would have saved me thousands on undertaking jobs on my rentals that possibly didn't need doing.
I thoroughly recommend these guys. Probably the best company to do with housing I have ever dealt with.It was totally money well spent.
Their charging is transparent and easy to understand and I knew exactly what I was getting for my dollars.
Excellent office support as well and very detailed email communication.
One of the best."Rating by: James | Rating posted: 25th Sep | Contact: Adam | Job date: Sep, 2019James•25th Sep•More details…

I attended the inspection with Adam and we spent 2 hours going around the property very thoroughly. He explained everything to me and answered my many questions helpfully and patiently.

The document proved to be an asset for potential buyers . It is well presented, offering further explanation and advice from Adam by phone contact. At all times I was kept informed about the process.

They're not the cheapest service out there but we chose to invest in professionals and it was totally worth it for the peace of mind. Adam's observations and recommendations were straightforward and realistic, and he took the time to make sure we understood all the issues and possible solutions so we could make an informed choice about whether to buy.

100%"We used InQuest for a pre-purchase building report for our first home. The inspection was done very quickly (within 2 days of our enquiry) and thoroughly. It uncovered quite a few issues that weren't in the vendor's own builder's report. Adam also jumped on a few calls with us and explained some of the issues in great detail, which gave us the confidence about our decision to purchase the property. The online report we got from InQuest was very detailed and laid out in a very clear and concise… manner. Throughout the process, InQuest communicated very well and quickly (even during the weekend when our offer was accepted). I would highly recommend getting your own builder's report from InQuest, even if the vendor had provided their own. In our case, it was definitely worth it for the value that it had provided us."Rating by: Zheng | Rating posted: 19th Dec, 2018 | Contact: Adam Collins | Job date: Dec, 2018Zheng•19th Dec, 2018•More details…

He provided us with a written builders report with specific details on what we needed to do and was more than happy to answer questions. The report is also clear to read and understand and the whole process was so smooth.

He was very thorough in his inspection and gave me piece of mind when purchasing the property as we understood it needs a little TLC.He even managed to give us a rough estimate on the total cost of revamping the house in its entirety which is a really good indicator… of work to come.

I feel that even though there were some serious issues with the property that we are fully prepared when we move in.

The inspection was carried out and Adam completed an extremely thorough inspection of the property and went above and beyond to make sure we understood clearly the ins and outs of the final report. We can not reccomend Adam and Inquest Ltd enough. They kept in touch throughout the process, were incredibly helpful with all our… questions and followed up with us to see how we got on with the purchase. Just one those true genuine kiwi businesses that you want to support. Will definitely be using them again in the future."Rating by: Jane White | Rating posted: 18th Sep, 2018 | Contact: Adam Collins | Job date: Sep, 2018Jane White•18th Sep, 2018•More details…
