"iSPECT recently completed a Building and Defect inspection and report for me on a property I am looking to purchase. They made it very easy and the service was great. I provided selling agents contact details and it was all arranged without issue direct with agent. Turn around time from call to completion and receipt of report was amazing. Highly recommend iSPECT as a business."

"A huge thank you to Ispect Building Inspections and in particular our inspector Aaron Perez compiled a fantastic and comprehensive report for our recent investment property purchase in Reservoir. As we are located in Brisbane having a trusted and professional inspector with a keen eye for detail is crucial. He also was available to take my call and answer all of my questions thus allowing me to proceed with full confidence. Thanks Aaron and the Ispect team we will not hesitate to use you again for our next purchase! ?"

"I would not recommend this building and pest inspection company based on my experience. The inspector (HAMZA YASSINE) entered the property wearing muddy shoes, leaving dirt and mud throughout the home. I had specifically requested beforehand that shoes be removed because the property had just been professionally cleaned. When I contacted the inspector to ask him to return and clean up the mess, he denied responsibility and refused to come back. Rather than attempting to resolve the issue professionally, he was dismissive and unwilling to take accountability for the condition he left the property in. As someone working in real estate, I expect trades and inspectors to respect clients' homes and leave them in the same condition they found them. Unfortunately, this experience fell well short of that standard. I hope the company improves its customer service, professionalism, and respect for clients' properties. DONT USE THEM. CUSTOMER SERVCIE IS RUBBISH."

"The booking process was easy, responsive, and completely seamless. My inspector, David Murphy, was excellent ? thorough in his assessment of the property and generous with his time. He carefully explained each identified defect, making sure I understood the implications and recommended actions. I highly recommend David and the overall service. It was professional and excellent service."

"It was the best choice for me to have inspect for my first home. The inspector was really professional to do his job and I had communication with him a lot about that property. Also, the price was quite reasonable. The report was provided within 24 hours with lots of details. It was really helpful to know the exact condition of the house. I highly recommend ispect. Thank you so much!"

"Thank you so much to Dimitrios and the iSpect team! ?Last week, I had a building and pest inspection with iSpect for my very first home. Dimitrios was our inspector, and he did a phenomenal job from booking to the final report. ?I am 10,000% confident that I will use iSpect again for my next house inspection. Dimitrios played such a huge role in making my first home buying experience a success, and I cannot thank him enough. ?Dimitrios, you saved my life! Thank you so much for your incredible work."

"The inspection report had too many ?No Access? comments. I understand the manhole was small, but the inspector could have at least checked the roof externally for signs of leaks or damage. The report left many important areas unchecked, which was disappointing."

"Very disappointing inspection report (Dec 2025 ? Point Cook). The inspector appeared to mainly take photos and missed several major issues, including garage water leakage, poor paint workmanship (with some electrical switches even painted over), structural movement, and water pooling at the garage causing damage from the driveway flowing back towards the property. Roof leaks, blocked gutters, missing stop taps to basin valves, and doors that appear below standard thickness were also not identified. When I raised concerns via email, I was informed that Inspector David Prasad would personally liaise with me. However, instead of conducting a proper follow-up inspection, he simply created a WhatsApp video using the same photos I had provided in my email, with no real investigation or accountability. I am now dealing with ongoing issues almost every week, resulting in significant stress and unexpected costs due to this poor inspection. Don?t rely on reviews alone when choosing this company."

"Our inspector missed a fare few things for our first buy, building inspection. They have all been small things so far, but they also did report small thing in comparison which makes no sense. For example: missed a bracket in the wet area of a shower that was falling off the wall (and now we can't use that shower until its been repaired), there is cold air coming through a couple of power point sockets, one of the bathroom exhaust fans does not work... to name a few. Additional update as of 20/05/2026: When we moved in there was obviously some water damage in 3 separate corners of the apartment due to bubbled paint. However we bought in summer. The moment our first winter hit in 2024 our floor boards popped up! Turns out there were at least 3 different leaks that the seller covered up with a fresh paint job. Needless to say it has been a 2.5 year uphill battle getting these leaks fixed through the Owners Corporation and the STRATA insurance. Really disappointed with this company's thoroughness would avoid at all costs!"

"iSPECT was recommended to me by my conveyancer for my building and pest inspection. Not only did they come up as the most affordable option by hundreds of dollars, but their customer service and communication prior to the inspection was fantastic. Victor, the inspector, was extremely friendly, informative, and punctual, and took the time to step me through his recommendations for the property with care. Thank you for such a seamless experience, iSPECT!"

"Paid $550 for a Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) and genuinely expected a thorough and detailed assessment for that price ? unfortunately that wasn?t my experience. The inspection felt rushed and fairly superficial. After the inspection was completed, I personally noticed several items that should have been identified and documented during the inspection. I had to follow up about these issues, but received no proper response, only a suggestion to rebook rather than addressing the concerns already raised. For a PCI inspection, attention to detail is extremely important. If issues are missed and settlement or handover proceeds, the homeowner may end up dealing with those problems later at their own cost. The whole point of paying for an independent inspection is to catch these issues before that stage. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this service and would not use it again."

"I was extremely disappointed with iSpect Building Inspections. The inspection I received did not reflect the level of detail promised in their sample report ? it was basic and lacked thoroughness. Honestly, the report contained no more information than I could have identified myself. For the price paid, I expected a comprehensive, professional inspection with careful attention to detail, but unfortunately, that was not delivered. I would not recommend their services."

"I received a building and pest inspection report from iSPECT yesterday and, unfortunately, found the service to be quite underwhelming given the cost. The report was very basic and contained only minimal descriptions, with no use of advanced technologies or detailed diagnostic methods. Much of the information provided could have been identified by a buyer simply walking through the property and visually inspecting each area. For the fee charged ($572), I expected a far more comprehensive and technical assessment. To put this in context, I used a different inspection service last year for a anither situation that provided a highly thorough report of over 100 pages, including detailed explanations, measurements, and findings supported by advanced inspection tools?and it was significantly cheaper. I chose iSPECT this time only because my previous inspector was unavailable until February due to the holiday period. While I will say that the administrative team was responsive and efficient, the inspector himself was not very communicative, which further reduced confidence in the service. Overall, I would not recommend iSpect if you are seeking a detailed, in-depth inspection. If you only want a quick, surface-level overview, this service may be sufficient?but it does not justify the hefty price charged."

"Hamza was very diligent and helpful in determining the purchase. His and Ispect's experience, and prompt communication helped us to cancel a deal within the cooling off period, saving us subtantial money."

"iSpect were OK, but there was a fair bit of uncertainty and chasing up to confirm progress and confirmations on our Building and Pest inspection. Much of the information that we actually needed, such and stump and roof space condition, were not even addressed due to apparent access issues, even though pictures showed the roof hatch could at least be looked into with the ladder. Photos I had sent prior to the inspection of areas of concern and water damage were not assessed or addressed. Overall basic report for the price, but a quick turnaround on the day."

"Fantastic experience from start to finish?this building and its team truly deserve five stars. Our inspector was exceptional, stepping in on just one day?s notice and still delivering an incredibly thorough inspection, even going up onto the roof. The detailed report gave us full confidence moving forward, and we couldn?t be happier with the service."

"In a nutshell, the "inspector" Aaron who was selected to prepare a report on my friend's property which was for sale in Maribyrnong area of Melbourne,was so incompetent, made unsubstantiated comments based on NO EVIDENCE whatsoever & even noted that he couldn't gain access to certain areas but still made comments anyway!!!. Every section of house he inspected he basically covered his bum by repeatedly mentioning in the Comments Section that the purchaser should "appoint a qualified tradesman to inspect"!!!!! All he did was produce an inaccurate inspection of a 30-40 year old solid brick house which in the end "sabotaged" its sale with his derogatory representation of a beautiful, well maintained house & gave the buyer a false reason to use as a "bargaining tool", causing a great deal of trouble, unreasonably. These inspectors have to abide by an Australian Standard for House & Pest Control Inspections & yet this amateur didn't follow most of it. Be wary who you appoint to do an inspection & be prepared to stand your ground with ill-founded reports from some of these incompetent "inspectors". You get what you pay for, so the saying goes."

"Avoid at all costs, and be warned they offer 'free movie tickets' for leaving a positive review. Review provided for our property was useless, missed key details (no grouting in bathrooms and termites). A blind person could do a better job at inspecting properties. Avoid at all costs."

"The iSPECT team were incredible - we needed a same day building and pest inspection so that we could put an offer on a home, and they were able to make time for us and get us the report fast. Hamza was a legend - we rang him after the report came through and was generous with his time, answering our questions and giving us peace of mind before we bought the house."
