Auction deadlines are stressful enough without worrying about whether you can even get an inspection done in time. When I found a property in Adamstown I was seriously considering bidding on, I had less than 48 hours before I needed to make a decision. A friend recommended Stuart, and honestly it was the best call I made throughout the whole process.
Stuart sorted out access with the selling agent directly — I didn’t have to chase anyone or navigate that awkward back-and-forth myself. He had the inspection completed within 48 hours and my report was in my inbox well within 12 hours of him finishing on site. The report itself was thorough and genuinely easy to read — plain English with clear photos, not the vague boilerplate you sometimes get. He picked up some concerning moisture in the subfloor and flagged a few areas around the fascia that needed attention, which were exactly the kinds of things I wouldn’t have spotted myself. What really set this apart from other inspections I’ve had was that Stuart called me personally afterwards to walk through everything he’d found. He took the time to explain what was serious, what was cosmetic, and what I could reasonably negotiate on. The thermal imaging included as standard caught the moisture issue that wouldn’t have been visible otherwise.
As a licensed building inspector with over 30 years of hands-on trade experience, Stuart knows what he’s looking at. And because he’s completely independent and doesn’t do repairs, his building and pest inspection Lake Macquarie service gives you an honest, unbiased picture. Worth every cent before an auction.
