Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections specializes in Pre-Purchase Pest and Building inspections for the pedantic purchaser that does not want a cheap report with little detail as like many others in this industry are producing.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspection only performs detailed thorough reports that include colour photographs; the reports are in laymen’s terms, so you can easily understand the written reports which is very important.
Additional tools that we used to perform your Pest and Building Inspections is a Bollard T4 Inferred Thermal Imaging; a lot of other inspection companies are using cheap inferior thermal imaging cameras which are not as effective as the more expensive cameras like the Bollard T4. Thermal imaging is performed on every inspection as standard because so many times we find defects that are not visible to the naked eye that was detected using thermal imaging. We also use a Tramex moisture meter at no extra cost to check moisture readings including shower areas which is a common defect to find leaking showers and, in some homes, rising damp. These tools are invaluable in helping find termites and damp related defects.
Our inspectors are extremely experienced so you can rest assure you are in the right hands, so you can make an informed decision prior to making on one of the largest purchases in your life.
The clients are also welcome to discuss the reports over the phone with the inspector after receiving the reports, so you can ask questions and get answers to any questions you have. Onsite meetings on the property towards the end of the reports at the time of the inspections are also available on request providing the Real Estate agent approves you the client to be onsite.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections is fully insured with public liability and professional indemnity, the industry was deregulated years ago so many of our competitors are not experienced or insured, so if you're searching around, please check the inspection company you use is fully insured, accredited and that their experienced.
Real Estate agents are working for the vendor (the seller) so it is recommended to use an independent Pest and Building inspection company working for YOU the purchaser.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections is recognized throughout the real estate industry as being the premium Pest and Building Inspection company, hence why the agents use them themselves prior making a property purchase. The requirements changed approximately 7 years ago where anyone can do Pest and Building Inspections including yourself without any qualifications or insurances which opened the market for cheap inadequately experienced inspectors. If something goes wrong and they miss defects you have no comeback as they have $1 company and no insurance. Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections is a QUALITY PREMIUM Inspection Company, fully insured and the inspectors are handpicked on their experience. Only licenced builders are considered so rest assure your inspector is well qualified and has a minimum of 10 years building experience.
Trying to save a very small amount of money at this very important stage of a major purchase can cost you a lot of money in the long run.

CharlieThornton- Pest and Building Inspection
We recently used Hunter Valley pest and building inspections for a property we were looking at purchasing at Thornton, the team were helpful, they organised everything with very little effort on our end. Received a pest report and a building report both with pictures and lots of detail.
Tam5/5 would recommend
High quality service, with great communication and updates. The reports were thorough and very detailed, it was great to actually be able to speak to the inspector afterwards and get him to explain some of the points we didnt quite understand. - Pest and Building Inspection at Heddon Greta
Glen and BevTO THE POINT, Straight shooter
HVPB recently completed a Pest and Building Inspection for us at Ashtonfield. The inspector was a very reliable, straight to the point, no bull, kind of guy. Which is exactly what you need when buying a property, the truth and not the sale. Thanks for your great service and informative reports.
AdamQuality reports and top service
We booked Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to complete a Pest and Building Inspection for us at Thornton. The inspector was detailed and had great attention to detail, the reports were easy to read and we were able to call and go through our questions with the inspector afterwards (which was great). Much appreciated.
JakeHandover Inspection at Cliftleigh
Thanks for your great work on our Handover inspection and building report. Detailed, straight to the point, thorough communication. A very easy process. The easiest part of our whole build. Thanks
DennisPest and Building - Hunter Valley
Thank you for the detailed report and fitting us in that cancelled slot. Reports were easy to read and great turnaround time. Cheers
DeniseDetailed report, very happy with the service
We just want to thank the team at Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. We recently had a handover inspection for our newly built home in Bolwarra Heights, we were very surprised at how many extra things the inspector picked up on and relieved that they were caught before we took the keys. The report was very detailed and the pictures were a great help. Thanks
ChadGreat team and excellent service
The team at Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections provided us with an excellent service when we engaged their services for a pest and building inspection at Kurri Kurri. Nothing was too much trouble, the inspector investigated specific issues we were concerened about, the secretary organised it all with the real estate. It was lovely not having to chase people to do their jobs and a welcome relief after using some other poor business services recently. Thanks team.
StaceyPest and Building Inspection at Cliftleigh
We recently engaged the services of Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections, for a property in Cliftleigh. After reading the pest ands building reports we had the confidence and knowledge to put forward an appropriate offer and move forward with our intent to purchase. Thanks for the great work, keep it up, will recommend to friends and family.
ChadGreat service, worth the price
Great service, the inspector and his team were friendly and down to earth. They made the whole process a breeze, we didn't have to do a thing bar booking through the website and paying the invoice, although he wasn't the cheapest, the service was definetly worth it. Detailed reports and quick turnaround. Thanks
ClaireClear, Concise, To The Point!!!!
The team from Hunter Valley pest and building inspections are friendly and professional. The reports were detailed and had pictures to identify some of the defects. Issues we never would have thought to look for were clear and easy to read. The inspector was concise and to the point when discussing issues over the phone, which was appreciated. It was great to know the team had our best interests in the forefront of their mind and were not working for the real estate.
RodPest and Building Inspection at Ashtonfield
Hi Thank you for the detailed reports, they were clear and easy to understand for my wife and myself. We appreciate your quality service from start to end, nothing was a hassle and thank you for getting us in so quickly.
PeteProfessional Quality Reports
Very experienced and organised, providing professional quality reports in a timely manner. We were kept updated with how our booking was progressing, from booking online, confirming access with the real estate, when the inspections were taking place and how long after we would get the reports. A very smooth process without much effort on our behalf, great thanks!
SarahGreat inspector, very friendly
Mal is a very straight forward guy, gets to the point and doesn't dally around. This is very refreshing and a friendly guy to boot. Thanks for your work on our pest and building inspection at Raymond Terrace. Appreciate you getting us booked in and reports returned before our cooling off period ended. Cheers
S&G HunterWe would highly recommend HVP&B Inpsections for your next property purchase.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were very helpful with our recent purchase of a property in Kurri Kurri. They made all the arrangements to attend the property to do the inspection so all we had to do was wait for the reports. They were very prompt in emailing out the reports the following day - excellent turn-around! We were happy with the condition of the property (although it was older and we expected a few issues) and this was also reflected in the reports along with a couple of other things we didn't observe when we viewed the property. It was great to get another person look at it with 'fresh' eyes (not the rose-coloured glasses we had on lol). We would highly recommend HVP&B Inpsections for your next property purchase.
Dan and Jen BHunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did a Handover Inspection for us in Farley on our new house.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did a Handover Inspection for us in Farley on our new house. The inspector organised the access through the builder so we didn't have to do it and we met with him afterwards. There were a lot more issues than we first thought. Once we received our report, it was forwarded straight away to the building supervisor and company so we could make arrangements to get things rectified. HVP&B were so thorough and we are so grateful they could do the inspection. We'll be passing on their details to our new neighbours.
Frank L5 STARS!!!! These guys were great.
5 STARS!!!! These guys were great. Squeezed in our inspection at the last minute & followed up with a phone call to make sure we received the reports and understood them. Great customer service! We would highly recommend Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections.
Pete DThis report has saved me a lot of money already.
I used Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections when I needed a Handover Inspection completed on a new build in North Rothbury. I booked online and they took care of contacting the builder to make sure they could get access to the house to do the inspection. I ended up meeting the inspector at the house just as he was finishing the inspection and he went over a couple of the bigger problems with me briefly. I received the report the next day and was so glad I had them done. I have forwarded the report to the building supervisor and the company I have built with to get them to fix all the problems that were picked up before we move in. There were a lot of things that the builder had noted in his report but they weren't going to fix. Now I've had another inspection done, they need to. This report has saved me a lot of money already.
Jeff PThe reports were emailed to me promptly and they had emailed them to my conveyancer as well.
I had an inspection done at a house in Wallalong with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. The reports were emailed to me promptly and they had emailed them to my conveyancer as well. I'm not from a building/construction background and I found them easy to understand which was a relief. They covered everything I needed to know and I was happy enough to go ahead with the purchase. I can highly recommend HVP&B Inspections.
Janelle & Troy ROur friends had recommended Hunter Valley Pest and Building as they had used them previously.
My partner and I were first home buyers and looking at purchasing a house in Gillieston Heights. Our friends had recommended Hunter Valley Pest and Building as they had used them previously. The home was fairly new and we didn't think there would be much wrong but needed to have the Pest and Building done for the bank and our conveyancer said we'd be nuts not to do it (it was part of the cooling off agreement). We booked online and they did the rest. They emailed the reports out to us the day after and our conveyancer also received a copy directly from them which I felt was a great idea. The reports were fantastic - there were a few mninor things that needed tending to but overall, we were very happy. Thanks to the staff and inspectors at Hunter Valley Pest and Building. Very professional.
K. LangdonThe reports were emailed the day after the inspection and had a lot of informative content.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did Pest and Building Inspections for me just before Christmas and I have to say, they were great. Communicated everything via email, phone or text message. The reports were emailed the day after the inspection and had a lot of informative content. I would use these guys again definitely.
G. McIntosh I can say I'd definitely use these guys again.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were great. Polite on the phone, they took charge and booked everything in so I didn't have to. The inspector gave me a call once he had finished and discussed a couple of things with me before I got my reports which I was grateful for. They certainly were thinking of their customer! I can say I'd definitely use these guys again.
F. Turnbull Truly a hard worker! Thanks again, your reports were awesome.
Thank you, Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for coming out on what seemed like the hottest day of the century to do a Pest and Building Inspection on a house in Rothbury. I was sure the tar would be melting and when I called, you had just gotten out from the roof space! Truly a hard worker! Thanks again, your reports were awesome.
Simon and Jessica B You went above and beyond in our opinion and we are very thankful
Your assistance in getting our Pest and Building Inspection completed was greatly appreciated. We only had a few days left on our cooling off period, and you graciously offered to do the inspection on the weekend for us so we would receive our reports in time. You went above and beyond in our opinion and we are very thankful. Your reports showed us the good, the bad and the ugly! Lol.
J & P CoombesWe were happy that they were a local company and the reports we received were outstanding.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections recently completed inspections for us on a property in Cliftleigh. We were happy that they were a local company and the reports we received were outstanding. Colour photos and itemised defects. A one day turnover for our reports were very appreciated. We would highly recommend them to anyone.
Sam RI’m seriously impressed with the speed in which you take to complete reports
Thank you again to HVP&B Inspections for your work. The reports are great!! I’m seriously impressed with the speed in which you take to complete reports – including the design and layout of the documents. Your reports are also very thorough and we thank you for that. It’s been great to work with you and I trust the job has been completed more than satisfactorily.
Steven POnce I finish this project and it's time to move onto my next one, I'll be booking with HVP&B again.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building did inspections at a house for me in Cessnock when I was buying a few years ago, and when I decided it was time to sell and move onto my next project I called them up again. I'd found another house in North Rothbury that I wanted to buy and renovate and knew what a great job they'd done last time. Their online booking process was easy and I knew my reports would be emailed out in a prompt fashion. Understandably, the reports weren't glowing but they outlined everything that needed attantion which is exactly what I wanted. Once I finish this project and it's time to move onto my next one, I'll be booking with HVP&B again.
Matt HThe reports gave me a lot to think about in regards to future repairs and renovations
Hi Guys, Thanks for your in-depth Pest and Building reports on the property I was interested in at Rutherford. The reports gave me a lot to think about in regards to future repairs and renovations before I even considered putting in an offer. The fact that you were able to get access and complete the inspections within a few days meant I beat a few other people to offers as well. Thanks again for all your help.
Melanie TThey were polite, thorough and the reports were emailed promptly and looked very professional.
I would happily recommend Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to everyone needing inspections done. They were polite, thorough and the reports were emailed promptly and looked very professional. I loved that they were a local business too.
Matt RI'd definitely use your business again.
Thanks Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for your reports on a house I was looking at buying. They have been handy in helping me make a decision on whether to make an offer and how much. I'd definitely use your business again.
Peter KHVP&B Inspections helped me out by doing Pest and Building Inspections on a house in Cessnock I was looking at buying.
HVP&B Inspections helped me out by doing Pest and Building Inspections on a house in Cessnock I was looking at buying. I knew it had previous termite damage so I wanted someone who used Thermal Imaging just in case there were live termites again. The inspector found the termite damage easily, no live termites, but the damage was more extensive than we were told. Unfortunately I had to say no to that one but I am still looking at properties and will be calling Hunter Valley Pest and Building again to get another inspection done when the time is right.
Sandy THVP&B were a great choice for our recent property inspections.
HVP&B were a great choice for our recent property inspections. They showed up on time, had our reports out to us promptly and were always professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
G & W OwenThe reports were of the highest standard, easy to read and included colour photos.
Thank you for your expertise in our recent purchase in Cessnock with the Pest and Building Inspections. Your business was recommended to us by our Conveyancer (amongst a couple of others). After looking up the business online, we decided to book with you, and we are glad we did. The reports were of the highest standard, easy to read and included colour photos. The online booking process was also easy to navigate.
Jason KI'm more than happy I got these guys to do them and can easily recommend this business.
I did some googling before booking a Pest and Building Inspector. Hunter Valley Pest and Building had great online reviews and were local so they were my first choice when getting inspections done. They will be my only choice if I purchase again. The whole process was easy - to book, pay and receive reports. I'm more than happy I got these guys to do them and can easily recommend this business.
Sonya PI've already mentioned your business to a few friends.
*Hi Guys! Thanks for your reports on a property I had inspected in Kurri Kurri. They were emailed promptly and easy enough that I could read them without needing help! lol. I've already mentioned your business to a few friends.
Jenny PIt wasn't an old house, but I wanted peace of mind and to know beforehand if there was anything majorly wrong
*I had Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections complete an inspection on a property I was looking at in Heddon Greta. It wasn't an old house, but I wanted peace of mind and to know beforehand if there was anything majorly wrong so I could budget accordingly. I took the time to read the reports I received and was more than happy with how easy they were to read and understand. There wasn't much wrong - just a few minor defects. Thanks for your help and I've already put your details out there to a few people.*
Amanda F It has helped the decision process in what I am going to do moving forward.
Thank you HVP&B for the prompt booking and reports on the house I was looking at in Aberdare. It has helped the decision process in what I am going to do moving forward. I thank you for your time and input and will pass your details on to family and friends.
Katie WThe service provided by Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections was great.
The service provided by Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections was great. They took it upon themselves to book in the inspection time through the Real Estate so I didn't have to chase that up. I also provided my Conveyancer details so they emailed the reports directly to them as well. I received my reports the day after the inspection, so not even a day to wait! Thanks guys.
C. Marshall The reports were easy to read and had colour photos
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections came up when I did a google search for local building inspectors in my area. I needed Pre-purchase inspections done at a house I was purchasing in Cessnock before my cooling off period ended. They'd had someone re-schedule an inspection the day I booked so I was able to get it done within my cooling off. The reports were easy to read, had colour photos and because I'd added my Conveyancer details, they emailed them to her straight away as well. I was pleased with the service and outcome of the inspections and would highly recommend them to anyone.
F. NixonI really liked that they were located in the Hunter Valley and knew the area.
I bought a house in Kurri Kurri and Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were one of the companies recommended by my Conveyancer to use or my pre-purchase inspections. I really liked that they were located in the Hunter Valley and knew the area. The attention to detail in the reports that I received was amazing. I think the inspector might have stayed over instead of just spending a couple of hours there lol. I can highly recommend this business!
Sam PMore than happy with the speed and accuracy of the Pest and Building reports produced by Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections.
More than happy with the speed and accuracy of the Pest and Building reports produced by Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. I spoke with the inspector on the phone after I got the report to ask a few questions and he was more than happy to help out. Highly recommended.
S & T BatesThe inspector's reports picked up quite a few more problems than the builder told us about, so we are grateful we had it done.
HUnter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were great when we needed to get a Handover Inspection done at the house we were building in North Rothbury. They liased with the builder to arrange a suitable day and time, arrived promptly and completed the inspection while we did a walk-through with our builder. The inspector's reports picked up quite a few more problems than the builder told us about, so we are grateful we had it done. We approached the builder with our report and are now waiting to have the last few things fixed and we can move in! Thanks to HVP&B!
Sean HThey were easy to book with, the inspection was done within a few days and I had the reports a day later.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did pre-purchase inspections for me on a house in Pelaw Main. They were easy to book with, the inspection was done within a few days and I had the reports a day later. They were easy to read (even for a dummy like me) and really helped in the decision of what I wanted to offer on the house. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Scott RI'm hoping to increase my real estate portfolio in the coming years, so I will definitely be giving HVP&B some more work!
I recently had Pest and Building Inspections completed by Hunter Valley Pest and Building. I booked online but they were also polite and informative when I spoke to them on the phone. My inspection was completed in the same week and reports emailed the following day. The Real Estate agent had met the inspector at the property and even he said how nice he was. I'm hoping to increase my real estate portfolio in the coming years, so I will definitely be giving HVP&B some more work!
Sam EThe whole process was easy. I can highly recommend this business for pre-purchase inspections!
I needed a Pest and Building Inspection done on a property in Cessnock, so I googled inspectors for Cessnock. Not very exciting. Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were the only ones that had any google ratings so I checked out their website. Pretty Impressive. I booked an inspection online with them. I received an email confirmation straight away and later was emailed the date my inspection was going ahead. I had the reports the day after the inspection. The whole process was easy. I didn't have phone around to real estates or owners and make arrangements, I didn't have to wait for my report to arrive via snail mail and they even sent it to my conveyancer. I can highly recommend this business for pre-purchase inspections!
Ben YHunter Valley Pest and Building were exceptional during a recent Handover Inspection we had done in North Rothbury.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building were exceptional during a recent Handover Inspection we had done in North Rothbury. The supervisor was being quite difficult (I don't think he wanted me to know the amount of problems there were). HVP&B booked it all in and dealt with the supervisor in a professional manner and when speaking to me were very polite. The inspector was very knowledgable and I was extremely happy with my report. I'd gladly refer their business to anyone building a new house.
Peter FThe inspector was on time for the inspection we arranged
HVP&B came and did an inspection at my house after I discovered some cracks appearing in walls and windows becoming harder to open/close. The inspector was on time for the inspection we arranged and did a thorough inspection of the house from inside and underneath. The report that was produced covered the issues I was having plus recommendations to follow up with repairs. I was very happy with their service and would be more than happy to use them again.
S & T ProudWe ended up missing out on the property but we are still actively looking and will definitely use these guys again.
Thank you Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for the quick turn-around on inspections at the property we were vying for in Bolwarra Heights. We were locked in a bidding war and it was every man for himself so we jumped the gun and got Pest and Building Inspections done asap before the other people. We were so glad we did.... the property had a couple of issues like rising damp and given the price we had negotiated, we weren't going to put in a higher offer. We ended up missing out on the property but we are still actively looking and will definitely use these guys again.
Dave and Sonia PWe will be referring HVP&B Inspections to our friends.
We bought a house in North Rothbury and Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections came out to do the pre-purchase inspections for us. We met the inspector at the property after he had started the inspection and he answered a lot of questions for us and gave us a quick overview before emailing the reports to us the following day. We were very happy that there were no major issues with the property, only a few little things that were easy to fix (they were things we had overlooked during our own inspection of the house). It was great to have a second pair of eyes checking everything out for us. We will be referring HVP&B Inspections to our friends.
Grant TThe inspector arrived on time and even took his shoes off before coming inside!
Hunter Valley Pest and Building completed inspections when we were selling our property in Heddon Greta. The inspector arrived on time and even took his shoes off before coming inside! The whole time he was in our house he was polite. He didn't rush around and leave within half an hour of getting there - he was very observant and took lots of photos. When we received the reports and showed our Real Estate agent, they were very impressed too. We're so glad we used them - having the reports at our open house made any questions about problems easy to answer and we had an offer the same day. Thanks guys for your help in selling our house!
Peter GThey were polite, reliable and my reports were emailed the next day like they said.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did inspections for me at a house in Cessnock. They were polite, reliable and my reports were emailed the next day like they said. More than happy to pass along their details to potential buyers.
Shawn OYou guys are worth your weight in gold!
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections completed a Handover report for me on a new house I was building in North Rothbury. They picked up on so many problems that the builder had just told us were nothing to worry about. After I showed the supervisor my report, they had no excuse not to fix everything. You guys are worth your weight in gold!
S. HamiltonI can highly recommend them for inspections and would gladly use them again in the future.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building were great to deal with. Very professional and courteous on the phone and their reports were thorough and easy to read. I can highly recommend them for inspections and would gladly use them again in the future.
P & T BatesWe are ever so grateful to Hunter Valley Pest and Building for their professionalism and thoroughness.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections came and completed a Handover Inspection for us at our new house in North Rothbury. Our builder had been friendly and accommodating throughout the whole build and we were eager to move in. We thought that having an independent inspection done was the 'norm' but when the builder found out he wasn't happy. He wouldn't let us be onsite when the inspector was there and had made access to the property difficult for the inspector. We received our report from HVP&B the next day and were gobsmacked at the amount of defects they had picked up! The inspector called us to discuss the reports after we'd had a chance to read them and even he was surprised at some of the dodgy work the builders had carried out. Now we know why our builder was always so nice to us. He must have thought he was going to get away with the shoddy work. We emailed a copy of the report on to the site supervisor as well as the building company. They were very apologetic and within a week had arranged for repairs and rectifications to be started. We are ever so grateful to Hunter Valley Pest and Building for their professionalism and thoroughness.
Sam KDefinitely money well spent in my opinion.
I have used Hunter Valley Pest and Buiding Inspections twice now. First property they went and inspected for me was a total lemon! It was only after the inspector phoned me once he'd finished the inspection that I realised the extent of repairs needed to the property. They had found termite damage and it would have cost me thousands to fix. Second property was much better and I am moving forward with the purchase. Without the Pest and Building inspections I would have never known of any damage to the first house and thank my lucky stars I had them done. Definitely money well spent in my opinion.
Thomas PHunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were very easy to deal with.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were very easy to deal with. I booked online and they carried out the rest of the hard work! My reports were emailed to me the morning after the inspection and they included colour photos and suggestions how to repair different items. It has given me a chance to sit down and figure out how much work I have ahead of me and prepared me for any extra costs which I might not have realised had I not had these reports done. I can highly recommend their services.
S. MorrisGreat to deal with and was extremely prompt with their services!
Great to deal with and was extremely prompt with their services! They called to clarify the online booking and I was able to get the inspection done the next working day. The reports were very detailed, included photographs and even outlined certain things that I wouldn't have even thought of. Definitely would recommend Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to others.
P. LancasterThank you for providing a prompt and professional inspection service.
I would recommend you use Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. They were very meticulous in providing their Pest and Building Inspection services and more than willing to discuss any issues you may have as a result of the inspections. Thank you for providing a prompt and professional inspection service.
F & M KnappWe have no hesitation in recommending Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections
We just had a Pest and Building inspection completed in Maitland and wanted to let you know how impressed we were. We have bought and sold a handful of properties but at no time have we ever met a Pest and Building inspector who has taken that much time, and care to explain everything in a thorough manner. We have no hesitation in recommending Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to our friends and colleagues.
Ted SThe report for our house inspection was easy enough to read and understand
Hunter Valley Pest and Building inspections were very thorough. The report for our house inspection was easy enough to read and understand, with pictures showing the areas discussed. I found this very professional and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Thank you.
Samantha EAs a single female I really had no idea what I should be looking for.
Thankyou so much HVP&B for the very professional and thorough inspection you carried out for me on my new property. It was a little daunting for me when the builders said the property was ready for the completion inspection. As a single female I really had no idea what I should be looking for. I was relieved to put this in your very experienced hands, and very glad I did when you found some problems that needed rectifying. The builder has now taken care of these issues and I could not be happier. Again, thankyou for the peace of mind.
Ben and Dee TThey were detail oriented, thorough and extremely helpful. Thanks so much!
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections completed a building inspection for us on a prospective new home. They quickly returned phone calls, liaised with the real estate agent and sent us through the reports once completed. They were detail oriented, thorough and extremely helpful. Thanks so much!
Todd GMost of the paperwork was done online, they booked it in and let me know what date it would be completed.
I bought a house in Kurri Kurri and my Conveyancer suggested Hunter Valley Pest and Building to get the pre-purchase inspections done. They were local to the area and after checking out the website I was pretty happy to go ahead. Most of the paperwork was done online, they booked it in and let me know what date it would be completed. I was told to expect me reports the day after the inspection and they were in my inbox by lunch. A great, efficient service and I can highly recommend them.
Max CThe reports were in colour and had photos indictating different problems which was a handy visual tool.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were efficient, prompt and very knowledagble when I booked them recently for a Pest and Building Inspection in Greta. The staff organised everything and I just waited for the reports. The reports were in colour and had photos indictating different problems which was a handy visual tool. I was very impressed overall and would recommend their services to anyone purchasing property.
Amanda TNeedless to say, I was very happy with the reports and will recommend you guys to everyone!
I had been and looked at a house which I put an offer on and the vendors accepted. I thought the house was in pretty good condition but my Conveyancer insisted I get a Pest and Building Inspection done. Hunter Valley Pest and Building had some great reviews so I booked online. I received my reports via email the day after the inspection and I was surprised at how many things the inspector had picked up! I didn't see half the things he noted! lol. Needless to say, I was very happy with the reports and will recommend you guys to everyone!
Daniel SGreat company to use & we will be recommending them.
After a recent property purchase in North Rothbury, our Conveyancer recommended we get a Pest and Building Inspection completed. Hunter Valley Pest and Building were local to the area & had great website reviews. We booked online and they basically did the rest. The reports were comprehensive and covered everything we needed. Our Conveyancer was also impressed. Great company to use & we will be recommending them.
Jay TI was very happy with the reports and would definitely use them again.
I purchased a property in Singleton and needed a Pest and Building Inspection done. The conveyancer I had mentioned Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections so I googled them. Their reviews were very good so I booked online. They completed my inspections within a few days and I received the reports the day after. I was very happy with the reports and would definitely use them again. Very thorough and comprehensive.
Ted AThe inspections were completed a couple of days after I booked online and my reports emailed the next day.
I booked Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for inspections at house I was buying in Morpeth. The inspections were completed a couple of days after I booked online and my reports emailed the next day. I had actually provided my Conveyancer details too, so they emailed a copy of the reports straight to them as well. That saved me a bit of time and my conveyancer was grateful she had them sooner rather than waiting for me to email them after work.
Justin L Very happy with their service and would recommend them to anyone.
HVP&B were a great company to deal with. Booking online was easy, they followed up with a phone call and email once it was booked in, and the reports were emailed the day after the inspection. After I had read the reports I was able to speak with the inspector over the phone and pick his brain on a couple of things. Very happy with their service and would recommend them to anyone.
Sean WThere were no major issues in the house but the quality of the reports was still a very high standard.
When I bought a property in Thornton I didn't know who to get to do my Pest and Building Inspections. My conveyancer recommended Hunter Valley Pest and Building so I checked out their website. I was pretty surprised! It was very user-friendly, great reviews and I could book everything online. They went ahead and made sure the inspection could go ahead with the Real Estate and all I had to do was wait for the reports! They were emailed the next day and after I had read them I was quite happy with what they had produced for me. There were no major issues in the house but the quality of the reports was still a very high standard. I'm glad my Conveyancer recommended them. I would definitely use them again!
Thomas MThe reports covered every aspect of the property
Hunter Valley Pest and Building completed my pre-purchase inspections when I bought a house in Cessnock. They were very professional with their booking process and the turn-around for my reports was the next business day. The reports covered every aspect of the property including the garage, carport and garden sheds out the back. I was pretty happy with the overall condition of the property after reading them. I can highly recommend HVP&B Inspections!
Jenelle GI also liked that I could book online as it meant I could take my time in between kids, animals and husbands!
I bought a house out in North Rothbury and it was great to have an inspector who was local and knew the area. I also liked that I could book online as it meant I could take my time in between kids, animals and husbands! The reports were emailed to me directly the day after the inspection and my conveyancer also received an emailed copy (saving me the time of having to forward a copy to them). I would highly recommend Hunter Valley Pest and Building to any busy parents!
Sandra WMy reports were emailed in a timely manner and were easy to read.
Thanks to Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections! My reports were emailed in a timely manner and were easy to read. Nothing was drastically wrong with the property (we expected that as it was a near new house) but the reports still covered a lot of the property. Will be great to hang onto in the years to come.
Timothy HMy conveyancer also received a copy of the reports and was impressed.
I bought a property in Lochinvar and needed a Pest and Building Inspection completed before my cooling off period ended. I'd called a few inspectors and most wouldn't travel to Lochinvar?!? Anyway, Hunter Valley Pest and Building would. And they were local to the Hunter Region. I was more than happy with the reports I received - no major dramas, just a few minor things. My conveyancer also received a copy of the reports and was impressed. Pretty sure she's going to add them to her list. Thanks.
Mr & Mrs C BrownOur reports were produced the day after the inspection.
Hunter Valley P&B did pre-purchase inspections for us on a property we were buying in Weston. Our reports were produced the day after the inspection. We were able to speak with the inspector with any questions and took advantage of this as we had a couple of things we needed clarification on. Overall, we were quite impressed with them and would recommend their services.
Jen W The reports that we received were of a high standard
I had Pest and Building Inspections done through Hunter Valley Pest and Building. The reports that we received were of a high standard and included a lot more than we thought they would. There were colour photos and recommendations on what repairs were needed. We were very impressed. And they were local too!
Ken P I will definitely be contacting them if I decide to buy another property.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were great! Easy to book online, they followed up with a phone call and email confirmation. My reports were emailed the day after the inspection and the inspector was available to discuss anything over the phone if I needed. I will definitely be contacting them if I decide to buy another property.
Martin GOverall, I wouldn't hesitate to use these guys again or recommend them to people.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building did inspections for me at a property I was looking at in Bellbird. The whole process from booking to getting my reports was fairly easy. I did the booking online, paid online and my reports were emailed to me. Everything in between they dealt with including getting access to the house from the agent. My reports were thorough and I was impressed that they included photos from underneath the house (it looked like a bit of a squeeze to get under there in my opinion!) Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to use these guys again or recommend them to people.
Nigel LI like the fact that the inspector really takes their time and inspects the house properly
I have used Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections a couple of times now. I like the fact that the inspector really takes their time and inspects the house properly - he's not just there on behalf of the Real Estate to help sell the property. My reports have always been emailed the following business day and include photos which helps identify any problem areas. I can highly recommend them to anyone buying property!
D & R GaynorTthe information they provided us was incredibly valuable.
We used Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections because we saw how thorough they were in a house we were previously renting. We got them for a pre-purchase inspection on a property in Cessnock and the information they provided us was incredibly valuable. We were able to utilise their report to negotiate a better price. The gentleman who did our inspection exuded trust and made me feel like I was having a knowledgable family member check out my prospective purchase property. I will never use anyone else after using HVP&B.
Matthew PThe inspector was very detailed and I loved that he showed and explained things at the end of the inspection.
A big thank you for our recent Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection. The inspector was very detailed and I loved that he showed and explained things at the end of the inspection. It allowed me to ask questions for further clarification about anything on the spot. This is the second home Hunter Valley Pest and Building has inspected for us and as our portfolio grows in the Hunter Valley region, they are our first point of contact. Highly Recommended…
Susan SI can highly recommend HVP&B. I'll be passing on their details to friends too.
I booked my pre-purchase inspections online with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections after I was told by a friend about how great they were. I was impressed by the turn-around of the reports, they used colour photos and suggested how to fix any defects. I can highly recommend HVP&B. I'll be passing on their details to friends too.
Alison HThe inspector was lovely and took some time to answer questions I had.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were professional, thorough and informative when they did Pest and Building Inspections for me at a property in Kurri Kurri. The inspector was lovely and took some time to answer questions I had. The reports were great - I had them the next day and they included colour photos. No wonder their reviews are all great.
Jeff TEverything went smoothly and even though the reports covered a lot, there were only a few minor issues which were easily fixed.
I used Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections after a neighbour had them do inspections when they were buying a house in a nearby suburb. They had said how thorough the reports were and they had been impressed. I also googled and looked at a couple of different companies but I felt their feedback and testimonials were better than others. I booked online and the inspections were carried out within a week. The reports were emailed the day after. Everything went smoothly and even though the reports covered a lot, there were only a few minor issues which were easily fixed. So I guess I now need to thank my neighbour and also pass on good vibes for HVP&B!
S. & H. InverallThanks guys for your thorough, informative and extremely helpful reports.
Thanks guys for your thorough, informative and extremely helpful reports. By using your services we now have an understanding of how much extra money we will need for repairs and maintenance. We will pass on your details to everyone who will listen!
Mr & Mrs D HodgeOur reports were emailed to us as well as our Conveyancer
HVP&B helped us out of a tight spot when the inspector we had booked with another company was unable to carry out the job. The property we were looking at was on acreage and was just out of Singleton (I think the first inspector we booked just didn't want to drive that far). Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were more than happy to travel out there (they are based in Kurri Kurri). Our reports were emailed to us as well as our Conveyancer and they covered everything about the house from outside to inside, bottom to top. We are very grateful to them for helping us and we will be recommending them to everyone.
Bruno SThey were very prompt, the reports thorough and the inclusion of defects and suggested repairs was excellent.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections went and did inspections at a property in Weston for me. They were very prompt, the reports thorough and the inclusion of defects and suggested repairs was excellent. I can highly recommend them.
Samantha FThe whole process was easy - they booked in the inspection with the Real Estate and kept the inspection time.
I was grabbing a coffee one day at a local cafe in Cessnock when I overheard another customer mention Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to the person they were with. I pretended not to eavesdrop but stepped a little closer so I could hear what they said as I was looking at purchasing property in the area. The lady raved about them to her friend and said they had just used them when buying a house in Nulkaba. As soon as I got my coffee I sat in my car and started googling! lol. Their online reviews were good, website testimonials even better. I kept their name in the back of my mind until I had a property I was interested in and made an online booking. The whole process was easy - they booked in the inspection with the Real Estate and kept the inspection time. The next day I had my report via email (and so did my conveyancer). To be honest, I only skimmed through the report and read the defects section (my conveyancer read the whole thing). I was very impressed though. It had colour photos and reasons the defects were there as well as solutions. 10 out of 10 for me! Glad I grabbed a coffee that day.
Sam LVery happily recommend them to anyone!
I saw Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections mentioned on a Facebook post so checked them out online. Their reviews were all great so I booked my inspections online (which was great, by the way, as I work late and never seem to have enough hours in the day). They emailed my reports the day after the inspections were completed and even my Conveyancer said how efficient they were. Very happily recommend them to anyone!
Nadine R It must have been great as I sold my home after just 2 open houses.
I had Hunter Valley Pest and Building come to my house and do inspections prior to selling late last year. The inspector was very nice and seemed to go over every nook and cranny in the house. My reports were great - I knew there were a few small problems but the reports enabled the potential purchasers to know what exactly needed repairs. It must have been great as I sold my home after just 2 open houses. I will be calling Hunter Valley Pest and Building when I find new place.
P & R YeomanWe felt confident getting the inspections done through them prior to selling as they had a reputation of being very thorough.
HVP&B came and completed Pest and Building Inspections for us when we were selling our property in Singleton. We felt confident getting the inspections done through them prior to selling as they had a reputation of being very thorough. Yes, there were a few things they picked up that needed repairs and maintenance but we felt it was better to be honest with buyers. It certainly paid off as we had an open house and later that week had a couple of offers. We will be using Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections when we are ready to buy our next house.
Katriona THunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections went over the house with a fine tooth comb - and this was reflected in the reports I received.
The house I was buying in Bellbird had been renovated so I wanted to get inspections done to make sure everything was ok. Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections went over the house with a fine tooth comb - and this was reflected in the reports I received. I also had the pleasure of speaking with the inspector over the phone and he clarified a couple of things. He was extremely helpful and professional. Thanks guys.
G & P ThomasThey did a Handover Inspection on a new house we'd built in Cliftleigh.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were great. They did a Handover Inspection on a new house we'd built in Cliftleigh. The builder was basically palming off my concerns about different things so we had an independent inspection. So glad we did as we now have gone back to the builder with the report and they have to fix everything. Worth every cent!
N. JuddYour inspector was professional and the reports helped me with a few decisions I needed to make.
Thank you Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for your help with my recent property purchase in Largs. Your inspector was professional and the reports helped me with a few decisions I needed to make.
Sam and Pete LNothing was a problem for them and they were more than happy to accommodate us.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections helped us with inspections at a property in Branxton. We had a few questions about the house in regards to the subfloor and we were interested in the outcome of the pest report. We arranged to meet the inspector at the house towards the end of the inspection so we could talk to him and go over the areas of concern. Nothing was a problem for them and they were more than happy to accommodate us. The inspector listened to our questions and explained a few things. Our Pest report uncovered that there had been termite damage to an area of the house but since then, the termite protection had been consistent. It was great finding out these things beforehand and we were very impressed with the inspector and the quality of the reports. If you are needing inspections done, don't hesitate to contact HVP&B!
Gavin LWell worth the money to have an independent inspection done (a lot of builders are against it... I wonder why?)
I was building a new house in Heddon Greta which was nearing completion and I needed a Handover Inspection done before I moved in. I googled a lot of companies, but loved that Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were local. They made arrangements with the builder and it all went ahead. I was surprised at the number of items that the inspector picked up that needed to be repaired/replaced. Well worth the money to have an independent inspection done (a lot of builders are against it... I wonder why?)
Sam CThe reports were emailed to me and were easy to read, with photos included.
I happily booked my inspections through Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections after a friend told me about their great experience. The reports were emailed to me and were easy to read, with photos included. I also spoke with the inspector afterwards and he answered a few questions for me. Nothing was a problem for them which set my mind at ease. I can highly recommend them.
Ron DI googled a lot of businesses first and HVP&B were also local to the area.
I have lived in the Hunter area for my whole life and had recently decided to down-size from my acreage to something more manageable. I was looking at a property on 2 acres with a smaller house and my Conveyancer suggested a Pest and Building Inspection. Being on acreage, there were quite a few trees and I knew there was a risk of termites so I didn't want to buy a house that had a nest in it! I googled a lot of businesses first and HVP&B were also local to the area. I wanted to support a local business so I went ahead and booked online. They were great at confirming it all and arranged the inspection for me (I didn't have to do any of that). My reports were emailed to me the day after the inspection and I found them comprehensive but easy to read. The inspector had found termite activity on the property, but luckily nothing in the house. Many thanks to Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections! Support a local!
Y LionsThanks again to the inspector who answered my many questions!
HVP&B Inspections were very helpful when I needed an inspection at the last minute. They handled my initial enquiry professionally and once I had booked online, they followed up with an email and phone call to confirm some details I had left off the booking. The reports were emailed the day after the inspection and they also emailed them to my Conveyancer. So I didn't have to do much at all, really. Thanks again to the inspector who answered my many questions!
A & T GarrettThe inspector who carried them out was very helpful and answered questions for us after we had read the reports
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did our pre-purchase inspections when we bought a house in Singleton last year. The inspector who carried them out was very helpful and answered questions for us after we had read the reports and explained a couple of things we weren't sure about. I can highly recommend them.
M. PloughmanThey actually did my inspection the same day and I received my reports by lunch the following day.
My parents were helping me with house hunting for my first property and when I found what I had wanted, they also told me to get Pest and Building Inspections done. Of course, I had no idea how important these were so just kind of agreed, and didn't do anything about it. That was until my Conveyancer stressed that they 'need to be done asap!' I must admit I panicked a bit as I only had a few days left before my cooling off period ended. I cursed myself for leaving it too long (and it was just before everyone went on holidays) but luckily HVP&B came to my rescue. Initially they were't able to fit me in, but the secretary called me back about half an hour after my initial call to say someone had cancelled last minute & did I want their spot? Ummm...YES!!!! Woohoo. Crisis averted (as long as there was nothing majorly wrong with the house). They actually did my inspection the same day and I received my reports by lunch the following day. They emailed the reports to my Conveyancer as well so she was able to look over them too. Nothing major wrong (thank goodness) and only a few items that needed looking at. So next time my parents tell me to get something done maybe I'll listen.
Teressa MVery fast turn-around considering all the areas they covered in the reports.
My son is a builder and recommended Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to me. I wasn't building a house, but buying a near new house in Cessnock so needed Pest and Building Inspections completed before my cooling off period expired. They inspected the house and had the reports to me the next day. Very fast turn-around considering all the areas they covered in the reports. There were a few areas in the house that needed attention but now that I'm aware of the issues, I can address them with the Real Estate first.
Stephan YHunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were great.
I didn't realise that my Pest and Building Inspection would be so in-depth when I booked it in! It covered everything I thought it would, and more. I was very impressed with the photos in the reports and also the suggested repairs. It gave me a better idea of how much I would need to fork out on repairs when I moved in. Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were great.
Adam and Janelle GWe would definitely recommend getting a Handover Inspection done if you are building.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did our Handover inspection when we built in North Rothbury. We had completed PC with the builder 2 days before the inspection and they only picked up on a couple of things that needed to be fixed. The inspector who did our report picked up over half a dozen extra defects that the builder hadn't told us about! We are so thankful that we had the inspection done and are currently waiting for the extra things to be fixed so we can finally get the keys and move in. We would definitely recommend getting a Handover Inspection done if you are building.
Mark PI googled quite a few Pest and Building Inspectors before deciding to use Hunter Valley Pest and Building for our inspections.
I googled quite a few Pest and Building Inspectors before deciding to use Hunter Valley Pest and Building for our inspections. Their website was pretty cool and the reviews were good. I booked online and left it up to them to do the rest! They booked it in with the real estate, attended the inspection and then a day after that I was emailed my reports! Pretty efficient and I didn't have to lift a finger. My reports covered everything and they sent a copy to my conveyancer who was also impressed. Can highly recommend their business.
Belinda WI can highly recommend their services, and their quick response times.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did my pre-purchase inspections on a house I was looking at in North Rothbury. I was pleasantly surprised at how much the reports actually covered. The inspector must have spent a few hours at the house to cover what was in the reports. They also included photos so you could get a better idea of what exactly they were referring to. I can highly recommend their services, and their quick response times.
S. DunnHunter Valley Pest and Building came and completed inspections at our property when we were selling.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building came and completed inspections at our property when we were selling. The inspector was on time, very polite (even took his shoes off at the front door) and I didn't feel like someone was 'invading my space' while he was in my home. We sold our beautiful home and are now looking to buy in another area of the Hunter but I have already checked that I can book HVP&B for our inspections!
W & P LawsonHad we not got these inspections done, we would have been out of pocket thousands of dollars.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections saved us from a bad property investment. We had looked at the property a few times and were going ahead with the purchase when our Conveyancer suggested Pre-purchase inspections. We didn't really think there was much to worry about. Until the inspector phoned us after he had finished and told us the house was out of level, piers had sunk and there was evidence of termites! What a shock! Had we not got these inspections done, we would have been out of pocket thousands of dollars. We are ever so thankful for your help.
S & H RomaneThe day came round when my inspection was booked in and it was absolutely pouring rain!
I had booked Inspections with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections at a property I was looking at buying in Aberdare. The day came round when my inspection was booked in and it was absolutely pouring rain! I really thought that they would call me and tell me it had to be re-scheduled, but they still went ahead and completed them! I was pretty impressed. My reports were emailed in a timely manner and I guess it was a good thing it rained as they picked up a couple of leaks in the roof (it hasn't rained much out there in a while). Very happy with everything and can highly recommend them. Thank you.
Adam HThe inspector was professional over the phone and my reports were informative.
I bought a house in Cessnock and had Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections do the pre-purchase inspections for me. I was pretty happy with them and their booking procedures. The inspector was professional over the phone and my reports were informative. Great job!
Grant PThe tenants had been having trouble with moisture and mould inside the house so I needed to get it checked asap.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections came an did an Inspection at a property I owned in Maitland. The tenants had been having trouble with moisture and mould inside the house so I needed to get it checked asap. The inspector showed up on time and used his moisture meter to take readings on the walls. The report that was provided afterwards was very helpful and outlined suggested methods of how to amend the problem. I followed up immediately with a builder and now almost 6 months on we haven't had any more isssues. Thanks for your help.
H GainsI bought a house in Gillieston Heights and had Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections come and do pre-purchase inspections for me.
I bought a house in Gillieston Heights and had Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections come and do pre-purchase inspections for me. My Conveyancer had recommended them and I found the whole booking process easy so all I had to do was wait for my reports. They came via email the day after my inspection. I was very happy with everything and can highly recommend them.
James & Fiona WBeing first home buyers we weren't sure of the process but the staff and the inspector were patient and very helpful.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections came and did inspections for us on a property we were looking at purchasing in Kurri Kurri. Being first home buyers we weren't sure of the process but the staff and the inspector were patient and very helpful. Our reports were sent to us via email and they were easy to read, included photos and we were able to speak with the inspector if there was anything we didn't understand. Our Conveyancer was impressed as well. We will pass on your details to anyone we know buying property.
D WellsHunter Valley Pest and Building had great reviews and when I mentioned them to my Conveyancer they also gave them the thumbs up.
I was trying to keep costs at a minimum with every detail of my property purchase but felt going 'cheap' on a Pest and Building Inspection was not a great idea. I had heard the stories of people moving into new houses and they found termites and others who purchased and rented the property out only for the tenants to complain of mould on the walls and ceilings due to damp problems. I wanted someone who had a great reputation and was going to look at the property with a fine-tooth comb. Hunter Valley Pest and Building had great reviews and when I mentioned them to my Conveyancer they also gave them the thumbs up. It took leess than a week to book my inspection in, have it done and receive my reports. Good turn around. Reports were easy to read and they also emailed them directly to my conveyancer. If you are looking at buying, don't scrimp on your inspections. You might as well be buying blind.
G. BonnellThey were prompt with their replies and I didn't wait long for my reports to be emailed.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections completed inspections for me recently on a property I was loking at in Rutherford. They were prompt with their replies and I didn't wait long for my reports to be emailed. Overall an easy and painless experience as I was lucky there were only a few defects at the house.
Neil and Gayle BOur report wasn't very favourable for the builder. There were many things that needed fixing before we could move in.
I needed a Handover Inspection done as the build of my new house was almost complete. Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections had been recommended to me by a colleague, so I booked them in. They had trouble with the builder first of all - he wasn't going to let them come and do the inspection. When he agreed (legally, he had to) he followed the poor inspector around like a bad smell. I realise now why - our report wasn't very favourable for the builder. There were many things that needed fixing before we could move in. Right now we are waiting for them to finish up and hopefully we can move in before christmas!
G & F TimsThanks to HVP&B Inspections for our very in-depth Pest and Building reports.
Thanks to HVP&B Inspections for our very in-depth Pest and Building reports. We were looking at purchasing a property in Maitland and had Hunter Valley come and do inspections for us. Thankfully we did as they found termites and the owners hadn't been keeping up to date with their pest treatments. We are now looking at other properties, but will be giving Hunter Valley Pest and Building a call again!
T & B ScanlonWe were that happy with them that we will get them to come and do inspections when we are ready to buy our next place.
HVP&B came and did inspections for us on our house before we sold it. The inspector was prompt and very polite. We received our reports the day after the inspection and we used them at our open house that weekend. We were that happy with them that we will get them to come and do inspections when we are ready to buy our next place.
Anne TVery professional.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were very helpful when I had a Pest and Building Inspection done recently. The staff were friendly on the phone. The inspector also answered some questions I had once I read the reports. Very professional. Thank you.
AnonymousI was relieved to find someone who did do Meth Testing on properties and was also impressed with their Pest and Building Reports.
I recently looked at purchasing a property, but found the previous tenants were a bit concerning. I rang Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to see if they did Meth Testing on properties. I was relieved to find someone who did do Meth Testing on properties and was also impressed with their Pest and Building Reports. I can highly recommend this service and their Testing services.
Mathew CI was very impressed with the Handover report from Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections.
I had a brand new house in Gillieston Heights I wanted inspected (a McDonalds Jones home). I was very impressed with the Handover report from Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. It allowed me to get everything fixed from the builder so that I could move into my house before Christmas.
Lyn WAll my questions were answered and it helped ease my mind.
I purchased a house in Abermain and had HVP&B Inspections come and complete my pre-purchase inspections. I had heard of them through a colleague who said they did a great job and were very thorough. My reports were emailed promptly and after I had read through them I spoke with the inspector over the phone. All my questions were answered and it helped ease my mind.
Ryan PIt was very handy for me to be able to book online (actually, my Conveyancer did it).
I had been looking at purchasing property - possibly on acreage in the Hunter for a bit of a 'sea change'. As I wasn't familiar with any businesses in the area that covered Pest and Building Inspections, I asked my Conveyancer in Sydney for some help. They had only heard of a couple of great inspectors in the area and Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections was one of them. It was very handy for me to be able to book online (actually, my Conveyancer did it). And I didn't have to worry about much else. I paid, my inspection went ahead and I received my reports (and my Conveyancer also received a copy). I was pretty happy that they covered properties on acreages and my reports still covered everything - house, shed, garage and fencing.
Robyn AMy Real Estate Agent had given me a few recommendations who to use, but I like to do my own research first.
After shopping around for an inspector local to the area I buying in, I came across Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. My Real Estate Agent had given me a few recommendations who to use, but I like to do my own research first. Their reviews were great and I just had a good feeling about using them. I wasn't disappointed. They were prompt to answer my calls and the questions I had - both before and after the inspection. I was pleasantly surprised. I can definitely recommend their services and will use them in the future.
Todd HI was very happy with the format of the report and all the inclusions.
I have used Pest and Building Inspectors in the past for previous property purchases but Hunter Valley Pest and Building were very professional and approachable. And their website was one of the best I've seen (I work in I.T). I was very happy with the format of the report and all the inclusions. A great job!
Timothy LThe whole process was very easy and within 4 days my booking had been confirmed and I had received my reports.
I heard of Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections from a colleague who had used them for a Handover Inspection. I needed Pest and Building Inspections done on a property near Pokolbin and liked what I read on their website so made a booking. The whole process was very easy and within 4 days my booking had been confirmed and I had received my reports. The inspector was also happy to answer questions I had in regards to a few defects he had picked up at the property. I'll be passing round their details to anyone wanting inspections done.
G ThomsIt was great to use a local company
I bought a house in Branxton and used Hunter Valley Pest and Building for my pre-purchase inspections. It was great to use a local company - someone who was familiar with the Hunter region and had done many inspections all over the area. I was more than happy with my reports and the inspector was friendly and very knowledgable. I highly recommend them.
M&C George I booked my inspection online over the weekend and they confirmed Monday when they were booked in to do it.
I found out about Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections through friends who used them about 6 months ago. I booked my inspection online over the weekend and they confirmed Monday when they were booked in to do it. Their response time was excellent. My reports were emailed the day after my inspection and I spoke with the inspector in regards to a couple of things and he was very helpful. A great experience.
Chris TWe have used this company to do several inspections as when you're on a good thing - stick to it!
We have used this company to do several inspections as when you're on a good thing - stick to it! The last property we had inspected showed some alarming matters so we did not proceed with the purchase but we will definitely use this company again when we find something else.
Grant and Fiona WHunter Valley Pest and Building Inspection's website was amazing
We searched the internet and went by the businesses with the best websites and found that Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspection's website was amazing, and followed up with their amazing Pest and Building reports. My wife and I met the inspector onsite and he was very friendly and it was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this company. Five stars!
T. YoungWorth every cent and saved me thousands of $$ in renovation costs as I was able to negotiate with the vendors using the reports.
Thanks to Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for such a thorough Pest and Building Inspection on a house I was looking at in Bolwarra. Worth every cent and saved me thousands of $$ in renovation costs as I was able to negotiate with the vendors using the reports. Even my Conveyancer was amazed at how extensive your reports were. I'm sure she will use you in the future.
L. ReeveWhat a shock I got when they picked up so many little things wrong that the original inspector missed!
I purchased a house in Branxton a while ago but was having little issues with different things here and there, and wanted to do some renovations, so I decided to have another inspection done (with a different inspector). I contacted Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to come out and have a look at my house. What a shock I got when they picked up so many little things wrong that the original inspector missed! Plus the fact that the floor was uneven in one room. Also not mentioned in my original reports was that all the excess timber in the subfloor should be removed because it attracts termites. I'm currently spending my weekends tidying up under the house and renovating. I'll be throwing around HVP&B's details to anyone who will listen (not the other guy now).
Tracy FSo grateful I came across their website when I was googling.
If you're sick of getting inspections and they say 'yep, it's good' as your feedback afterwards, you need to call Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections! It was so refreshing to have someone call me after my inspections were completed and tell me what needed fixing! It gave me a chance to go back to the property and look again, then tell the agent what my offer was. So grateful I came across their website when I was googling.
P Dean All round, I am very happy with the service that they have provided and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Before I actually bought a house, I did some homework and looked around at Pest and Building Inspectors. There were a few that were cheap and could fit me in on the same day if I needed, some had bad reviews, others were just rude. Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections didn't fit any of these catergories. They were booked out a couple of days in front (busy - good sign), they had done a lot of inspections in the area I was looking at (Aberglasslyn/Rutherford) and they answered all my questions! I didn't need to book an inspection for a month or so after speaking with them but they were just as nice when I did call them again. My reports were very thorough and included colour photos. All round, I am very happy with the service that they have provided and would highly recommend them to anyone.
W and F ThorntonThey (the reports) had colour photos, lists of the defects and suggested ways of fixing them.
The last time we had a Pest and Building Inspection done, the inspector just breezed over everything - our report was about 20 pages long. Since then we have seen a few at open houses covering more items but the one that impressed us the most was from Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. They (the reports) had colour photos, lists of the defects and suggested ways of fixing them. We had them come and do an inspection for us at a house in Heddon Greta and the reports were just as well presented and about 43 pages in comparison to the first one we'd ever had! Thanks for your amazing service, and fast turn-around.
Jason and Harmony WWe were more than happy with their entire service
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were used by friends of ours who said they were great so when it came time for a Pest and Building Inspection on a property we were buying in Bolwarra Heights, we knew who to contact. They were very patient with all our queries about the property and included a lot of things in the reports that I probably wouldn't have thought of. We were more than happy with their entire service and will be passing on their details to anyone we know who is buying.
Jenelle YHVP&B were able to book the inspection in for me within a few days.
I had looked at a couple of properties in Gillieston Heights before I found one I was very interested in purchasing so I contacted Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections straight away. From what I had learned from other people, I needed to book in an inspection asap to have the best chance at securing a property. HVP&B were able to book the inspection in for me within a few days. The reports covered a lot of things and were very impressive. Luckily there were only a few minor things with the house & property (it was a newer house) and everything went smoothly. Thanks to Hunter Valley for their help and I'm so glad I didn't procrastinate booking in.
Sam WI had a Pest and Building Inspection booked in with another company in Maitland and they didn't show up!
I had a Pest and Building Inspection booked in with another company in Maitland and they didn't show up! So I was stuck as I needed the inspection done within the next couple of days. I googled. A few places looked iffy and I rang a few places - most weren't able to do it within my time frame. Hunter Valley Pest and Building was booked out too but they rang me back about half an hour after I spoke to them and they'd had a last minute cancellation! I was so grateful. They fitted in my inspection the next day, and I received the reports the day after that. Their reports were very informative and covered more than I initially thought. I'm glad they phoned me back!
Sam WThanks HVP&B - great reports, great service!
I had a couple of friends recommend Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to me after they had bpught property and built new houses. Their reviews were also very good so when I needed a Pest and Building Inspection done on a house I was buying in Cessnock, I knew who to get. I easily booked everything online and they did the rest. My reports were emailed through a few days later which I looked through and noted different things I wanted fixed before I moved in. Thanks HVP&B - great reports, great service!
K & L FischerWe were very keen on buying the house so asked to get a re-issued copy of the reports and received them later that day
We were at an open house in Kurri Kurri and the agent had a copy of the Pest and Building Inspection Reports for the property available that had been completed earlier in the week. We noted the name of the company (Hunter Valley Pest and Building) and gave them a call after we got to the car to enquire about getting our own copy of the reports. They were very polite and explained the process of re-issuing the reports and putting them into our names. We were very keen on buying the house so asked to get a re-issued copy of the reports and received them later that day. They were very easy to read and had the defects outlined and some photos were included. This enabled us to be prepared with an offer the next day. Glad we knew about the reports being done prior. What a great idea!
Allison and Graham WilshawThe agents hated us using another inspector other than the guy they recommended.
Hi when we informed the agent we were using your company to perform our Pest and Building reports in Maitland he was very upset demanding that we used the guy he recommended. We are from Sydney so wiser to that and insisted on an independent inspector. Your office was very helpful and easy to have your company organize the access it was very helpful to know that we had chosen a company that provides a great service. The reports were fantastic, we will keep the reports as guide to the required repairs as we renovate the old dwelling back to its formal glory. The thermal imaging was amazing and thankfully detected old termite damage we would not have been aware of which allowed a further negotiation before signing the dotted line in purchasing the property.
J and P Bishop The Best Company In The Hunter For Pesst and Building Inspections
We recently used your services to have the property we were buying as an investment for as bed and breakfast inspected buy your company. All I can say is we were extremely grateful for the detailed reports and your expertise. The reports were invaluable in the negotiation process which was favourable towards receiving a price reduction in our favour. You sure get what you pay for in this day and age and yes, your inspections and service is premium as advertised. *text in italic*
J MorganThe inspector picked up on quite a few things that I didn't see - like the house being out of level!
I was hesitant to get a Pest and Building Inspection done. I figured it was a waste of money. My Conveyancer convinced me otherwise. Still hesitant, I got online and looked at a few websites and reviews. Hunter Valley Pest and Building seemed good and it was convenient for me to book online. I waited for my reports hoping (praying) there was nothing wrong (of course there would be nothing wrong - I wasted my money didn't I?). Well, it turns out they aren't a waste of money. The inspector picked up on quite a few things that I didn't see - like the house being out of level! That was quite a significant problem for me and we actually negotiated a better price with the vendors after I found this out. What can I say, except Money Well Spent? Thank goodness for my Conveyancer and Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections.
Amie & Mitchell PThey answered any questions we had and our reports were prompt and well presented.
We were very happy with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. We had Pest and Building Inspections done at a house in Maitland. They answered any questions we had and our reports were prompt and well presented. We can highly recommend their services.
H. JonesThey also included answers to questions that I had included in my online booking of areas I wanted checked.
I used Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections a few months ago to complete Pre-Purchase inspections on a house I bought in Bellbird. They emailed my reports the day after I had the inspection done and they also included answers to questions that I had included in my online booking of areas I wanted checked. Very thorough in my opinion. I would recommend them to anyone.
P. NewmanHVP&B completed a Handover Inspection for me at the house I was building in North Rothbury.
HVP&B completed a Handover Inspection for me at the house I was building in North Rothbury. They arrived on time, completed my long list of queries on the house and emailed my report the next day! They were really polite and professional. I would recommend anyone building a house to get a Handover Inspection done - they found so many things that the builder had said were satisfactory - and they weren't! I'm glad I took the time to get this done.
Matt UMy inspections were completely promptly and efficiently and the reports received within a day.
Very happy with the service provided by Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. My inspections were completely promptly and efficiently and the reports received within a day. There were no major dramas with the house I was looking at in Cessnock so I was very grateful for that. Thanks & I will pass on your details to anyone buying.
L KnightHunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections squeezed an inspection in for me on a weekend!
I might have left it almost too late to get my Pest and Building Inspections done with only 4 days left in my cooling off period, but Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections squeezed an inspection in for me on a weekend! I was so thankful. I had my report the day after and my Conveyancer also breathed a sigh of relief. If there is a 'next time' I won't leave it till the last minute - I'll be calling HVP&B as soon as I leave the Real Estate office!
Dan PI liked their website and feedback seemed good.
I looked at a few Inspectors before booking with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. I liked their website and feedback seemed good. Everything went smoothly and my reports were not surprising (I had some idea that there would be faults - nothing's perfect, right?). Loved the inclusion of colour photos too. Many thanks.
Denis TMore than happy with the ease of booking online and receiving my reports the day after my inspection.
More than happy with the ease of booking online and receiving my reports the day after my inspection. Hunter Valley Pest and Building have lived up to their repuation for me. Thank you.
Frank LHunter Valley Pest and Building did an inspection for me at a house in Singleton.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building did an inspection for me at a house in Singleton. I didn't find many inspectors who travelled that far and looking at their website, they travel to Hunter towns quite regularly. It was good to find someone who had knowledge of the area. Everything else went smoothly. My inspection was completed in a timely manner and I received the reports the day after. Thanks guys. Will be passing on your great work to fellow house hunters.
Michael W I booked online and they contacted me not long after with confirmation of my inspection day.
I had to get a Pest and Building Inspection done on a house in Kurri Kurri that I'd put a deposit on. I came across Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections and checked out their website. I liked what I read and was impressed with their experience. I booked online and they contacted me not long after with confirmation of my inspection day. I was happy with the reports even though there were a few items that he had picked up on that I had missed when I had looked at the house. I can highly recommend their service.
K SullivanThey offer a knowledgable and thorough service from the initital booking to the inspection.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections are fantastic! They offer a knowledgable and thorough service from the initital booking to the inspection. They are able to explain everything to you after receive the reports as well. Very quick turn around from inspection to receiving the reports. Highly recommended!
Diane SThey saved me from purchasing a very expensive-to-fix home when I was under pressure from agents and lawyers.
These guys are absolutely awesome! They saved me from purchasing a very expensive-to-fix home when I was under pressure from agents and lawyers. They came though with the reports I needed, when I needed them. Diligent, reliable and honest, I wouldn't hesitate to pass their details on to anyone who needs a Pest and Building Inspection done. Thanks to Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections.
Michelle AThe inspector was thoughful and gave us time at the end of the inspection to chat to us about different things he had noted.
I unfortunately had to sell my mums house in Heddon Greta as she needed to go into a nursing home. Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections came and did a Pest and Building Inspection for us so we could get the property ready to sell. They were wonderful! They fit in around us having to travel to the house to let them in and were mindful of my mums things still in the house. The inspector was thoughful and gave us time at the end of the inspection to chat to us about different things he had noted. We are trying to get most items repaired and will get them back out to re-inspect the house once we're done to update the reports. Thank you for all your help.
Darren FI found the inclusion of photographs in the reports invaluable as you could see what the defect was that was being referred to.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections carried out Pre-Purchase inspections for me on a recent property purchase in Weston. I found the inclusion of photographs in the reports invaluable as you could see what the defect was that was being referred to. I also called the inspector a couple of days afterwards to go over a few things and they were more than happy to chat on the phone. Overall a great experience for me and I can highly recommend their services.
P & Y SmitsI received my reports in a timely manner and even though the house wasn't very old there were still a few minor items that they picked up on that needed repairs.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections was recommended to me by a friend who recently had them complete inspections. I was looking at purchasing a property in Chisholm, so I booked them in to do Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspections. I received my reports in a timely manner and even though the house wasn't very old there were still a few minor items that they picked up on that needed repairs. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome and put in my offer on the house.
H IngramI was more than happy with the time frame between booking the inspections to getting the reports emailed to me.
I found Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to be prompt, courteous and honest when I had my inspections booked in a couple of weeks ago. I was more than happy with the time frame between booking the inspections to getting the reports emailed to me. Very happy to recommend them to potential home buyers.
L PowellThe most important service they offer is peace of mind.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections performed an inspection for our new build earlier this year in North Rothbury. Their professionalism, vast knowledge, attention to detail and advice are some of the reasons that I recommend them to anyone building a new house. However, the most important service they offer is peace of mind. I would (and do) highly recommend HVPB Inspections to anyone that is looking to build a new home.
T & Y JonesHunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were able to help me by being prompt on both the inspection and the report on a property I was buying in Cessnock.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were able to help me by being prompt on both the inspection and the report on a property I was buying in Cessnock. The report was emailed out the next day complete with photos, explanations, severity of defects and repairs needed and was presented in a very objective manner. Highly recommended. The house that we were planning to buy seemed attractive as it appeared to be a bargain. But with the report, it came clear that it will cost us more in the long term if we were to go ahead with the purchase. Saved us a lot of trouble and money.
Mr & Mrs T EverestThe reports identified issues that we would never have known about, which allowed us to follow up with the builder during warranty period.
We booked a Defects Inspection and were really happy with the service from Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections and have been recommending them to family and friends who are building. The reports identified issues that we would never have known about, which allowed us to follow up with the builder during warranty period. The service was outstanding. The inspector went out of his way to turn around the report ASAP for us so that we could use it to speak to the builder. Highly recommend this company!
Simon KThey used clear simple explanations in the reports so that someone (like me) without a building background could understand.
I used Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for multiple properties during my house search in the Maitland / Rutherford areas. They were extremely prompt and thorough with inspections. They were also incredibly helpful with follow-up phone calls after inspections where I could talk through any issues raised and understand what / if any remediation was required. They used clear simple explanations in the reports so that someone (like me) without a building background could understand. This was invaluable when considering the properties I was looking at and it set my mind at ease and gave me a first few little maintenance jobs once I moved in. No hesitation in recommending them!
Jill & Anthony SThe reports were above the standard we expected and covered more areas of the property than we realised.
Thanks HVP&B! The reports were above the standard we expected and covered more areas of the property than we realised. Very Happy with the service you have provided and will recommend you to anyone.
M & Y ThomasWe weren't expecting that they would find much wrong, and there were only a few problems, but we wouldn't buy a house without getting an inspection!
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did inspections for us on a house we bought in Metford. We weren't expecting that they would find much wrong, and there were only a few problems, but we wouldn't buy a house without getting an inspection! So many things could be wrong, and you'd never know. We are so glad we had someone so professional and courteous do ours. We can highly recommend these guys!
Susan PI found Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were local and they had great reviews.
I was buying a property in Pokolbin and looked online for an awesome inspector. I found Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were local and they had great reviews. My conveyancer also said they had used them a few times too. Happy with the reports arriving via email the day after my inspection - they also emailed them directly to my Conveyancer. They have lived up to their reviews online! Add my recommendation to the list!
Sam JVery happy with the detail in the reports
Thank you Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections! The booking process was quick and easy online and receiving the reports via email made it all very streamlined for me. Very happy with the detail in the reports as well. Highly recommended.
Geoff CI had the reports emailed and paid a bit extra to get a hard copy as well so my agent could show anyone interested at the open houses.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did a recent inspection at my house as I was planning on selling. My real estate agent suggested I get the reports done prior to selling so I knew (and possible potential buyers knew) up front what needed repairs and the overall condition of the house. There was nothing 'hidden' that way - I could be open and honest. It was a great idea. I had the reports emailed and paid a bit extra to get a hard copy as well so my agent could show anyone interested at the open houses. Right now, there are 2 interested buyers so I couldn't be happier. Thank you for your help and expertise.
Matthew GI was impressed with their prompt service.
I had a Pest and Building Inspection done about 6 months ago in Glendale with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. I was impressed with their prompt service. I booked online and they contacted me the next day to let me know it was all booked in and I received the reports via email the day after they did it. I can highly recommend them.
Jennifer WGreat service and price for peace of mind.
I 'ummed and ahhed' over whether to get a Pest and Building Inspection done and wondered if it was worth the money. And then I thought 'what if I don't get it done and there's something really wrong?' Buying property is such a huge investment so I looked at Hunter Valley Pest and Building online and was impressed with their website and turn-around of reports. There were only a few smaller things that needed repairs on the house I was looking at, but at least now I can sleep at night knowing that the roof isn't going to fall in on me or something like that! Great service and price for peace of mind.
Justine & James TWe were able to go back to our builder and show him exactly what was wrong and we are now in the process of having things rectified.
We chose Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to complete our Handover Inspection for a house we were building in Weston. We'd had so many dramas and set backs, it was really getting quite stressful. A friend suggested I have an independent inspection completed and gave me the details for HVP&B. Our building company wouldn't let us be onsite while they completed our inspection, but once we received our reports and had a good read of them, we gave the inspector a call. There were so many more issues than we realised! I'm ever so grateful to them for completing the inspection. We were able to go back to our builder and show him exactly what was wrong and we are now in the process of having things rectified. Thanks so much.
Melanie and David SWish the buying process was as simple!
HVP&B were great! Booked in with ease, received reports with ease and luckily the house we were buying in Metford didn't have many issues. Wish the buying process was as simple! Thanks for your efficient service.
Hamish DThey had an impressive website and it was easy to book the inspection online after I had got home late from work.
I was buying a house in Heddon Greta so I looked at Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. They had an impressive website and it was easy to book the inspection online after I had got home late from work. My inspection was all booked in and ready to go when they contacted me and I had the reports the day after the inspection. Very happy with the reports and the prompt service. Highly recommended.
T and G HampsonAll up we were happy with the service they provided
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections was recommended to us by a colleague who had used them to do a Special Purpose report on dampness in their house. We were buying a house in Telarah so needed Pre-Purchase Inspections done. We booked online and after they completed it, the reports were emailed to us the next day. Everything went smoothly, there were a few things that needed attention, but nothing we baulked at. All up we were happy with the service they provided and happy that our friend had given us a great recommendation.
Jason & Emily THunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections completed our Handover Inspection
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections completed our Handover Inspection when we were completing a new build in Aberglasslyn. The report was quite impressive - it covered all rooms in the house and they even picked up on things that we didn't see. Well worth the money to have this done!
P & T HoweWe bought a unit in Newcastle and can highly recommend their services to anyone!
We were very happy with the Building Inspection from Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. We bought a unit in Newcastle and can highly recommend their services to anyone!
Name witheldBeing a Real Estate Agent, I know who to use and who not to use when it comes to Pest and Building Inspections.
Being a Real Estate Agent, I know who to use and who not to use when it comes to Pest and Building Inspections. I was buying my own property and knew Hunter Valley Pest and Building were the people to go to if I wanted a thorough job done. They are prompt, professional and very easy to deal with. I was grateful for the 24 hour turn-around of the reports and being able to discuss findings with the inspector. I might not recommend them to my clients as they might be too thorough!
F JonesI was more than happy with the quality, photos included and itemised areas of concern.
I looked at a property that was going to Auction in Hamilton and needed some Pest and Building Inspections done before auction day. Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections website impressed me. As did their reviews. I work full time and it was great that I could book it online, after 'business hours'. Their reports came via email after the inspection and I was more than happy with the quality, photos included and itemised areas of concern. Reports in hand, I was confident enough to put an offer in before auction day which was accepted. Very pleased with their whole business. Thank you.
Susan and David GHunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were so helpful!
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were so helpful! We didn't really have any idea about the inspections that we needed until our conveyancer told us to get them done. She recommended HVP&B and we booked our inspections online through their website. Their secretary followed up with a phone call to us and they had already made arrangements with the Real Estate to get the inspections done! We had copies of our reports the day after the inspection and they emailed them to our conveyancer as well. We can highly recommend their services (as does our conveyancer!).
H ArnoldYour reports are very, very comprehensive and the detail was excellent.
It gave me great confidence to know I had a premium inspection company on the job as this is the largest investment I have ever made, so paying an extra $50 to make sure I had a proper pest and building inspection was well worth the peace of mind. Your reports are very, very comprehensive and the detail was excellent. Your Hunter Valley Pest and Building inspection web site says it all being such a modern, user friendly online booking form; I was able to book at night as being a shift worker, office hours is hard to be able to phone and organize. Excellent all round.
Dean and Gina PWe booked Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to come and complete a Defects Inspection for us.
We recently completed building our new house in Raymond Terrace and had moved in. Once we moved in however, there were a few little things that we picked up on that hadn't been done properly. We booked Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to come and complete a Defects Inspection for us. And aren't we glad we did that! They picked up on quite a few more defects throughout the house that we hadn't noticed. Once we received the report we were then able to go back to our builder and show them and have the issues fixed. We are so thankful that we were able to have them come out and do the inspection so promptly. We will recommend their services to everyone!
P & R TynesWe were also provided proper written reports via email that were precise, easy to read and included photos.
We had Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections inspect our property purchase in Cameron Park. They were in touch with us after the inspection and highlighted different things we hadn't even seen. We were also provided proper written reports via email that were precise, easy to read and included photos. The inspector told us he was available anytime for a chat about the report and I phoned him a couple of times to discuss things, each time he was friendly and a wealth of knowledge! We can't recommend Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections enough. Great job.
Sam and Kevin SThey provided us with comprehensive Pest and Building Inspection reports on a property we were purchasing
If you are buying a property and need an inspection/advice, I strongly advise you to contact Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. They provided us with comprehensive Pest and Building Inspection reports on a property we were purchasing in Singleton, giving us peace of mind on the next step. The inspector was not only professional but courteous and extremely patient especially with all the questions we had. I can highly recommend them.
Mr T JonesI have already recommended this company to others because of my satisfaction with their service!
I was recommended to use Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections by a friend. I recently purchased an older property in Maitland so Building and Pest inspections were quite important. HVP&B was incredibly easy to organise and I found the inspector very professional, thorough and exceeded my expectations. This also included talking through the report with any questions I had afterwards. I have already recommended this company to others because of my satisfaction with their service!
Samantha WVERY thorough and professional inspections and assessments.
I can highly recommend Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for your future home/investment purchase. VERY thorough and professional inspections and assessments. Not only are you provided with a detailed report, but photos are also included to show specific areas of concern. Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections brought to my attention many things that we need to be mindful of with any future purchases. We move into our new property in Kurri Kurri in 4 weeks!! Thank you.
Grant WThe inspector had pointed out even the minute defects and gave reasons why it is important to fix them.
I booked Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections to complete a Handover inspection on my new house construction in Ashtonfield. I received my reports via email the day after the inspection. The inspector had pointed out even the minute defects and gave reasons why it is important to fix them. Being my first dream home with naked eyes, without HVP&B I can see I wouldn’t have had built it properly. Thanks
Lily & Geoff BYour reports were far superior. Thank you for your help.
Many thanks to the inspector at Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for the comprehensive Pest and Building reports we received for a property in Bellbird. We have found them most valuable. Of particular note is that we had seen other reports prepared for the same property which were woefully inadequate in comparison. Your reports were far superior. Thank you for your help.
Mr & Mrs C ScottMy experience with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections was excellent!
My experience with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections was excellent! We were under time pressure with an upcoming auction in Merewether only a few days away and thankfully they were able to fit us in at the last minute due to a cancellation. They completed both Pest and Building Inspections at the property and provided us with the reports the next day, which far exceeded our expectations. They also followed up with a phone call to explain the report further, and answer any questions we had. They were lovely to deal with and provided a lot of comfort with the answers we were after. I highly recommend HVP&B and would not hesitate to use their services again. Thank you!
Anthony DWe researched and found Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections.
We were investing a huge amount of money into buying a property in Pokolbin that seemed like a good investment opportunity for us. We researched and found Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. They did complete Pest and Building Inspections of the place (including the use of the Thermal Imaging camera) and gave us a complete report for us to take the next step. We were so glad there were no big problems with the property, and it was safe to move ahead with the deal. I believe it is better to have the peace of mind rather than end up losing money after making a deal with half the information.
Mr & Mrs F SutcliffeAfter talking to many companies I found Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were by far the nicest and most knowledgeable.
We had just bought a house in Metford and I called alot of people to find a good and trustworthy Pest and Building Inspector. After talking to many companies I found Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were by far the nicest and most knowledgeable. I attended the property after they completed the inspection and I was quite impressed with the attention to detail and how thorough they were. My reports were emailed to me the next day and they included photos of some of the defects in the house. Buying a house is very stressful and having the reassurance that there is nothing major wrong with it from a reliable company/inspector has been a massive relief. I would highly recommend using Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections because if there is a problem they will not only find it but will explain it in detail and also how it can be fixed. Thank you for all your help, we will definitely be using you again in the future.
Mr & Mrs W ParkerWe were very impressed by Hunter Valley Pest and Building and would certainly use them again.
Initially we came across Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections when they undertook an inspection for the buyers of a house we were selling in Cessnock. They were very practical and professional. More recently, we used them ourselves to inspect a house we were purchasing in Weston. We didn't give much notice but they moved quickly to prepare Pest and Building Reports which we needed within a short time frame in order to secure the property. We were very impressed by Hunter Valley Pest and Building and would certainly use them again.
Mr G HodgesI contacted Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections and they were happy to do a 'Special Purpose' inspection for me
I bought a house in Maitland wanted an inspection done so I knew if I could remove certain walls and do further renovations. I contacted Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections and they were happy to do a 'Special Purpose' inspection for me covering these items. They showed up on time, listened to what I wanted to do, took photos and made recommendations. Overall, they were there for a couple of hours - so quite thorough as well. I'm glad I took the time to get them out and have the reports done. Fingers crossed I can get a builder to show up on time now! Thanks for your help.
Mr K MearsI can say without a doubt that I will be using these guys again.
My search for another rental property in Beresfield led me to having my Pest and Building Inspections completed by Hunter Valley Pest and Building. I had used another company previously but wasn't entirely happy with them. HVP&B were recommended to me by someone who had used them before. They were great! Went over the whole property with a fine-tooth comb and had my reports emailed directly to me the following day. Very prompt! I can say without a doubt that I will be using these guys again.
Mr K O'BrienThe reports were straight forward and easy to understand.
I needed Pest and Building Inspections done quite urgently as I was nearing the cooling off period on my house. I booked online with Hunter Valley Pest and Building and was lucky enough to get my inspections completed a couple of days later, with the reports being emailed to me and my Solicitor the day after. It was great that they sent them straight to my Solicitor. It saved me having to forward them after I'd gotten home from work that night. The reports were straight forward and easy to understand. Thanks HVP&B!
Mr G SlateMore than happy with them and the inspector was really helpful.
I was very impressed with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. I purchased a house in Aberglasslyn and had my Pre-Purchase inspections done with them. The reports were emailed the day after my inspection and had items listed that needed fixing as well as photos. More than happy with them and the inspector was really helpful.
Mr G AinsworthThey were recommended to me by a neighbour who had recently finished building and used them for their Handover Inspection.
I was building a new house in Aberglasslyn and when my house was nearing completion, I gave Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections a call. They were recommended to me by a neighbour who had recently finished building and used them for their Handover Inspection. I wasn't happy with certain aspects of the way the house had been completed so I had my Handover Inspection done so I could go back to my site supervisor and get everything fixed before I moved in. I was more than happy with the reports as they included detailed damage and defects that needed to be amended. There were also some photos included so I knew exactly what was wrong. I'm very happy I followed up and had this done. They were very helpful and they will be highly recommended to any new neighbours who are building homes.
Mr & Mrs L SharpePrompt, professional and reliable service.
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections saved us time and money! We booked online with no problems and that was pretty much all we had to do. They arranged the inspection date and let us know so all we did was wait for the reports which were emailed to us the day after the inspection. There were no major problems with the property we were looking at in Cessnock so we were able to make a quick decsion with our Conveyancer to go ahead. Prompt, professional and reliable service.
Mr J Carr and Ms M JonesThe reports were very thorough and we are now proud new owners and love the Hunter area! Thanks to you!
My Partner and I purchased a property in Pokolbin and Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections were recommended to us by a friend. The booking process went very smoothly - all completed online and we received our reports the day after the inspection via email. The reports were very thorough and we are now proud new owners and love the Hunter area! Thanks to you!
J NicholasI was impressed with the inspector's knowledge and the turn-around of the reports (next business day).
Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections did my Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspections on a fairly new house I was buying in Aberglasslyn. I was impressed with the inspector's knowledge and the turn-around of the reports (next business day). They included defects, colour photos and gave me an overall condition report. I'm very happy with the company and would highly recommend them to anyone purchasing a property.
Chris and Mandy HenryHunter Valley Pest Inspections is a must if you require a premium inspection.
We recently used Hunter Valley Pest and Building to perform a large acreage inspection in the Cessnock area. The inspection was well worth the little bit extra as we saved over 20K in negotiations for defects we were unaware of when we agreed a price on the property. My husband and I highly recommend not penny pinching on such a large purchase.
Simone C.Couldn’t be happier
I was looking at purchasing a property in the Cliftleigh / Heddon Greta area, and everyone I spoke to (Solicitor, Hairdresser, Butcher!) said to use Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for my Pre-Purchase Inspections. So, I used HVP&B and couldn’t be happier. They were very efficient, I received my reports the next day and they emailed them to my Conveyancer as well. I work in retail, so I will be telling anyone who listens to use these guys!
Mr & Mrs P. JonesWe sold our property with the help of the reports
We were selling a house in Rutherford and our Solicitor recommended we get a Pest and Building Inspection completed prior to auction and to make sure it was from a reputable company, so buyers would know everything upfront. My wife and I were very impressed with Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections. The whole process went smoothly. The inspector brought to our attention some defects that we didn’t even know about living there. The auction went ahead, and we sold our property with the help of the reports. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend HVPB – we were more than happy with the outcome.
Name Withheld for privacyProfessional and very thorough, including photos and well explained defects
I work for the RAAF and had heard the name Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections through different colleagues on the base. The Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection reports were exactly what I wanted – professional and very thorough, including photos and well explained defects.
Mr S. BanksI wish I had used Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections in the first place
I purchased a property about 12 weeks ago and had a Pest and Building Inspection completed by someone who was recommended by the Real Estate Agent I was dealing with. After the purchase of the property had gone ahead, I was speaking with a friend who recommended Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections as I wanted to do renovations to the property. The inspection uncovered termite damage amongst other things and I’m now up for around $40,000 in repairs to things that weren’t picked up in the original report! I wish I had used Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections in the first place instead of being panicked by the agent into using his inspector. I’ll know better next time and will recommend you to all of my friends.
