Buying an investment property is always a big step, and, as investors, my partner and I know the importance of reliable information before making such commitments. When we turned to Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections for our property in Maitland, we were hoping for a clear, honest assessment—and what we got far exceeded our expectations. The inspectors weren’t just technically skilled; they actually took the time to talk us through the potential issues, especially those unique to older homes that we might have missed ourselves.
They uncovered a few hidden hazards—nothing catastrophic, but things that could have cost us thousands if left unchecked. For example, they found early signs of wood rot under an old deck and highlighted some outdated electrical wiring in need of attention. Even more impressive to us was the clarity and thoroughness of the report we received. There were plenty of clear photos, straightforward explanations of each issue, and a logical order of recommendations so we could budget and plan renovations step by step.
Their professionalism was apparent every step of the way, from prompt scheduling to the respectful way they treated both the property and our time. Their efforts have paid off for us: not only did we avoid unnecessary repairs, but their advice also helped us negotiate a better price with the seller. It’s rare to find a company you can trust entirely, but Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections have absolutely earned a permanent place in our investment toolkit. I can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone considering a property purchase in Maitland or the surrounding Hunter Valley area.
