The average time on site inspecting a dwelling and property is approximately 2 to 3 hours and then another hour in the office proofing after a typist has completed the reports. The reports include colour photos and are presented to the client in a display folder mailed directly to the client in the post. Reports are also emailed to the client and solicitor or conveyancer if email addresses are provided.
WHY THERMAL IMAGING
Using a HIGH END thermal camera, Mal can detect defects that cannot be seen by the naked eye that may prove to be costly repairs that the buyer would not have been aware of.
Thermal imaging cameras range in price and Mal being a qualified licenced builder knows that good tools do a better job so Mal’s thermal imaging camera is one of the expensive cameras costing over $30,000. Some cameras are as cheap as $3000 and would not detect as many defects.
METH TESTING
Meth testing is now commonly being performed by property managers and purchasers to see if the dwelling’s interior is contaminated with methamphetamines as unacceptable levels can cause serious illnesses and side effects similar to a user. Children are more prone to contamination as they are more likely to their rub hands on walls or lay on the floor and roll around as the methamphetamine absorbs into the body through their skin and hand and mouth contact. Adults can also be contaminated in the same manner.
A standard meth clean of a contaminated dwelling averages around $5000.00 and in cases with higher contamination this can require the entire dwelling to be stripped out of internal wall linings and floor coverings which may run into 10’s of thousands of dollars and in some cases 100’s of thousands of dollars. This is why it is important prior to making a decision to purchase a dwelling that it is not contaminated with methamphetamines. It is also important for Property Managers and Landlords to include this test to end of lease inspections.
Meth Testing Explanations:
Rapid Test – This is an onsite test that provides an instant result of negative or positive to methamphetamines being present in the area tested. This test provides 98% accuracy.
Lab NIOSH 9111 Test – this provides a test sent to a laboratory to get a level of contamination result as 0.5ug and above are not acceptable levels. This test provides knowledge to the extent of the contamination and also gives a result that if the contamination is from drug use or drug manufacturing. Lab testing has 100% accuracy.
Clearance Certificate – A Clearance Certificate is a certificate in writing provided to show that the dwelling is clear of methamphetamine contamination. This certificate can be provided after a NIOSH 9111 test of all rooms only or after a contaminated dwelling has had an adequate meth clean to clear the dwelling of contamination.
Price List:
Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection (including Thermal Imaging) including a 3 room Rapid Meth Test – $800.00 including GST. This includes a rapid meth test of any exhaust fans and air conditioners, kitchen, lounge room and main bedroom which will provide a positive or negative result on rooms that may be commonly used for drug use and/or manufacturing.
6 x Meth Rapid Tests and 3 Lab NIOSH 9111 Tests – 9 swabs (which includes 6x rapid tests and 3x NIOSH 9111 lab tests) – $770.00 including GST. This provides a negative or positive result of methamphetamines with a level of contamination. NIOSH testing takes up to a week to receive lab results and for us to provide a report.
Whole dwelling Rapid Test and Lab NIOSH 9111 Tests* – Includes the entire dwelling including all rooms and the garage (*up to 13 rooms – additional rooms, sheds or garages are $100.00 per room) – $2200.00 including GST. This includes every room in the dwelling (up to 13 rooms) for a rapid and NIOSH 9111 test and provides a clearance certificate if the results come back negative with no methamphetamine contamination. NIOSH 9111 testing takes up to a week to receive lab results and for us to provide a report.
The camera also detects heat which can be from termites and moisture from water leaks so it is essential to use someone that has a good thermal imaging camera.
Mal has been doing thermal imaging for over 12 years and has found termites and many other defects including water leaks by using thermal imaging.

To Mal Wright
Thank you for your assistance with your modern tools in my day we didn't have that sort of technologically although televisions where just released for the common person and black and white TV is all that existed. I was referred to you from 3 different people and found your services fantastic and unbelievable, thank you for demonstrating the thermal imaging camera to show me what it does. You came to our house and detected termites that recent previous pest experts did not find and you even found live termites which was scary although you provided us a pest expert to treat the dwelling and rid the termites. My wife and I are over 80 years old and yes we were very distressed with your findings however have since realized without your expertise the damage over time would of escalated and devastate our home. Do other pest experts and companies know of your tools, do you advertise and why are you not a pest expert with your knowledge?
I have told all the people at the bowling club about you and I think others should know of what the tools you have combined.

You saved me from buying a money pit.
That's for saving me from buying a money pit. After receiving your lengthy reports my father and I went through it and he was also impressed with how much time you obviously spent both onsite and in the office to be able to provide us with a 30 page pest report and a 45 page building report. The photos were excellent, really showed the damage and defects so we could see how bad it really was. The agent provided a report that the owners had done and none of the things that you picked up were in the other report which made us appreciate that we made the decision to get an independent report. Your website is great and was really easy to fill out the online booking form as we ordered the report late at night. We will be using you again when we find another property.

My reports were emailed the day after the inspection and I took a couple of days to read through them thoroughly.
Mal Wright did pre-purchase inspections for me at a house I'd put an offer on in Rutherford. I'd booked online and Mal's office took care of the booking from there. They acquired access to the property and Mal went and did the inspection within a couple of days. My reports were emailed the day after the inspection and I took a couple of days to read through them thoroughly. I called Mal a few days later and he was more than happy to answer a few questions I had. I will be passing on his name and number to anyone who needs inspections done.

We are more than happy and we will be sure to let everyone we know who is buying in ‘rural’ areas to give you a call.
My husband and I recently purchased a beautiful property in Vacy. We knew we needed a Pest and Building Inspection done but had no idea who would travel out there since it is considered 'rural'. Mal Wright to the rescue! A friend had passed on his details so we gave him a call and to our surprise, he had completed quite a few inspections out that way! We were impressed with his knowledge and assistance with all our questions after the reports had been delivered. We are more than happy and we will be sure to let everyone we know who is buying in 'rural' areas to give you a call.

Thanks Mal for your assistance at the last minute, we really appreciate it.
We completely forgot to book in a Pest and Building Inspection for a property we were buying and time was running out on our cooling off period. Luckily our Conveyancer recommended Mal Wright and he was able to squeeze in an inspection for us. The quality of the reports and his attention to detail were still great and even our Conveyancer said she was more than happy with them. Thanks Mal for your assistance at the last minute, we really appreciate it. We will recommend your services to anyone who will listen!

I would give Mal Wright’s pest and building business 5 out of 5.
I would give Mal Wright's pest and building business 5 out of 5. Both he and his secretary are very professional and answer any of your queries without you feeling stupid. He gives you a verbal after the inspection (which I appreciate as it gives you an indication of whether the property is worth you proceeding or not) which allows you to ponder on his comments before the hard copy is delivered. I must say this gets delivered very quickly. I have phoned back numerous times (with questions, some which I'm sure are totally stupid) after receiving and reading through the report and Mal answers EVERYTIME without complaint. He is more than happy to assist and is extremely knowledgeable. I have used Mal quite a number of times now, that's how good he is. I can't fault him and wouldn't use anyone else!!

Yes, it needs a bit of fixing up but I know exactly what needs to be done thanks to the reports!
Mal recently completed a Pest and Building Inspection for me on a property I was looking at in Kurri Kurri. It was an older house and I really wanted to make sure there were no major defects before I bought it. I'm glad I had Mal do the inspection as he really went over the house completely and even though there were a few minor defects (as I expected) I was very happy and went ahead with the purchase. Yes, it needs a bit of fixing up but I know exactly what needs to be done thanks to the reports! Job well done Mal. Thank you.

He probably spent close to 1.5 hours inspecting the property inside and out.
Mal had been to a house we were renting in Newcastle when it was for sale and completed the Pest and Building Inspections. I noted how professional he was when he booked the time in with us and also when he came to the house. He was very respectful and polite. He probably spent close to 1.5 hours inspecting the property inside and out. When the time came for my wife and I to buy our own home we called Mal straight away as we had been so impressed with him. This time we even more impressed as we got our reports and it noted every defect in the house, the outside covered fences, driveways and the garage. It was really in-depth. I'm so glad we had him do these reports as we can now buy knowing exactly how much money we are going to have to spend on repairs and budget accordingly. We can definitely recommend Mal Wright!

With Boundless Thanks
Dear Mal,
Please be my guest in submitting this testimonial on your web site.
Mal Wright just saved me from making the biggest financial mistake in my lifetime. In comparison to the amount of money that I invested in the building and pest inspection, it saved me hundreds and thousands of dollars and also saved me from mountains of stress and anxiety in addition to financial ruin! This all equalling to many sleepless nights in addition to having a negative effect on my health.
When I spoke to Mal his genuine concern shone through, where he went about explaining in detail the atrociousness state of the property.
Please note: that the property looked as pretty as a post card, there was no way the buyer could have known anything was wrong, the kitchen and bathroom had been renovated and the advertisement on the web stated (Nothing to do but move in)
The bottom line is that Mal Wright saved me $50,000 to $60,000 in fixing the pending issues, and on top of that the sales price of the property.
With boundless GRATITUDE!
Thank you Mal!!

We weren't going to get a Pest and Building Inspection on the property we were purchasing at East Maitland but our Solicitor suggested otherwise and we are so glad we did! There was nothing major picked up in the inspection but all the little things do add up! Thanks to Mal's inspection he has saved us quite a few thousand $$ just by knowing prior to purchasing exactly what needed to be rectified in the house.

It’s easy when buying an older house to get sucked into doing cosmetic fixes at the expense of the less glamorous work.
We recently engaged Mal to complete a post purchase pest & building inspection on our new home. Given the house was over 60 years old, we expected a few surprises. Mal was easy to deal with and quick to respond with information. The report he produced was comprehensive and provided a clear list of what needed to be attended to. He also made it clear what issues should take priority to ensure the houses structural and foundational integrity. It’s easy when buying an older house to get sucked into doing cosmetic fixes at the expense of the less glamorous work. Mal makes it clear what needs to be done and in what order to ensure the investment is protected and the house will remain sound. He is practical in his advice and this helps a lot when engaging people to do the work. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Very Impressed
Good Morning Mal
I was very impressed with your services and after reading the pest and building reports this morning; I was amazed at the detail you went into, listing many items that require being addressed I was unaware of. The photographs included in your report was a big help along with the wording of your reports was very easy to read and understand as they say "a picture tells a thousand words". I am going to use the reports to try and renegotiate the price and if I end up with the property will use the reports as a check list to have works done so that when I sell the property and home, that the condition will be better than it was when I purchased the property. I come from Sydney and a new comer to the area; your services including the over phone conversation going through the report was immensely helpful.
Thank you again.

I phoned Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to have them do a Defects report for me as my house was still under the Builder’s warranty
After my house build had been finished in Ashtonfield I noticed a few things that just didn't seem quite right. I phoned Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to have them do a Defects report for me as my house was still under the Builder's warranty. Mal came out and did the inspection and listened to my concerns and took photos of the areas I was worried about. He also picked up on a few other things too. I was then able to use his reports to go back to my builder and have things amended. Very happy that I had this done and the outcome has been a positive one for me.

First home buyer – new to the market
We recently purchased our first home in Kurri Kurri and employed Mal's skills to complete our Pest and Building Inspection. We had no idea really what to expect since it was the first time we have done anything like this. His reports were very comprehensive and thorough and included many photos to point out any faults and items that needed repair. We would highly recommend him to our friends - and already have! He has made our first property purchase go much smoother than we thought.

We engaged Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections for our investment property inspection in Medowie. We wanted the inspection done before the cooling off period ended to decide whether or not we were going to purchase. Mal called us straight after the inspection, he gave us professional advice and we received a detailed report (including photos). All this with only 2 days notice. He has been fantastic. We will be using him in the future and would strongly recommend Mal Wright to others.

If you want an awesome report that covers literally everything you’d better call Mal Wright.
I had arranged a Pest and Building Inspection through someone the Real Estate agent had recommended when I was buying my house in Maitland. It was all great until I moved in. I thought I was going crazy as I was seeing little things wrong with the house almost every day that the inspector hadn't mentioned in his reports. I was speaking with friends one day and they mentioned Mal Wright had done their Pest and Building Inspections and I should call him. Mal came out a few days later and did another lot of inspections on the house. What a difference in reports! It turns out I wasn't going crazy but after reading Mal's reports I was seeing red - at the Agent and the original Inspector! If you want an awesome report that covers literally everything you'd better call Mal Wright.

Mal found around 12 defects just inside the house, plus there were more outside!
We recently attended an open house in Minmi where the Real Estate had provided Pest and Building reports. We had a read through them whilst there and found there were no problems listed. We were a little hesitant using their provided reports and so decided to have our own done with Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. We are soooooo glad we did. Mal found around 12 defects just inside the house, plus there were more outside! We were a bit shocked that they could have 'overlooked' that many. Just goes to show you should always get your own independent inspections done, unless the ones provided are from Mal Wright!

After speaking with Mal on the phone I knew I had made the right choice.
I purchased a unit in Raymond Terrace and my Conveyancer recommended I get a Building Inspection done. I googled a few Inspectors and narrowed it down before deciding to use Mal Wright as I liked the look of his website and his google reviews were very positive. After speaking with Mal on the phone I knew I had made the right choice.
The booking was easy - Mal's secretary took all my details and she booked everything in from there. I didn't have to make any arrangements with the Real Estate or the tenant.
My report was emailed ( as well as a hard copy arriving by mail a few days later). It was easy for me to understand but Mal also phoned to see if I had any further questions. It was great of him to follow up as I was wondering about a couple of things so his advice was appreciated.
If you are needing any type of inspection I can highly recommend Mal and his staff.

Mal has completed a couple of inspections for us in the Newcastle area. Each time he was very professional and took the time to answer our questions. His reports have also been great tools to help negotiate price and repairs through the selling agent.

Mal literally saved my wife and I thousands of dollars with the inspections he completed recently. We were all ready to proceed with the purchase of a house and our Conveyancer said we should get Pest and Building Inspections done before we sign on the dotted line. In all honesty, I thought I was wasting my money (and Mal's time) as the house wasn't that old. Well, wasn't I wrong. Mal found a fair bit of termite damage under the house. Apparently the owners hadn't kept up with the termite treatments over the years and the little buggers had snuck in! It was recommended by Mal that if we were to go ahead we should have an Invasive inspection done to find the full extent of the damage internally as well. It was a huge call but we decided to not go ahead with the purchase. We couldn't justify moving into a house then having to do reno's etc. We wanted to move in and enjoy our house. We are so thankful to Mal and we will definitely be giving him a call for inspections at the next house we find to buy. Better to be safe rather than sorry!

I have had Pest and Building Inspections completed by other inspectors before but I was impressed by Mal Wright. He spent a good amount of time looking over the property I was purchasing with my wife in Maitland. He got underneath the house, into the roof space, looked through all the rooms and checked out the sheds in the back yard. His reports were emailed to us the next day! They were informative, had colour photos and pointed out the defects that he had found. He also phoned me at a later time to make sure I understood everything. He certainly went above and beyond in my books! Your help is very much appreciated Mal. Thank you.

I booked online with Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections after being told about them by a colleague
I recently purchased a unit (under strata) in Waratah, so I only needed to get a Building Inspection before my cooling off period ended. I booked online with Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections after being told about them by a colleague. Because the unit was vacant, they were able to do the inspection sooner for me (instead of having to make sure the owners or tenants were going to be home first). I was pleased with the reports - only a few minor issues and Mal actually phoned me to make sure I understood everything. I can highly recommend Mal to do any type of inspection you require.

After seeing him work and then receiving my own reports, I understand why he is one of the best in the business.
I bought a property in Hawks Nest and had Mal Wright complete the pre-purchase Pest and Building Inspections for me. Mal had been to my house to do the same inspections for a buyer when I was selling and I was amazed at how much time he spent on the job. Plus he seemed like a very genuine and honest guy.

Mal did an inspection for me at a house I was buying in Charlestown. He was very professional, everything went smoothly and my reports were pretty easy to follow. He followed up with a phone call to make sure I understood everything too, which gave me the opportunity to pick his brains about a couple of things. Considering the length of the report and the number of items included in it, he must have spent a fair amount of time at the house going over it with a fine-tooth comb! I would tell anyone buying a house to get Mal Wright in to do your pre-purchase inspections. Money well spent in my opinion.

You are the best Pest and Building Inspector
Thank you Mal for you inspections we have purchased many homes but have never had such thorough reports and the photos helped immensely.
We ended up buying the house at a reduced price thanks to your reports we were able to negotiate the cost of the repairs off the price so thank you once again. I have told our conveyance whom recommended you how happy we are and will pass you name on to anyone buying a property.
Being able to discuss the reports with you over the phone also helped so great service and was worth every cent.

I was looking at purchasing a property in Maitland and the vendor's had a Pest and Building report already at the property for people to look through at an open house. It had been done through Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections but I hadn't heard of them so googled them on my phone and checked out the feedback he had. After reading the reviews online, I felt like the vendor obviously wasn't going to hide anything by getting the reports done as Mal was quite thorough. It was very impressive and great to see that the vendor had taken the initiative to have the inspections done prior to listing their property. I actually didn't go forward with purchasing that property but have had Mal complete an inspection for us at another place that we did buy in Rutherford. He was great to speak with and we are more than pleased with the reports.

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections have done Pest Inspections on several of my properties in Port Stephens every year or so
Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections have done Pest Inspections on several of my properties in Port Stephens every year or so just as a 'check up' for many years now. It never hurts to get it all checked and make sure the critters stay at bay. I'd rather know early on if there were termites present, than later - this happened earlier this year with one of my rental properties. It's all fixed now, but it would have cost a lot more to fix if I hadn't had Mal come and do these inspections. See you next year, Mal!

You’ve saved us some stress and a bit of money.
Thanks go to Mal for comprehensive Pest and Building Reports on our recent property purchase in Cessnock. We hadn't realised there were so many 'little things' that needed to be fixed, but the clencher was that the house was out of level! We took this information forward with us (after finding out how to fix it) to our real estate agent and made a lesser offer on the property. Without these reports we may not have even realised until the damage had gotten worse. You've saved us some stress and a bit of money. Thanks again.

Overall, I am very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism.
I was having problems with mould in one of the rooms in my house in Newcastle and a plumber (who couldn't find the problem) suggested I get Mal out to take a look. He was very thorough - checking in the roof space and under the house and used a 'moisture meter' on the walls to help pinpoint the problem. He made a couple of suggestions of things that need to be altered/fixed and I am already following these up. Overall, I am very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism.

After looking at so many houses, I think they all began to blur into one lol but eventually I found a house. So I needed a Pest and Building Inspection done. My Solicitor recommended Mal Wright, so I went ahead and booked in an inspection. I had to wait a few days as he was quite booked up, but then they moved my inspection forward as they'd had a last minute cancellation! Happy days... The inspection went smoothly and my reports were great (only a few small things) and I'm now waiting to move in!

After looking at so many houses, I think they all began to blur into one lol but eventually I found a house. So I needed a Pest and Building Inspection done. My Solicitor recommended Mal Wright, so I went ahead and booked in an inspection. I had to wait a few days as he was View Full →

I would recommend his services and use him again if I needed another inspection.
I had Mal Wright complete a Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection at a property I was interested in at Charmhaven. His work was very thorough and the reports that he produced were professional yet easy to read and understand. I would recommend his services and use him again if I needed another inspection.

No wonder they say you are the best in the business.
Hi Mal,
Thank you so much for your pest and building report on our recent purchase in the Newcastle area. The reason we used you is when we took a look at the house with the Real Estate Agent we noticed some defects with the house and then when we received our pest and building reports from another company the items we noticed were not in those reports so we asked around and on recommendation we had a second lot of reports done where we used yourself. After receiving your very very thorough reports we realised that the first inspections were inadequate, hard to read and the inspector had missed many items. There was no comparison between your reports and the previous reports we received with your report being very readable and the pictures helped. We managed to get a large price reduction on the property from being aware of all of the defects noted in your report where the other report from the other company would not have allowed us to do so as it did not alarm us with the defects to be able to make negotiations on the property.
Thank you so much once again..

I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone!
Thank you for your thorough inspection and reports. Discovering the defects on my potential investment property has provided me with the opportunity to approach the agent, who on behalf of the vendor have hired a builder to get an accurate quote on repairing/correcting the defects. This will allow for a fair re-negotiation of the property price before I sign the contract.
I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone!

Being a bit of an older person, I had lots of questions for Mal but he was very obliging and patiently answered all of my queries.
Having recently put a deposit on a property in Tea Gardens, I had to get a Pest and Building Inspection done within my cooling off period. I contacted Mal Wright on a Tuesday and I booked in an inspection for that week. He had mentioned that he had done numerous inspections in Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest. Being a bit of an older person, I had lots of questions for Mal but he was very obliging and patiently answered all of my queries. I must say I was very impressed with Mal and I can highly recommend his services.

Without the reassurance of his reports, we would not have gone ahead with purchasing the house.
We were lucky enough to have Mal complete Pest and Building Inspections for us a couple of months ago.

Such a great service he has provided and I would recommend him to anyone.
I hadn't even thought about using a Pest and Building Inspector when I was buying a property in Metford until my Conveyancer asked me who was doing it! She gave me a few suggestions so I checked out their websites and Mal Wright was one that definitely stood out. I spoke with Mal on the phone and he was very helpful and knew his stuff so booked and inspection through his website. His staff were in contact with me throughout the booking process to let me know how things were progressing. Mal called later the same day after he had emailed my reports to make sure I understood everything and answered a few questions I had. Such a great service he has provided and I would recommend him to anyone.

He took the time to explain any potential issues and to show us any problem areas and he was extremely polite and professional.
100% I would not hesitate to recommend Mal Wright or using his service again with any future property purchases. From the first phone call to Mal he provided a professional service and made everything so easy. Mal had our inspection well underway on our arrival at the property and ensured he introduced himself to us. He took the time to explain any potential issues and to show us any problem areas and he was extremely polite and professional. Our reports were emailed to us the following day and Mal had said to call him if there were any other questions.

I can highly recommend Mal’s capabilities as an inspector and will definitely use him again.
I'd gotten Mal to do inspections previously on a property I owned in Maitland. More recently however, I had him come and do a Handover Inspection on a new house I was building in Ashtonfield. The builder wasn't very impressed that I was getting Mal out there (I think he had previously 'met' Mal on another job and the outcome wasn't favourable for him). Mal picked up on quite a few things that were incorrect or needed repairs. It was great to have the report in hand when I went back to the builder and I could show him exactly what needed to be done. I can highly recommend Mal's capabilities as an inspector and will definitely use him again.

Mal Wright was recommended to me by a colleague who had used his services when they purchased a property in Lochinvar about a year ago, so when I was buying my property this year in Branxton, I knew I had to call Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. My Pest and Building Inspection Reports were emailed to me, but I also received a printed colour copy in the mail.

He responded to my emails and phone calls efficiently and answered my questions.
I was apprehensive about having a Handover Building Report done on my new house in Aberglasslyn, however, a friend of mine recommended Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to me. I decided to get the report done at the last minute and was very fortunate that Mal was able to schedule in an inspection of my new house within the week. He responded to my emails and phone calls efficiently and answered my questions. On the day the inspection he was prompt and was friendly throughout the time he was there.

I didn’t realise how much effort went into producing these reports!
I'd heard the 'don't use Mal Wright' rumours around the water cooler at work - but I like a challenge! Since I was buying my own place, I wanted someone to be patient and look at things differently to me who just saw the gloss and shine of a new house. Plus I didn't want to crawl around underneath it. I'd found a beautiful house in Morpeth and phoned Mal to book in an inspection. There was a few days wait...understandable. Good things come to those who wait. And boy, didn't I get a fabulous report. He covered everything! Inside, outside, roof space, subfloor! All the rooms were inspected individually and faults reported on in separate areas. I didn't realise how much effort went into producing these reports! I'm thinking about starting my own water cooler rumour in the hope it gains momentum and you get lots of work from it, Mal! Thank you for your hard work.

We have been involved in several purchases and this was by far the best Building and Pest inspections to date.
My wife and I would personally like to thank and endorse Mal Wright on his thoroughly professional service he has provided for us for our recent purchase of a property. His written Pest and Building reports were comprehensive and there was well explained use of terminology that was unfamiliar to us. The additional photos in the reports were excellent and provided us with an ability to make an informed decision about our purchase, and what issues to resolve with the vendor before the successful exchange of contract.
We have been involved in several purchases previously and this was by far the best building inspection to date. We appreciate Mal’s work and will recommend his service to our Solicitor, Real Estate and friends.

Good Evening Mr Wright
Charlie Lund and Tori Lund, the agents from McGraths Real Estate in Maitland recommended you to us to perform our Pest and Building reports, we were reluctant to use you being a referral from a real estate agent as they are trying to sell the home but they explained they have lost sales using you but wanted the buyers to be happy with their new property so we went into your website and filled out the online booking request form. Hey prestos your reports arrived via email and a hard copy in the post.
Very professional I must say, we renegotiated the price to have the leaking showers repaired and to have the dwelling treated for termites.
You provide a great service and I have already recommended you to other buyers.

Hi Mal you performed a pest and building inspection recently for us in Tea Gardens and we were both so very impressed with you service and knowledge of building and pest so we took it upon ourselves to send you this to use on your web site so others can see the difference between a cheap inspection and your service. We originally had another slightly cheaper inspector look at the property and there were things we even picked up not in the other inspectors report so we asked around and every person we spoke to mentioned your name adding that you are the best and very thorough so we went and ordered an inspection on your easy to use online booking form. Once we received the report the follow day after you performed the report we were flabergastered to see the amount of problems and defects you reported on that the cheaper inspector did not pick up or report on. You are worth every cent and we will use you again when we find another property we like.

The report covered everything in the unit (walls, floor, roof, inside, outside etc)
I was buying a unit in Metford and a friend recommended getting Mal Wright in to complete pre-purchase inspections. I was hesitant at paying money to get the inspection done at first but after looking at the reviews on the internet (and reading some horror stories) I went ahead and booked one in. The report covered everything in the unit (walls, floor, roof, inside, outside etc) and it gave me a better idea of how much money I was going to have to spend on repairs (even the little ones add up). I'm glad I went ahead with it and will be letting all my friends know Mal's details.

The report View Full →

Absolutely Amazed
To Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections,
Thank you very much for spending the time with us going through your detailed pest and building reports over the phone.
It was very handy after receiving the email and also receiving the hard printed copy in the mail which was very well presented and gave us something to keep as a record other than an electronic record.
We have shown many of our friends your report who some are in the building industry who commented on how professional your reports are.
When we rang around to find prices you were about $65 dearer than other options, however having heard horror stories of people choosing the cheaper option we thought $65 extra was not so much extra for such a large investment to be assured that the inspections were carried out by a professional such as yourself.
We have used the reports as a checklist to fix all the defects that you noted, minor and major so that one day when we sell the house we won’t have the problems you noted.
We are very proud house owners thanks to your great report.

It gave me a great insight to what I needed to tidy up and smaller things I needed to fix.
My neighbour was selling their house and I noticed Mal's car parked out the front when he was there doing to inspection. I had thought of selling and moving to a smaller property a few times so I bailed Mal up after he was finished and asked him a few questions. It took me a while to get my head around it but eventually decided I was going to sell so I had Mal come and do a Pest and Building Inspection prior to putting it on the market. It gave me a great insight to what I needed to tidy up and smaller things I needed to fix. After I'd done a lot of work I had Mal come out again and do an 'updated' report I could show potential purchasers. It was a fabulous idea - buyers could see straight up what condition the house was in. My house was on the market and sold within 2 weeks. I'm still looking at buying but will have Mal come and do inspections on a new property when I'm ready.

It turns out that his Thermal Imaging camera is a wonderful device and picked up a small leaking pipe inside of the wall!
I required an inspection of my property due to unexplained mould on a wall in my house. Mal was able to come out and have a look at it and used his Thermal Imaging camera to help identify if we had possible rising damp or something else.
It turns out that his Thermal Imaging camera is a wonderful device and picked up a small leaking pipe inside of the wall! Having such an accurate outcome has allowed me to notify the trades I need to come and repair it and they know exactly where it is already.
Mal's inspection has been invaluable.

Although there was nothing major wrong with the house, it was great to have the reports done as even the little things that need repairs add up.
I had a few people recommend Mal Wright for inspections when I was looking at buying a house in the Bolwarra area. A friend had used him, my Conveyancer said he was very good and I'd had pest spray done at my rental and the pest guy had said he was well known in their industry! So really, it was pretty clear who I needed to use. Once I had my reports I went through the house again with them fresh in my mind. I was surprised at how much they covered. There were also some photos included so I knew exactly what the defect was he had been referring to. Although there was nothing major wrong with the house, it was great to have the reports done as even the little things that need repairs add up. I'm glad I asked around for recommendations.

Mal was highly professional and prompt to organise the inspection.
We hired Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections after putting in an offer on a house in Fletcher. The Real Estate Agent selling the house said he didn't recommend Mal "for reasons he wouldn't go into". So naturally, this made us think we needed Mal to do our Pest and Building Inspections even more! Mal was incredibly thorough and was generous enough to call and talk through everything in his in-depth reports and discuss any concerns we had. He was highly professional and prompt to organise the inspection. We can't recommend Mal Wright enough!

We found your Building and Pest Reports easy to understand.
Thank you for the Building and Pest Report you performed at Barnsley NSW.
We found it easy to understand and it assisted us in determining what kind of work and potential expense we had to plan for. The reports with photographs was an excellent way for us to identify what we needed to do to comply with regulations and what areas needed our concern.
We have since been advised that the vendor has re-sealed the shower recess, so that is now no longer a problem for us (they were also shocked).
To us, the amateur house buyers, your report and comments have been greatly appreciated.

I found Mal to be most thorough and professional in the work he undertook in preparing the reports.
At the recommendation of my solicitor I engaged Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to prepare Building and Pest Reports for our New Lambton Heights dwelling house prior to offering it for sale. This was to ensure that any building or pest issues raised in the reports could be addressed and rectified before the dwelling was placed on the market.
I found Mal to be most thorough and professional in the work he undertook in preparing the reports. His advice and guidance has been invaluable in ensuring that our dwelling has been able to be presented to potential buyers in the best possible light.

I often heard from other builders that they didn’t like Mal Wright and I’ve realized why….
Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections was recommended to me by a work mate for a Handover Inspection on my new house in Thornton. Mal was very professional, thorough and systematic with his inspection. I often heard from other builders that they didn't like Mal Wright and I've realized why.... He reports every aspect of what is not within building regulations. I agree it's an extra expense to add in to building a new home but it's an expense that is well worth it. A small amount to pay to ensure your home is being built to standards.

I would highly recommend having Mal do your inspections!
Mal came and did Pest and Building Inspections on the house I bought in Thornton. I was hesitant getting them done as I didn't think the cost was necessary. I'm so glad I did though as the defects he picked up far outweighed the cost of the inspection. I still went ahead with the purchase of the property but I knew what was wrong and was able to re-negotiate with the vendors which saved me thousands in the end. I would highly recommend having Mal do your inspections!

I’m so glad I had the inspections done and would highly recommend Mal to anyone.
I had Mal Wright complete a Pest and Building Inspection on a house in Maitland for me about 6 months ago. There were a few things that he had picked up in the inspections that needed to be amended so I went back to the Real Estate agent and asked for them to be fixed. Apparently the Vendors weren't willing to do the work and saw it as a waste of money for them. I stuck to my guns though and was eventually able to negotiate a better purchase price. I have just had trades come through and repair some things so I am able to move in. I'm so glad I had the inspections done and would highly recommend Mal to anyone.

Thank you again for the pedantic building and pest reports, you are true to your reputation. I am a pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force; recently posted at Williamtown NSW so may wife and I bought a home for my family and I to reside in during my post. I asked around the base who tell me as your the man to use if one wants a proper non-bias inspection.
Reading your extremely informative reports during the commitment to purchasing the property gave me the option of having everything fixed before we moved in with some favourable price reductions to cater towards the repairs. Having lived in the home now you nailed and I love the place already.

I recently was looking at properties in the Kurri Kurri area and after being shown a few, there was one I was very keen on. My Conveyancer recommended a Pest and Building Inspection and so I googled. Mal Wright's website was catchy and easy to navigate, so I booked my inspection online right then and there! Their service was awesome. They contacted the Real Estate and arranged everything. I just waited for my report which I received the day after the inspection. I was so glad I chose Mal Wright as the report was easy to read, had photos included and he even gave me a call the next day to make sure I understood everything. Highly recommend his company!

Mal Wright was recommended to me by a colleague who had previously used him and was very happy with his reports so I gave him a call. The booking process was very easy and his staff followed up with the agent to make sure they could get in there to do the inspection. After that, all I had to do was wait for my reports, which were emailed through to me the day after the inspection! A few days later I had a hard copy in the mail as well.

Thank you for everything, Mal! Your time and patience were so very much appreciated when we used your business to complete our Pest and Building Inspections at a property in Morpeth. The reports you supplied helped us understand what needed to be fixed (although there wasn't a lot), and we were confident in our offer (which was accepted prior to auction). We will gladly use your services again in the future should we purchase another property and in the meantime we will let everyone else know how impressed we were.

Mal’s report is invaluable to us!
We recently finished building our home in Cliftleigh with McDonald Jones Homes and had Mal do a Handover Report for us. We are so glad we used Mal as there were a few issues that needed fixing that were pointed out in the report, and therefore promptly remedied once they were brought to the attention of the builders. Mal's report is invaluable to us! Thank you so much.

Having recently purchased property in Thornton, I can highly recommend Mal Wright for your Pest and Building Inspection needs! The reports I received went above and beyond what my expectations were. He also phoned me after I had received my reports just to make sure I understood everything. Such a great service he offers.

Thank you for the intensive and informative reports on the pest and building .
Thank you for the intensive and informative reports on the pest and building, the intense pest report had initially somewhat alarmed my son into wether he should continue with the purchase of the property, however after going over the report with him I have partially convinced him that if he is to follow a number of your suggestions he and his partner should be able to manage any potential future Termite issues as they arise.
I would also like to note that my sons Conveyance Solicitor was impressed as to the level of detail involved in both the pest and building reports, he had originally offered to find us an Inspector as we are not local of that area. After reading your reports he conceded he could most likely not have gotten my son a report of such detail.
Thank you once again Mal, regards

I would say to anyone that needed an inspection done to give Mal a call.
After I read a really shonky report from an inspector at an open house, I knew I needed someone who was going to be very thorough when I eventually found 'the one'. A few people I spoke to had used Mal Wright so I looked at his website and was pleased to read that he was 'Mr Pedantic'. I didn't need him to do an inspection straight away but I gave him a call anyway and picked his brains, so to speak. When I was ready for my inspection to be booked, I just jumped online and did it that way. I'd already spoken to him so I knew what to expect. He went out to the property in Singleton a couple of days later. My reports had the minor and major defects listed, an overview of the rooms and also included any safety issues that arose. I was impressed. I would say to anyone that needed an inspection done to give Mal a call. He answered all of my questions and did a great job. Thank you.

Mal performed Pest and Building Inspections for my wife and I when we purchased a house in Charlestown many years ago. We recently decided we needed to down-size and found a lovely house in Whitebridge so gave Mal a call. He was just as lovely and helpful. We didn't wait long for our inspections to be completed and received the reports the day after. We would highly recommend Mal Wright to anyone buying a property.

A friend mentioned that I was well within my rights to get an independent inspection done and Mal Wright’s name came up in a few conversations I had
I had a Handover Inspection done on a new house I was having built in Tenambit. The company I was using for the build weren't very happy that I was having one done, so that made me even more determined! Throughout the build, I felt like they were missing little things and when I mentioned it I would be told that 'It was getting done'. Towards the end of the build, I was getting quite frustrated with the supervisor and felt like my concerns were getting put aside. A friend mentioned that I was well within my rights to get an independent inspection done and Mal Wright's name came up in a few conversations I had with different people. My inspection went ahead and I wasn't surprised when there were quite a few defects found inside and outside of the house. So, armed with my report, I went back to my supervisor and asked for all of them to be fixed before I moved in! Many, Many Thanks to Mal for putting up with my endless questions via email and phone call. Truly an excellent (and patient) inspector.

Thank you Mal for your professionalism and promptness in getting this done for me.
I needed an inspection done at a rental property I own in Raymond Terrace as there were cracks appearing in a couple of rooms. Mal Wright was recommended to me by my Real Estate and he was very prompt to answer my questions and get an inspection booked in. I had to wait a couple of days to get my report but it was very precise and Mal obviously spent a lot of time on it. It covered the areas I was concerned about and gave clear indications of what was wrong. Mal spoke with me over the phone and gave me advice on where to go from there. I'm now in the process of getting a builder to come out (not as easy as getting an inspector unfortunately). I'm glad I had this done as I believe the problem will only get worse over time. Thank you Mal for your professionalism and promptness in getting this done for me.

Very impressed by Mal’s quality service and turn-around time
We used Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to complete a Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection on a property we were interested in at Bolwarra Heights. We weren't the only people looking at the property and were very impressed by Mal's quality service and the turn-around time for the report - we received it via email the next business day. It enabled us to have a good idea of the property beforehand and the photos and description included in the reports were also handy as they showed where different defects were in the house. Overall, we were very happy and will recommend him to anyone who will listen. Thanks again.

I had Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections do pre-purchase inspections on a property I was looking at in Salamander Bay. I was very keen to get Mal's opinion and lucky enough to meet him at the property after he had completed everything for a quick chat. It was great to speak with him and briefly look at what he had picked up for the report. After I had read through my reports the next day, I had another discussion with Mal over the phone before making a decision. His reports were well presented but being able to talk over the phone about things was excellent and helped me understand a lot more. I can highly recommend Mal's services and his expertise.

I’d heard that Mal is pedantic and this is certainly true.
I have seen too many pest and building reports that are rushed, generic and superficial. When buying a property that we could potentially be in for decades to come, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars we really wanted to make a wise decision. I'd heard that Mal is pedantic and this is certainly true. His report was thorough and alerted us to a number of issues we would not have otherwise seen. He provided comprehensive explanations of not only the problems with the property but suggested solutions to fix them. He made an effort to inspect the subfloor and roof areas of the house and his report was filled with very helpful photos to accompany his recommendations. He was also happy to talk at length on the phone regarding the details he provided. Additionally, Mal (along with his administration support staff) were prompt, professional and very personable. I highly recommend his service.
Mal's attention to detail, thorough reporting, professional manner, and prompt service are second to none.
We will be recommending Mal to friends and family and will definitely be going to him for any future pest and building matters.

After 3 recommendations, we definitely went with Mal!
We were in the market to purchase a new property, and were told by friends that Mal Wright was excellent to work with in regards to a Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection. After a night out with friends and a group discussion about property purchases, another friend also recommended Mal as they had used his services. We forged ahead, looking at many houses before falling in love with one in East Maitland. After employing a Conveyancer who also said Mal was very good at what he did we knew there was no one else to use. The reports were informative and easy to read. We received an emailed copy of the reports but then a few days later got a hard copy in the mail! So much hard work for our reports! We thank you so much for that!

Agents don’t like him because he is too thorough
Mal is very knowledgeable, thorough and passionate about his work. I discovered him just Google searching because I'm not a Newcastle local. I was impressed by his website compared to others and began to ask real estate agents if Mal was any good and their responses were basically "agents don't like him because he is too thorough". I thought this was a good thing and feel like I now have invaluable knowledge about my new house which I wouldn't otherwise have known.

They had photos, included defects – minor and major, and gave me an overall rating of the property.
I found Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections through Google. I was looking for an inspector to complete a Pest and Building Inspection on a property I'd made an offer on in Maryland. I'd looked at a few other pages but kept coming back to Mal's. I read the reviews on google and on his website. They were all great! So here I am, adding my review 🙂
I received my reports the day after my inspection was done. They had photos, included defects - minor and major, and gave me an overall rating of the property. The house wasn't too old, but there were still a few minor things that needed attention and it was great to see the house through another pair of eyes (not just the real estate agent pointing out the positives!). Many thanks for your comprehensive reports and help on the phone afterwards.

The (handover) inspection identified several faults
My partner & I recently built a house in Fletcher and needed a Handover inspection completed before moving in. I rang and booked one through Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections as I'd heard from friends he was very good. My building inspector wouldn't let us be on the property while Mal was doing the inspection which I thought was strange but I went along with it and waited for my reports to be emailed the day after the inspection.
I had believed that the builders and supervisor were doing their job properly but apparently not! The inspection identified several faults including the stairs not being installed correctly, drainage problems and shoddy painting. Needless to say, I went back to the supervisor with the report and tried to calmly ask why.... So we are now waiting a bit longer to move into our new house as I won't move in until it has all been fixed. The builder isn't happy but so what, neither am I. I'm also considering having Mal come out again to re-inspect the house after the works have been completed.
Thanks to Mal for his expertise. We may not have known any different if we didn't get him to do the inspection.

Wow....Mal when we told the agent we were using you she warned us this guy is very thorough so please come on site after the inspection and meet with the inspector as the reports can read rather damming.
Meeting you on site helped us a lot to understand and discuss your findings.
Your experience was valuable and the way you explained onsite after the inspection what is required in simple terms allowed us to exchange contracts quickly as we are first home buyers and finding this very daunting.
When I told my friends of your service, most were already aware of your service with raving reviews.
When we saw your professional website and easy online booking system it was a comfortable feeling knowing we had someone good doing our Pest and Building reports.

Mal had recently completed a Pest and Building Inspection on our house when we accepted an offer on it and we were so impressed with his work that we decided to use him for a Pest and Building Inspection on our next purchase. He really went through each room quite thoroughly, took photos, got into the roof space and then there was outside as well!

Great work Mal
Thanks for the great work Mal providing the pest and building reports on time and they were very well presented in a professional folder. The defects you reported on was good reading which even my wife understood and gave us a great insight on what we are considering purchasing. I had no idea when we saw the house of any of the defects that you noted as we were looking at more where our furniture is going to go and only had you inspect the property on our solicitors advice.
Thankfully we took his advice and used you as we have had a builder estimate on the repairs which have been quoted at just over $30,000 and have decided not to purchase the property as the vendors will not re-negotiate the price. Will be in contact when we find another suitable property.

A quick note to say thank you so much for your comprehensive and professional building and pest inspection report you recently prepared for me with regard to the property I ended up purchasing in Port Stephens.
I work in financial markets and am a licensed real estate agent, and I come across such reports on a regular basis and am very familiar with their standard format and the limited information they usually contain. In contrast, your report was impressive in that the level of diagnostic details, feedback and suggested course of action it contained, supported by photographic proof, was just excellent; it provided me with a clear understanding of the state of the property, and was instrumental in my negotiation to secure a good deal.
Furthermore, your building knowledge and common sense ideas in relation to potential future work that could be undertaken to improve the layout of the property and maximise on its location and potential value was most appreciated and I can’t thank you enough. You came highly recommended and now I know why. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone who is looking to move to or invest in the Port Stephens area.
Once again, my sincere thanks for a job well done.

We have had inspections done by other companies but we were so impressed with Mal and his reports
My wife and I bought a property in Rutherford and used Mal Wright for our Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspections. We have purchased several properties in the past and had inspections done by other companies but we were so impressed with Mal and his reports. They were easy to read, included photos of defects and suggestions on how we could remedy the situation plus we received an emailed copy of the reports and we were sent a hard copy in the mail. If we are looking at purchasing another property in future we will definitely be giving Mal a call and using his services again.

Wow! @malwright. Thanks for your Pest and Building Reports on the property I was purchasing in Thornton.

Very Informative Reports.
Hi Mal,
Thank you for your reports.
I found the reports very informative, clear and enlightening.
They addressed the concerns we had about visible defects we identified in the property, and they also highlighted issues and concerns that would be apparent only to an experienced builder/pest inspector. It just shows how important it is to have an unbiased inspection by an ethical, qualified tradesperson.
We would not have known anything about the crack opening up between the two halves of the house if you hadn't identified it, and this is a defect that could end up costing a significant amount to rectify, if it gets worse.
Equally, we would have known nothing about the poor drainage beneath the foundations until it caused other problems, and by then the cost to us could be very significant.
Your identification the termite treatment drill holes also waved some red flags for us.
I am waiting on my solicitor's comments on the reports, but I personally believe that there are too many significant, if not major, defects/issues to make our purchase of the property, in its current condition, a sensible financial decision.
Many thanks for your inspection and the detailed reports.
Regards

I booked online and they did the rest!
As a first home buyer, everything was getting overwhelming for me - bank loans, fees, offers, Agents, Conveyancers, Inspections....the list goes on! So much to worry about! Luckily Mal Wright kept my Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection at Wallsend smooth and simple for me. I booked online and they did the rest! They organized with the real estate when they would do the inspection and I received my reports the day after. I rang Mal a couple of days afterwards to speak to him about my concerns and his advice was very helpful. The whole process left me less stressed and now I'm a home owner! Thanks Mal. Appreciate your time.

Thanks to Mal – I will be sure to pass your name around to friends as well as clients.
I work in a Real Estate office and was purchasing my own home so asked a few different agents who they had used for Pest and Building Inspections. All of them said Mal Wright. Most of them said they don't recommend him to potential purchasers though as he is very thorough. I was able to book in an inspection for the same week and very eager to get my reports to make a final decision. It's so hard waiting to find out what the verdict is!! Very suspenseful. I was lucky though and there were only minor defects found so most were an easy fix. My offer was accepted and now I am waiting to move....more suspense (although there is lots to do!). Thanks to Mal - I will be sure to pass your name around to friends as well as clients.

Just goes to show you can’t always see what is wrong with a house
I had an inspection completed on a house with Mal Wright Pest and Building before I signed anything to buy it. I'm so glad I did! The reports showed up some major defects. I decided to get a builder's quote to see how much it would cost to repair and almost fell over when it came back at over $75K. Needless to say I didn't go ahead with buying the property.
I found another place, had inspections done and there were only a few minor problems. Just goes to show you can't always see what is wrong with a house - I was totally unaware of the problems but thanking my lucky stars I had them done.

Your Handover Report highlighted many defects that we would not have known of.
Your help with our new home at Rutherford was amazing! When we told our builder we were using you to do our Handover report, he said he was aware of you and that you were very thorough. Jokingly he said 'Can't you use someone else?' Lol.' Your report highlighted many defects that we would not have known of, that provided the builder with a list to rectify prior to us taking Handover possession of our house. This saved us having to have tradespeople in with all our furniture in place once lining there, as it was much easier to have it all fixed before we moved in. I would highly recommend your Handover Defects Building Report to anybody having a new house built before taking possession of the dwelling in handover from the builder.

Our Real Estate Agent suggested we have a Pest and Building Inspection completed prior to putting our home on the market so we would know of any problems beforehand.
We were recently looking at selling our property in Chisholm. Our Real Estate Agent suggested we have a Pest and Building Inspection completed prior to putting it on the market so we would know of any problems beforehand. At first we were hesitant to have this done but we were referred to Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections and were told he had done many inspections like this before. Mal was very professional and we feel it was an excellent selling tool as we could be open and honest with prospective buyers as to what areas needed attention. It made the whole process of selling our house a lot more relaxed as we knew we had done everything we could to get it ready. Buyers who viewed the reports also commented on the detail that was in them. We are currently in the process of looking for a new smaller property to purchase and will be having Mal complete the inspections for us. Thank you for your help.

I was impressed with the turn around of the reports
My neighbour recommended Mal Wright for my Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection in Cessnock. I was purchasing an investment property and only had 7 days cooling off period so I was lucky that Mal could squeeze my inspection in. I was impressed with the turn around of the reports - they were made available to me via email the next business day. They also looked professional and included photos of defects found at the property which helped me identify them easier. I'm very happy and will be using Mal's services again if I purchase any more properties.

Mal was available to take a look that week and brought his Thermal Imaging Camera and Moisture meter with him.
I bought a house in Newcastle and had the usual Pest and Building Inspections done under the guidance of the Real Estate Agent I had been dealing with. Everything seemed great as it had been recently renovated so I went ahead with the purchase.
Around 6 months later, I noticed a few things didn't seem right. There were cracks appearing in the newly painted exterior. A few tiles fell off a wall in one of the bathrooms. One particular window was becoming harder to open/close.
Not sure what was happening, I asked a few friends what they thought and they recommended Mal Wright to come and have a look.
Mal was available to take a look that week and brought his Thermal Imaging Camera and Moisture meter with him. He spent around an hour going over the house, listening to my concerns and writing things down. After he was done he quickly explained what was wrong.
When I received my report the next day, I was able to sit down in my own time and go over it carefully. Mal had explained everything and given me ideas on how to fix the problems (moisture issues). I believe that the previous owners covered up the issues by renovating and the real estate didn't help by getting in their own inspector either.
So glad I had Mal come out, but it might have been better if I'd had him do the original inspections. It could have saved me some money in the long run.

Mal Wright was recommended to us for a Pest and Building Inspection by a friend who had used him prior to selling their house in Mayfield. He had said how thorough he was doing their inspection before they had sold their property and if they were going to buy again - he was the person to get! True to his word, Mal was very thorough and our reports included minor defects that we didn't notice when we had looked through the house in Bolwarra. He offered to go through any questions we had afterwards and he was very knowledgeable and polite. We are so glad we had used Mal Wright that we have already started to pass his details onto our friends.

When he came out to my property he used a Moisture Meter to see what the levels were and also got under the house to have a look in the subfloor.
I bought a house in Charlestown and had a Building Inspection done with another company and everything was great in the report. About 4 months after I moved in though, there was mould growing on a wall in the house and I had no idea why. I spoke to a couple of people who suggested I give Mal Wright a call to have another inspection done. When he came out to my property he used a Moisture Meter to see what the levels were and also got under the house to have a look in the subfloor. I was very impressed with how thorough he was and I received my report a couple of days later which suggested I needed more subfloor ventilation - which was never mentioned in my original report. Currently I'm in the process of getting quotes to remedy the situation but very happy with Mal's report.

Thanks Mal for your assistance with our Pest and Building Inspection at a property in Cessnock. I liked that we received email copies of the reports as well as a posted hard copy. Your professionalism and assistance was outstanding. Will recommend you to everyone we speak to!

He was easy to talk to, answered my questions and confirmed that was licenced and insured without any hesitation.
I phoned a few places to get prices for Pest and Building Inspections before deciding to go with Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. He wasn't the cheapest, but just talking to him on the phone made that decision for me. He was easy to talk to, answered my questions and confirmed that was licenced and insured without any hesitation. The reports were emailed to me the day after the inspection and after reading them Mal was happy to set aside some time to answer a few questions I had. I certainly felt like the services he provides are personalised. If I need any other inspections done I will be sure to give him a call.

Very Grateful
To Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections
Hi Mal there are not enough words to thank you for your high standards of reporting, we used you twice as the first house we didn't buy and found a better house the second time for the same price with lesser defects. With out your assistance we may have settled on the first house and would of been really sorry latter on.
Lucky we didn't listen to the real estate agent who recommended another cheaper inspector even though we found out latter he used YOU himself when purchasing his own house off our friends just recently.

I would definitely recommend him!
Mal came and did inspections at a unit I was buying in Lambton. I met him at the unit after he had finished and he was able to let me know what I was in for. Luckily I picked a good one, and there were only a few minor things that needed repairs before I could move in. Mal was so lovely and patient - especially when he needed to explain things to me. I would definitely recommend him!

We were not disappointed.
We looked at a few properties in Aberglasslyn and Gillieston Heights before we found 'the one' in Bolwarra Heights and we immediately booked Mal to complete our Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection as we had been told he was the best in the area. We were not disappointed. All the arrangements for the inspection were made through Mal's office, so we just waited for the reports. Mal was thorough, including photos and descriptions of defects and even after the reports were emailed to us, he followed up with a courtesy phone call to make sure we understood everything. We have no hesitation in recommending Mal and the service he provides. Great job!

We were very pleased with the promptness that Mal was able to book our inspection in and receive our reports.
We had Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections complete an inspection for us at a property we were looking at in Elermore Vale. We were very pleased with the promptness that Mal was able to book our inspection in and receive our reports. Any phone calls we made to him were answered quickly and professionally and if we weren't able to talk to him he called us back as soon as he was able (he was on a roof at one stage!). We didn't buy the property in the end (someone placed a higher offer) but we will definitely use Mal again on the next property we look at.

Mal even called me to explain the report personally which helped me understand and ask any questions I had. Highly recommended.

He is meticulous and the reports were detailed and arrived the next day.
After seeing how thorough yet fair Mal from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections was when inspecting a home I was selling in Aberglasslyn – I engaged him for the home I later bought. He is meticulous and the reports were detailed and arrived the next day. The photos and defect descriptions enabled us to negotiate a reduction in the contract price. Highly recommended!!

Many thanks Mal! I’ll shout your name from the rooftop of my new place!
I was buying a unit in Wickham and my Conveyancer told me I needed a Pre-Purchase Building Inspection done even though it was a Strata property. Mal completed the inspection for me and it was great to see he had added photos to the report to show different defects. There were only a few but I'm glad I had this done as I'm now aware of some smaller things I need to repair around the property. So, many thanks Mal! I'll shout your name from the rooftop of my new place!

Thank GOD we did not use our agents report
We recently purchased a home and the real estate agent tried to get us to rely on a report previously done by their inspector.
On advice from our Solicitor not to purchase the property without having our own inspector perform a building and pest inspection report. Thank god we took his advice you saves us making a bad mistake as you picked up over 20 more defects that the agents inspector picked up including a major structural defect with the concrete slab.
We will be using you again when we find another property.
Thanks again Mal.

His help has been invaluable and he has been professional every time I have dealt with him
My experiences with Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections has been great. I have used their services on a few occasions now for both Pest and Building Inspections and a Special Purpose Inspection as well. I had Mal complete inspections for me when I was buying 2 different properties. Both were older residences and I found Mal's attention to detail was excellent. A third property which I had been renting out was in need of an inspection after the tenant discovered mould in a wardrobe. Mal was able to investigate the cause and gave me sound advice and suggestions on what needed to be done to remedy the problem. His help has been invaluable and he has been professional every time I have dealt with him.

Thank you for getting acess to the difficult areas under the dwelling.
Good Morning Mal
You recently performed a building and pest inspection at my place at Birmingham Gardens and I thank you so much for accessing the areas that was difficult to access as this showed up major defects that I would not have been aware of and allowed us to negotiate a lesser price so we can attend to having the issues rectified.
You are the best as they all told me before I used you and they were right.

Our Solicitor was also very happy with the quality of your work.
Thank you for your assistance in our recent Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection for our property in East Maitland. We were so grateful you took the time to explain different things to us mentioned in our reports. And the added photos made it easier to understand as well.

We just want to say a big THANK YOU to Mal Wright. He booked our Pest and Building Inspection in at the very last minute (we overlooked booking an inspection).

I can highly recommend his services – even though the real estate agents don’t really appreciate it!!
I used to work in the Real Estate industry and each time clients booked Mal Wright in for Pest and Building Inspections, the agents would always hold their breath and hope for the best. Mal was rumoured as being a very good inspector - too good sometimes! I eventually was looking for a property to buy for myself and found one in Rankin Park. I didn't hesitate to contact Mal to get my inspections done. I can highly recommend his services - even though the real estate agents don't really appreciate it!!

We have just moved into our house in Adamstown Heights and I must say how thorough Mal's reports were. We had him come and complete Pest and Building Inspections for us before our cooling off period ended and he had picked up on a few minor defects in the house. Now that we have actually moved in and had a really good look around the house I don't think there's anything he has missed! We were very happy with the reports at the time but this has us even more impressed. He certainly has done a wonderful job.

The photos were excellent and the laymen’s terms along with being able to discuss the report with you made it very helpful to understand the defects.
Thank you so much for the pest and building reports you so promptly sent, they were a great help to being able to be fully aware of what we were buying without buying blind. The real estate agent quivered when we mentioned that you were our inspector; although gave you full credit mentioning that you were good for the buyer but not the seller, which made us laugh as we hoped you were not inspecting our own house when we sell lol.

Cheers Mal, you have helped us massively.
A recent Pest and Building Inspection we had booked with another company in the Maitland area didn't quite go to plan, and we needed someone to complete these for us in a hurry. Mal Wright was recommended to us by friends who said his reports were very thorough. Luckily Mal was able to squeeze our inspection in and we are so thankful he could as there were issues he found in the subfloor of the house which needed immediate attention. He even took the time to explain things to us afterwards. Cheers Mal, you have helped us massively.

He listened and took time to answer my questions so I knew he was the one I was going to use.
After selling my house in Wallsend, I needed to hurry up and get Pest and Building Inspections done for my new purchase in Hamilton. I had only a couple of weeks left on my cooling-off period so I googled some inspectors (as you do).
Mal's website and testimonials were all great and I phoned to ask a few questions. He listened and took time to answer my questions so I knew he was the one I was going to use.
He was able to complete my inspections the same week and also offered to send copies to my Conveyancer. After I had read the reports I actually went back to the house and had another look to refresh my memory. It was great to have photos in the reports so I could see exactly what he was talking about.
Thanks for all your time Mal. It's really appreciated (and helped me make an informed decision).

The best reporting I have ever seen
Good Morning Mal
Your service is incredible, we rang your office and spoke to your secretary who was very helpful and took our booking over the phone, within 3 days we were reading the Building and Pest reports.
Your prices are compatible with other inspection services although your standard of the reports is the best we have seen EVER.
This prompt service helped my husband and I exchange contracts beating another interested party to the property.
The reports also gave us a list of repairs to go off so we can fix the house up and improve the condition which in turn will increase the value of the property.

He is now my go-to inspector. He spent almost 2 hours at the house I was interested in.
Buying a house is such a huge investment. I always made sure I had Pest and Building Inspections done when I bought property. And I had met quite a few inspectors. Some only spent half an hour inspecting the property. I thought this was normal until I had Mal Wright complete inspections for me at house I was buying in Gillieston Heights. He is now my go-to inspector. He spent almost 2 hours at the house I was interested in. Checking everything. Taking photos. I only know this because I met him after he had finished. I won't be paying for other inspectors to just google what they think is at the house now. I'll be getting Mal because I know he is the real deal.

My husband and I were purchasing a property in Kurri Kurri and our Conveyancer in Maitland recommended that we have Mal Wright complete the necessary Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspections. Purchasing a property is such a large investment and we wanted to be sure about the house before 'signing away' everything.

First Home Buyers and you steped us through making it easier
Hey Mal, you helped us so much I had to write this to express our gratitude.
We are first home buyers so was a little daunting however being able to meet you on site at the end of the inspection for you to show my partner and I what defects you found was amazing and allowed us to exchange contracts that afternoon to prevent the race with other buyers.
My mum and dad also read your reports and found it easy to understand and dads retired builder.
his comment after reading the reports was "guy knows his stuff" take that as a huge compliment.
You are our pest and building inspector from here on, if your on a good thing stick with it.
P.S the photos in the reports really helped.

The thermal imaging and your reporst was fantastic….. really helpful.
Thank you Mal Wright for the Pest and Building reports you recently performed. It was very helpful being able to ring you and discuss the reports. The thermal camera detecting the roof leak was great, they are fixing the leak this week at their cost. Before we booked you we rang around and there was some company's that could do it same day; although every one we talked to recommended "you", so we waited to fit into your booking time.... the 4 days wait and was well worth it.

I would recommend anyone buying a house to give Mal a call
I was recently looking at purchasing an investment property in Jesmond to use as a rental. I had used Mal before for Pest and Building Inspections and because buying a house is such a huge investment, I definitely wanted him to look at this one too. As usual, Mal was very helpful, his reports were informative, included photos and recommendations, so I had no hesitation in making my decision on the property after reading through them. I would recommend anyone buying a house to give Mal a call!

Mal’s website and reviews certainly stood out.
My parents actually told me to use Mal Wright when I was buying my first place. They had inspections done about 8 years ago by Mal and they must have been great because they never forgot! Lol. Anyway, I googled and read the testimonials of other companies first (your parents can't be right, can they?). Mal's website and reviews certainly stood out. I booked a Building Inspection for a unit in Lemon Tree Passage and waited for my report. I was very lucky that there was only a couple of minor things wrong and nothing major. And even though I didn't get a Pest Inspection done (because it was under strata title) he still suggested I ask about termite treatments. I was pretty pleased with the outcome (I had been dreading a bad result!).

Confidence and Trust in Mal Wright
We recently purchased our first home, which we learnt is a very daunting process.
As a young couple, we weren't aware of, a lot of the important exterior aspects to
the property, and we found Mal to be very informative and approachable towards
our understanding of these exterior defects. He provided us with thorough condition
reports combined with follow-up conversations on the defects found. The result of
these defects allowed us to successfully negotiate $10,000 off our original offer (as it
was subject to pest & building inspection) and we couldn't be more grateful.
We would like to thank Mal for his insightful knowledge of the building industry and
his exceptionally efficient service which at the end of the day, gave us the confidence
we needed to buy our first home.
We could not recommend Mal Wright more highly in every aspect of our dealings.

I was impressed with the fact that he has over 30 years experience!
I was buying a house in Maryland and had no idea what Building Inspection company to use. Different friends had told me who not to use so I embarked on a google search. I came across Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections and looked at his website and read some of the reviews. I like to be able to speak to someone though so gave him a call. He was polite and pretty knowledgeable on the phone. I was impressed with the fact that he has over 30 years experience! Anyway, his secretary called me and booked in my inspection which went ahead a couple of days later. I received my reports via email the day after the inspection and they were great! Mal also followed up with a phone call to me to make sure everything was understood and it gave me the opportunity to ask him a few questions. So now I know who I can recommend to my friends!

He was busy inspecting and writing things down for almost 1.5 hours.
I didn't realise how much time and effort was involved in getting a Pest and Building Inspection done until I had Mal Wright come and do them at my house before I decided to sell. I wanted the reports ready for when my house went on the market so the potential purchasers had them handy and could look while they were at the open house.
I organised an afternoon time with Mal so that I was there if he had any questions but he pretty much focused on the job at hand and off he went. He was busy inspecting and writing things down for almost 1.5 hours. He had a chat to me about a few things before he left and I received emailed copies of the reports the next day. Fairly quick turn-around in my opinion.
If you're buying, or selling, I can highly recommend Mal's services. Very professional.

The reports covered everything about the property and were pretty thorough.
I met Mal when he came and did Pest and Building Inspections at a house I was renting that was for sale. I took notice of how long he was there, the things he looked at and was quite amazed at how much he wrote down (the house was fairly new so not a lot wrong with it). I asked for his business card once he was completed as I was eventually going to buy a place of my own.
12 months later as I was looking at properties I remembered and hoped he was still inspecting. A quick google search confirmed he was and once I found 'the one' I booked the inspections online. I also added a few questions about a couple of areas I wanted him to pay particular attention to.
My inspections were booked and completed within a few days and the day afterwards I received the reports via email. The questions I had asked at the time of booking were answered clearly. The reports covered everything about the property and were pretty thorough.
I'm glad I came across Mal Wright and had him do the inspections. He has helped me immensely and the reports have helped me understand what I will need to prioritise in maintenance.

Your're doing a great job! I discovered you by google searching and found your website to be the best. Then I began asking agents at inspections if you were good and most of them said that you were too anal and thorough but they would use you. They are right and we were so impressed with you and your thoroughness and advice and your easy to understand report. It's such a nerve racking process buying property so thanks for your help and wish us luck.

Mal Wright was a pleasure to deal with from initial contact to receipt of his inspection reports
I met with Mal on-site after he had completed his inspection. He walked me around the property, informed me of potential issues associated with the building and identified termite activity within on-site vegetation to help me make an informed decision prior to the purchase of the property. Mal was professional, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. His report documentation is particular and well-informed. Highly recommended and I will be referring him to my friends.

Good morning Malcolm
Please accept this email as a thank you for your thorough and prompt reports.
We are from Sydney and have been recently posted at Williamtown so we are new to the area, we went with the referral from fellow RAAF staff member my husband works with who highly recommended you and from your reports we can see why.
The reports were very easy to read and understandable, the pictures also helped. We liked that you followed up with a call to see if there was anything we need clarification on.
When we went to our Conveyancer and she asked who we were using to do our pest and building reports; when we mentioned your name her reply was "his the best your in great hands although the agent won't be happy"; " don't be surprised if the agent doesn't try and talk you into using another inspector"
We ended up buying the property although we provided a list from your report for rectifications under contract. Thanks we will also be recommending you.

Our Real Estate agent didn't seem overly impressed when I told him I was using Mal Wright to complete Pest and Building Inspections on the property I was buying. I took that as a good sign lol. Mal was great - friendly and helpful. The reports covered all the rooms in the house as well as the garage and shed down the back. Colour photos included. I rang him a couple of times afterwards as well and he was very obliging and a wealth of information. More than happy with the results.

Mal Wright completed a Handover inspection on our new home in Gillieston Heights.
Mal Wright completed a Handover inspection on our new home in Gillieston Heights. We weren't happy with the way a few things had been finished and the builder actually told us that they were fine. We spoke to a few people who told us we had every right to get an independent inspection done. The builder very reluctantly let the inspection go ahead and what a surprise we got when Mal picked up several other defects that we had no idea about. The builder has so far tried to palm us off and we have had to approach his supervisor to get the items fixed. Luckily we have everything in our reports and we are so grateful we had the inspection done. Thanks Mal.

If you’re after an honest inspector, Mal Wright is the only person for the job in my opinion.
I had read an inspection report that was at a property I looked at in Newcastle. The report made the house look too good to be true - there was nothing wrong. I was hesitant though. I'm always wary of something 'too good to be true' so I called Mal Wright to do an inspection for me. His reputation as 'Mr Pedantic' had me intrigued. I had to wait a couple of days (you'd be worried if they weren't busy, right?) My reports were emailed the day after the inspection. What a surprise when Mal had picked up about 10 defects inside & outside of the property. A lot were minor problems but there were a couple that needed attention sooner rather than later. It made me sick to think that the other report was being shown to potential buyers giving them false hope. If you're after an honest inspector, Mal Wright is the only person for the job in my opinion.

"Mal inspected a Victorian Era property for us, one which we had many concerns over due to its age. From the outset Mal provided timely, thorough and direct assistance. It began with the efficient and timely booking and inspection, and continued with the most complete building and pest inspection I have received to date. An email, followed by a phone call talked through all the issues he found, and was followed up by in the mail by a hard-copy of his inspection. Throughout, Mal showed integrity and directness.

Best money we ever spent. Can’t thank Mal enough.
We have had a number of pre-purchase inspections over the years but none have been so thorough and impressive as the inspection done by Mal.
Mal took the time before, during and after the inspection to make sure we were fully informed and understood the process and the report. Mal had lots of knowledge and went above and beyond. Thanks for the information about the solar system, it was something we never would have known.
The report enabled us to negotiate a good purchase price. Mal's report was easy to understand and included a lot of information usually missed by other inspectors. We will use this to prioritise our renovations and make our money stretch as far as possible.
Thanks Mal, you are awesome.

I was looking at buying a property in Cameron Park so I used Mal to do my Pest and Building Inspection.

I was very pleased with the reports that were produced and the professionalism that Mal has
I have had Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections look at 2 different properties for us in the Cessnock area. The first property Mal went to complete the Pest and Building Inspection but could not get into the subfloor of the property as there was no access. The Real Estate arranged to have a door installed and Mal returned to finish the inspection a few days later only to find there was Termite activity. I didn't go ahead with purchasing that one but luckily the second property I looked at a few weeks later, the inspection went a lot smoother. I was very pleased with the reports that were produced (for both properties) and the professionalism that Mal has. I wouldn't hesitate in using Mal's services again as it has been extremely beneficial.

I have had Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections look at 2 different properties for us in the Cessnock area. The first property Mal went to complete the Pest and Building Inspection but could not get into the subfloor of the property as there was no access.

I wonder if every inspector is this thorough? Maybe you need to ask yourself that before you book someone else.
I contacted Mal after a friend (who is a Real Estate agent) mentioned he had done inspections on his newest property purchase. He'd said how great Mal was and I should book him in to look at the house I was buying.
I went home and googled Mal Wright and was very impressed with what I read on both his website and the Google reviews. I rang his office the next day and booked an inspection.
There was a couple of days wait but really, if he was quiet and could do it straight away, I'd be questioning that! It gave me time to go back to the house and have another look in the meantime anyway. I also gave Mal's office a call and asked if they could double-check a few things while he was there. And they were more than happy to accommodate that request too.
The day after the inspection I was emailed the reports and Mal followed up with a phone call later that day. The things I'd asked for to be looked at were included in the report, there were colour photos and recommendations for repairs.

Wow Incredible
To Mal Wright
My name is Samuel Shields and you recently inspected a property for me and my partner and we would like to thank you for the the pest and building report which blew us away with the quality of your services and how easy it was to read the reports; it was the best money I've spent on preliminaries.
The thermal camera was incredible a major water leak was detected with the thermal imaging camera that was not detectable with a naked eye which has now been fixed to prevent water damage occurring as the agent had their builder go out and fix it on our request while the purchase is under way. Thanks heaps and we will use you again on our next purchase.

Your report and advice, even after my report was completed, were invaluable.
I just wanted to say Thank You as you were so helpful to me in dealing with the builder of my house in Aberglasslyn. Being the first house I’ve ever built, I couldn’t have done it without you! Your report and advice, even after my report was completed, were invaluable.

Thanks to Mal for performing Pest and Building Inspections on a house I was looking at in Beresfield - he literally saved me thousands! The house wasn't in the best condition, I know, but the number of things that needed repairs still surprised me. I was able to use Mal's reports to go back to the agent and negotiate a better price. I would highly recommend getting Mal out to complete a thorough Pest and Building Inspection done on any property purchase!

They made all the other arrangements and even sent a copy of the reports to my Conveyancer
I was buying my first house in Aberglasslyn and feeling a little swamped by all the paperwork I had to fill in and sign but I didn't feel like that with my inspections. I just called up Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections, they took all my details and I paid over the phone. Done. Nothing else to worry about. They made all the other arrangements and even sent a copy of the reports to my Conveyancer once they were completed. What a relief. Mal even phoned me a day later to see if I had any questions. So Thank you for your assistance, Mal. I really did appreciate it and will pass on your details to friends and family.

Thank you Mal for completing our Pest and Building Inspections at a property we bought in Whitebridge. We wanted someone who would go over the house with a fine-tooth comb so we chose you! (We noticed even your website refers to you as 'Mr Pedantic'). The fact that you called us after spending almost 2 hours at the property to talk to us, shows your dedication to your work. And we got our reports the next day as well. We are very happy with our reports and your services and will happily recommend you to anyone.

Your added service of Meth Testing was invaluable
My husband and I were purchasing property in Beresfield. Due to the amount of damage to the house from the previous tenants, we were concerned for the house being contaminated with Methamphetamine due to a recent newspaper story we had read. It was very handy to be able to add a Meth Test to the pre-purchase inspection for a small fee. The results coming back positive allowed us to factor in the cost of a professional clean. Thank you again for your inspections the recommendation to use your services was warranted and we will also be recommending your services to others.

The amount and type of defects he picked up amazed us.
Both myself and my daughter were building our houses in the same estate in Cameron Park at the same time and we initially questioned the necessity of engaging an independent building inspector. After speaking to a few friends we decided to engage Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to complete a Handover Inspection. Mal was fantastic and very helpful. The amount and type of defects he picked up amazed us. We were able to go back to our builder with the confidence to make sure these areas were fixed before moving in. Thanks Mal.

Mal’s report was very thorough and identified the reasons behind the cracking
I'm a home owner and rent my house out through a Real Estate Agency in Maitland. I was having some issues in the house with cracking, so the Real Estate recommended I had a Defects Inspection completed and gave me details to contact Mal Wright. The booking process was very efficient - the staff contacted the Real Estate and the tenant to book it all in with no fuss. Mal's report was very thorough and identified the reasons behind the cracking which enabled me to have a builder come in and fix exactly what was wrong.

They booked us in on a Saturday afternoon (our cooling off period ended on the Monday!).
Can I say a big, big thanks to Mal from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. We were let down by another building and pest company who canceled our Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspections in Maryland the day before it was due to be completed as someone was sick. My wife and I had both taken the day off work so we could be there for the inspection. We were having trouble getting any companies to do the inspections due to the last minute notice when I decided to go for a drive. I saw Mal's car at a property where he was doing an inspection so I decided to wait. When he was leaving I approached him and explained what had happened. After having a chat with him he said he could do it, so I rang his office gave them all the details and they booked us in on a Saturday afternoon (our cooling off period ended on the Monday!). We received the reports via email on Sunday morning and they were very detailed. All I can say is that Mal Wright saved the day! Many, many Thanks!

If you are in need of an experienced and thorough inspector, Mal should be on the top of your list.
My wife and I were purchasing a property in Aberglasslyn and our Conveyancer recommended Mal Wright to complete the Pest and Building Inspections. We googled him first to see what his reviews were like and after reading them, happily booked in our inspections. We read on his website that he was 'Mr Pedantic' and we believe he certainly is after reading our reports. Everything and more was covered in the inspection and this was reflected in our reports.

More thorough than the opposition
When I was going off to buy my first house I thought it was a good idea to get two inspectors in. Off the first report we would have bought the house. When reading Mal's report however we reconsidered. Mal picked up on many defects that the first inspector missed, many of which would have cost us thousands in the very short term. He inspected our second choice and we are the proud owners of a home that needs minimal work. Thanks Mal.

He was very helpful (I had lots of questions) and the reports were just as detailed.
Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections came and completed inspections on my house around 6 months ago when I was selling. I found the reports very helpful as it detailed what areas needed maintenance and I could also let potential buyers know exactly what condition the house was in.
I was so impressed with his attention to detail that I wanted him to be able to do Pest and Building Inspections for me when I bought my next property. Well, I've just settled on a lovely house in Tea Gardens and Mal went and did the inspections for me. He was very helpful (I had lots of questions) and the reports were just as detailed.
He really does complete these inspections with the buyer in mind (not the vendor or the real estate agent).

Mal was highly recommended to me as his Thermal Imaging Camera is one of the best
So glad I used Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections! I was buying a house in Maitland and needed Pre-Purchase inspections. Mal was highly recommended to me as his Thermal Imaging Camera is one of the best and since I was buying an older house I wanted the inspection to be thorough. Unfortunately, his camera picked up a water leak in the main bathroom and there was also termite damage in an area under the house. I didn't end up purchasing that property, and I'm still looking, but I will definitely be giving Mal a call once I find another one.

So my Pest and Building Inspection has just saved me quite a few thousand dollars in repairs I didn’t know I would have needed.
I was buying a house in Fingal Bay and had Mal Wright do the inspections for me. I was hesitant at doing them at first but my Conveyancer said they were always helpful and showed up things about the house I wouldn't know.
Well, it turns out there was a water leak inside a wall that couldn't be seen. But Mal could see it with his special Thermal Imaging camera. How handy is that? So my Pest and Building Inspection has just saved me quite a few thousand dollars in repairs I didn't know I would have needed.
I'm very thankful for Mal and his camera. I would highly recommend his services.

After looking at the website and google reviews I was happy with what I saw.
I have bought and sold many homes over the years and have read so many inspection reports. I recently purchased a house in Port Stephens however and Mal Wright was recommended to me. After looking at the website and google reviews I was happy with what I saw. I spoke with Mal before the inspection and voiced my concerns and he was going to double check different areas of the house for me whilst he was there. The reports covered the areas I was worried about and more... Plus Mal offered to chat over the phone after I had read the reports in case there was anything I didn't understand. After all of my dealings with inspectors, he has by far been the most thorough. I will certainly use his services again if I purchase more property and will recommend him to any buyers.

I found the reports easy to read and my Conveyancer also commented that they were very informative.
I was recently looking at purchasing a property in Rutherford and my Conveyancer suggested getting a Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection completed. After speaking with Mal on the phone and 'picking his brain' I went ahead with his services. I wouldn't recommend going ahead and buying a property unless you get this done. Mal picked up on the little things, but also got into the roof and checked everything out in there, as well as looking at the condition of fences, sheds and the carport. I found the reports easy to read and my Conveyancer also commented that they were very informative. Very pleased with Mal's service, expertise and professionalism.

He was only concerned about a couple of things which put our minds at ease a lot.
After looking at several properties in the Medowie area, we finally found 'the one' and so began all the phone calls with agents, banks, accountants and inspectors! We were blessed to have been told to use Mal Wright a few months beforehand and had already spoken to him about getting a Pest and Building Inspection completed. We knew we would have a couple of days wait but in the end it was definitely worth it (and we received the reports within our cooling-off period). He was only concerned about a couple of things which put our minds at ease a lot. And speaking with Mal on the phone after we had our reports was also great - he answered a lot of questions for us. All his reviews seem to say similar things - that's because all of it is true! Thanks Mal.

Thank you so much no wonder the agents only use you for thier own purchases.
Hi Mal, we were referred to you by a friend who insisted we use you.
Your report was extremely thorough and easy to read the pictures also helped.
We saved over $10,000 being able to use to negotiate the major defects which we will rectify after we move in.
The thermal imaging camera was amazing picking up the roof leak near the skylight in the kitchen which was not able to be seen by eye.
I will use you and recommend to my friends.

It was apparent to us that he works for the person buying the home (his clients), not the vendor or agent.
We bought a house in Tea Gardens and Mal Wright was recommended to us to get Pest and Building Inspections completed. He was very polite and professional on the phone when I called to book in the inspections. He also made all the arrangements with the Real Estate to get in to the house so we didn't need to do much at all! The reports were emailed the day following the inspection and they were easy to read. I had a couple of questions though and Mal was more than happy to chat on the phone about them. We now know why Mal was recommended to us. It was apparent to us that he works for the person buying the home (his clients), not the vendor or agent. Thanks.

He was very polite and professional on the phone when I called to book in the inspections. He also made all the arrangements with the Real Estate to get in to the house so View Full →

I was super impressed with the service that he provided.
I recently enlisted Mal from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to conduct a Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection on a property I was looking at in Mayfield and I was super impressed with the service that he provided. Mal was very easy to deal with, he was extremely professional and thorough in conducting the inspection, and he provided a very clear and comprehensive detailed written appraisal of the property. He was also extremely knowledgeable regarding some minor and major structural defects on the property. Post-inspection, I had a couple of questions to ask regarding the property, and he was only too willing and obliging to take my call and assist me with my questions. I will continue to use Mal's services, and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends - or anyone else - to conduct a Building and/or Pest Inspection for them.

I would highly recommend Mal to anyone looking at purchasing a house.
This is the third time I have used Mal Wright for my Pest and Building Inspections and each time Mal has been professional and well presented. I found his reports easy to read and if there was anything I didn't understand he was more than happy to explain things to me. It was third time lucky and I recently signed off on my house at Aberglasslyn. I would highly recommend Mal to anyone looking at purchasing a house. Thanks again Mal.

My Conveyancer recommended Mal Wright so I did a booking online.
I was buying a unit in Lambton and needed a Building Inspection done before the cooling off period ended. My Conveyancer recommended Mal Wright so I did a booking online. I received a response the same day giving me the confirmed inspection date. My report was great and I was very pleased with the overall result. Very happily recommend him.

He seemed very knowledgeable and we are both grateful for his input.
Mal was very helpful when my partner and I were purchasing our first property. It wasn't gorgeous and we knew it needed work but we had great plans for it. Mal spoke with us in regards to which walls were load-bearing and gave us a few ideas of what we could do differently. He seemed very knowledgeable and we are both grateful for his input. We will be recommending him to anyone and everyone!

If we hadn’t got these reports we would have been none the wiser. Money well spent!
Mal had previously completed inspections for us when we had bought a unit to use as a rental in Nelson Bay and we were looking at buying another place in Fingal Bay for ourselves. He was just as polite and work focused as he was when we first met him. We weren't concerned about to much with the property we looked at and the report told us almost the same except the Pest Report picked up a couple of issues that we hadn't realised could be serious if left unmanaged. Luckily we were able to bring these to the attention of the Real Estate agent and had them amended before the sale of the property went through. If we hadn't got these reports we would have been none the wiser. Money well spent!

Mal explained everything verbally over the phone straight away which gave us immense confidence to buy the house.
I needed to get a Pest and Building Inspection before my cooling off period ended and approached Mal Wright Pest and Building. They arranged my inspection for the next day, but the real estate agent messed up the schedule so the inspection had to be postponed to the day after. Mal's office staff organised all this for me without glitch. As the reports were going to be emailed out the day after my inspection, Mal explained everything verbally over the phone straight away which gave us immense confidence to buy the house. Would highly recommend.

I received an emailed copy as well as a printed copy of the reports!
I purchased a house in beautiful Nelson Bay and Mal Wright went and completed the Pest and Building Inspections. I'd had Mal do inspections for me years ago when I bought a house in Newcastle, so I knew what to expect. He was still just as thorough and I received an emailed copy as well as a printed copy of the reports! A couple of days after I'd had time to read the reports, I phoned Mal and picked his brain over a few things. He took the time to explain things and was very polite. I can't recommend his services enough! He should be the first person you call if you buy a house.

I was drawn in by the use of Thermal Imaging and the simple fact that he is FULLY INSURED.
I was buying a house in Bolwarra and needed a Pest and Building Inspection done, so I googled...… There were quite a few. Mal Wright stood out though when I looked at the website. I was drawn in by the use of Thermal Imaging (some companies charged extra for this) and the simple fact that he is FULLY INSURED. I had to wait a few days for my inspection to be completed but I'm glad I did. The reports were comprehensive, included photos and details of defects. I also received them the next day via email and a copy in the mail in less than a week. I'm impressed. I'm hoping to use Mal's services again in the future, but will highly recommend him to everyone in the meantime.

These inspections are such a great way to look at the property with a different set of eyes
I had a Pest and Building Inspection completed by Mal Wright around 6 months ago. He was very professional and picked up a lot of things that I didn't actually see. These inspections are such a great way to look at the property with a different set of eyes (someone who isn't just looking at the colour of the benchtops or the carpet). I can highly recommend Mal for any inspection you require!

Thank you for doing my Handover Report
You recently performed a handover building inspection at a dwelling I was having built in Aberglasslyn. The builder did his quality control and was ready to hand the house over, however a friend of mine advised me not to take possession until you had performed your handover inspection which was good advice. After receiving your super thorough report it became apparent that your standards of quality were understandably higher than my builders. On your advice I served a copy of your report to my builder who happily fixed all the defects you noted which would have been difficult to rectify after I had moved all my furniture in because of the dust and excess paint that would have been caused from the rectifications. It was a pleasure to see somebody who takes great pride in their inspections with such an eagle eye for detail. I would happily recommend you to anybody else having a new house built.

We can now breathe a little easier knowing there are no major problems with the property.
Mal came to our rescue when we urgently needed an inspection completed on a house we were buying in Medowie. We already knew of Mal as he had completed inspections for us some years ago but my wife thought I had called him and I thought my wife had called... so we were down to the last few days on our cooling off period and it had to be done! Mal was able to squeeze us into his already busy week and get our inspection done. We are so grateful for your help, Mal. We can now breathe a little easier knowing there are no major problems with the property. We just have to start packing.... Anyone want to help?

I guess the moral to this is – ALWAYS get a Pest and Building Inspection done.
I had been undecided as to whether I wanted to pay the extra money to get a Pest and Building Inspection done. I didn't think it was really necessary. The house looked fine?!?
My Conveyancer had recommended Mal (and a couple of other inspectors) when I'd had an appointment and I'd looked at each online. Mal's website was impressive - lots of information & good reviews. I still wasn't 100% convinced but when my conveyancer pushed a bit more, I had to book one.
I had a week to get it done due to my cooling off period ending. Mal had it booked in and completed within a couple of days. He actually called me from the house on the day he was doing my inspection to have a chat to me. Turned out he'd found termite damage - but luckily no live ones. It was still going to be a process to get another inspection to check for further damage inside the walls and then repair the damage. It certainly gave me something to think about that day.
I guess the moral to this is - ALWAYS get a Pest and Building Inspection done. If I hadn't done it, I'd be living in a house that quite possibly could be falling down around my ears.
Mal's reports helped us negotiate with the vendors with price and repairs, so we are very grateful.

The house I was buying in Maitland wasn’t new so I wanted someone who would be very particular.
After much online research I booked my Pre-Purchase Inspections with Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. The house I was buying in Maitland wasn't new so I wanted someone who would be very particular. Mal certainly delivered! He found quite a few things that needed repairs and also reported on the roof space and subfloor (which I wasn't able to look at during my inspection of the house). I knew there would be problems and I'm glad I had Mal to cover everything for me. We went ahead with the purchase and knew up front what we needed to do so we budgeted for that. More than happy with Mal's help and expertise.

I recently purchased a second property and called Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections as I had used them previously.

Within a couple of days, I had my inspection completed and the reports emailed to me.
I was so stressed about looking at houses and buying and all the money involved that I left it up to a friend of mine to find a Pest and Building Inspector. He works in Real Estate and he didn't even have to think about who he was going to recommend - 'Mal Wright is the only one' he said, so I asked him to book it in for me. Within a couple of days, I had my inspection completed and the reports emailed to me. There were a few things I noted after reading them that I didn't quite understand, but Mal was happy to discuss the report over the phone with me and I'm so glad he did! He was understanding and took the time to explain things to me. Thanks Mal.

I would highly recommend anyone building a new house to get a Handover Inspection done before you move in
I was Building a new house out at Gillieston Heights. It came towards the end of the build but there were a few items that I wasn't happy about so I had Mal Wright come in and complete an independent Handover Inspection for me. Mal walked through the whole house and inspected everything from the paintwork to the tiling and the hardware. I was so impressed and it gave me what I needed to get things fixed by my builder before I moved in.

The money we spent on your reports was a real saving.
Hi Mal
My husband and I recently used your professional services to inspect a property at Cliffleigh and your Pest and Building Reports were very thorough which helped us request some repairs and rectifications to be done before we took possession of the property. The colour photographs helped a lot and the defects you noted would have cost over $5000 for us to rectify ourselves so the money we spent on your reports was a real saving. I will recommend you to everyone, thanks again.

I was tossing up if the slightly higher price was worth it.
This was the first time I used Mal, but the 4th building & pest inspection I have purchased. To be honest, I was tossing up wether the slightly higher price was worth it, but after the detail and service I received, I now know it was definitely worth it. Although I can't comment on other companies work, I can say that they certainly didn't sound as thorough or confident of their process. If anyone is unsure about using Mal, DON'T BE, he really is Mr Pedantic IMHO, even picking up on a minor defect at the front of the house that I walked straight past several times. He also gave me invaluable information on the extent of some of the more major defects that I wasn't sure about. And this is coming from someone who is pretty hands on. I think you will always get value out of an inspection by Mal.

Thank you Mal for your help with our recent property purchase. We appreciate you taking time out of your day to call us once we had the reports to go over a few things. We can highly recommend your services.

Thank you for the extremely thorough reports.
I have used your services once again; as you have done 5 reports for me in total now over the past 15 years as we keep coming back, as your reports are the best I have seen.
The real estate agent tried very hard for me to use their guy and cringed when I told him I was using Mal Wright, although he did agree you are very thorough and "good for the buyers" was his exact words and since I'm a buyer we went with you once again.
Thankyou for the quick turn around of the reports and great to see you still post hard copies, love the presentation folders.
Keep up the good work and we hope your well.

Thank you so much for your excellent service
I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you so much for your excellent service for our Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection in Cessnock. As first home buyers we know very little about buying houses. However it was great to look at the photographs and it was so informative and really made us aware of all the significant details and building legalities involved when buying a house (particularly an old one!).
We will definitely be recommending your business to everyone we know, so once again, thank you very much.

The reports were in very clear words (not very technical so I could understand them).
Thanks to Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. We were getting a Pest and Building Inspection done prior to selling. Mal was there right on time and went through the whole house and took a lot of photos. He also pointed out what defects were minor vs major. The reports were in very clear words (not very technical so I could understand them). Very comprehensive reports and supreme service. On a side note, I personally enjoyed chatting with Mal. Many Thanks!

I can see why agents don’t recommend him. He found absolutely every little (and big) thing that was wrong with the house I was buying!
I met Mal through a friend who was a Real Estate agent a couple of years ago. My friend didn't really recommend Mal to people buying property off him but since I was a friend buying a house through another agent, he said Mal was the man to get. I can see why agents don't recommend him. He found absolutely every little (and big) thing that was wrong with the house I was buying! Don't get me wrong - this isn't a bad thing (unless you are the one selling the house). I thought it was great! I would want to know what was wrong beforehand so I can make an informed decision about the house I was intending on buying. I liked the addition of the photos and Mal also told me I could call him if I didn't understand anything. He was a great help, and I would recommend him to everyone buying a house!

Our Church used you so we also used you and we are very impressed.
Hi Mal,
Our church used you and recommended you to us so we used your services to be grateful for your report.
We received a pest and building report from the seller and decided to get our own report and I thank god for that as you identified many defects the sellers report did not note. We had a builder in on your advice to go through your thought pest and building Report to quote on rectifying all the defects too discover there was $25000 worth of work to be done which we would not have been aware of. We negotiated a better price on the property and continued with the purchase. We are getting the repairs done before settlement to minimize disruption.
We thank you so much, your help and service is amazing. Thank you for taking the time on the phone to discuss the reports even though it was 7pm you still answered your phone which we were surprised at although very grateful.
The photos in the report was very helpful along with the well presented printed reports you sent to us.
Tracy and Sam Lewis.

We will happily hand out Mal’s name and number to anyone we come across who is buying or selling!
Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections did pre-purchase inspections for us on a property in Chisholm we were interested in. Although it was a fairly new house, we still wanted peace of mind that everything was going to be ok and there were no maintenance issues that would break the bank. They emailed our reports to our conveyancer as well as us which saved us time when speaking with our Conveyancer again - she'd already had time to read them. We will happily hand out Mal's name and number to anyone we come across who is buying or selling!

Thanks to Mal I have been able to contact suitable trades
I own a couple of investment properties in Newcastle and Mal initially did the pre-purchase inspections on these when I first bought them quite a few years ago. They have been leased out for a while now but one of them the tenant had noticed some cracking inside the house and doors becoming difficult to open/close. I immediately phoned Mal to get his opinion and he came out and did what he called a 'Special Purpose' inspection. After making arrangements with the tenant, he went out and inspected inside the house and the subfloor. I received my report from him the same week and after reading through it, gave him a call to go through a few things I didn't understand. I'm glad it's not a major problem but will still obviously need rectifying. Thanks to Mal I have been able to contact suitable trades and I have it all in writing what is wrong when they ask. I can highly recommend Mal for any type of inspection you need done.

They covered all aspects of the house – inside and out
Mal recently performed a Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection for us at a property in Gresford we were looking at. We knew there were a few smaller problems and that the outcome wasn't going to be all roses, but we were still surprised at how much detail had gone into our reports. They covered all aspects of the house - inside and out - as well as listing any faults/defects with suggestions how to repair them. We were very happy with our reports and believe they are money well spent - you never know what hidden problems they may find!

It is a true saying that “you get what you pay for”.
Dear Mal,
I wanted to say thank you for the great service you provided us. You were prompt, professional and went above and beyond with your help and advice. It is invaluable to feel as though the house that we are going to retire in has been so thoroughly investigated.
It is a true saying that 'you get what you pay for' and I am sure had we gone for a 30 minute "cheapie" we would have been paying out a lot in the future.
Once again thank you,

We are considering having inspections done at regular intervals with Mal Wright to make sure we stay on top of it.
I rent a property out through a Real Estate Agency in Maitland and the tenants had noticed a few problems at the property. The real estate suggested getting a Defects Inspection done so we could pinpoint what was wrong. I was impressed with how thorough Mal's report was and he actually picked up on quite a few minor problems. It has been a great tool to help us keep the maintenance up to date. We are considering having inspections done at regular intervals with Mal Wright to make sure we stay on top of it.

When I buy my next property, I’ll be calling again for sure.
I had Mal inspect a house for me about 12 months ago and he was pretty thorough, so when it came time to get Pest and Building Inspections done again for another house recently he was the first person I called. I only needed a Building inspection this time as I was buying a Unit in East Maitland but his service wasn't any different. I still received a well-presented and informative report. When I buy my next property, I'll be calling again for sure.

Overall, I was very pleased with how smoothly everything went and the quality of the reports was exceptional.
I bought a house in Cliftleigh earlier in the year and the Real Estate agent gave me some names of Pest and Building Inspectors so I could get an inspection done. I checked out their websites and a couple weren't licensed or insured and others just didn't have positive reviews. Whilst doing my research I came across Mal Wright. His website looked good and his reviews were great so I gave him a call to discuss booking an inspection. After speaking with Mal I went ahead and booked an inspection online - which was quick and easy to follow and after the inspection my reports were emailed to me the next day. Overall, I was very pleased with how smoothly everything went and the quality of the reports was exceptional. Mal will be the first Inspector on my list in the future.

Unlike some of his competitors, Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections spends as long as it takes, sometimes over 4 hrs inspecting your potential new home or investment, he actually crawls inside the roof and under the floor areas if there is a sub floor area to find any faults that you NEED to know about. The in depth of the Building and Pest Inspection Reports are easy to read. The reports are presented in layman’s terms that include pictures so they are able to be read and understood by you, the client. Mal will discuss the report in full with you the client if required to make sure you fully understand the reports.
You will find operators who are up to $100 cheaper, BUT the faults that they miss could cost you 10s of thousands of dollars ($$$) in the long run from not knowing what you are getting into before purchasing the property.

About our pricing
Mal Wright takes anything between 2 hours and 4 hours on average to carry out an on-site Pre-Purchase Pest & Building Inspection Report on a dwelling and property with more time after the on-site inspection. Proofing every individual report in the office for every individual client so each report is customized to each inspection as my reports are not a generic spat out report or a tick list. The reports are easy to read as we report in layman’s terms and include pictures so they are able to be read and understood by you the client. Every one of our clients is welcome to the free service of individual time discussing the report for as long as they require to give a full understanding of their purchase.
Mal Wright Pest Building Inspections also has a very expensive state of the art Thermal Imaging Camera which is used on every inspection and a Flexi Borer Scope Camera as optional tools on request for a low additional price if required and the only Building Inspector with these exact additional tools in the Newcastle, Port Stephens and Hunter areas for Pest & Building inspections.
Thermal Imaging can pick up water leaks and termites that the naked eye may miss during a standard visual Pre-Purchase Pest & Building Inspection Reports so, well worth using thermal imaging on one of the most expensive investments of your life, being the property you intend to purchase.
The Flexi Borer Scope camera would only be used if a concealed defect was evident in the building and or pest report and further investigation was required at a later inspection date with the vendors (owners) permission saving having to dismantle walls to see concealed defects and this equipment can take photographs and video footage of the inside of the walls or areas concealed with only a 8mm hole or gap required to access these areas.
You can NOT possibly do an building or pest inspection from looking just from the manhole and not actually crawl through roof spaces and sub floor under dwellings areas. You can not do a proper building or pest inspection in 10-15 minutes; although some pest and building inspectors can do both in that time.
You may save a $100.00 or so using a cheaper inspector and this may cost you thousands even 10s of thousands of dollars in the long run.
You really need a reputable building expert to perform a building inspection that has had hands on building experience rather than a professional whom has only done a course. You also need a Timber pest inspector that is accredited and that has the knowledge and years of experience like Mal Wright has.
