Our pre-purchase inspection in Valentine was handled by Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections, and it was the best decision we made during the buying process. Mal arrived on time, inspected every part of the property from the roof cavity to the subfloor, and uncovered moisture issues in the bathroom and poorly ventilated areas under the house. He also discovered signs of termite activity around old retaining walls, which we would never have noticed ourselves. Mal’s detailed report came through the same day and gave us the confidence to negotiate the sale. His local expertise in Lake Macquarie was obvious, and his professionalism was outstanding. We wouldn’t buy another property without Mal on our side. Donnie
