Pest and Building Inspections Port Stephens

Very happy with the pre-purchase inspection report we had done - Brad provided a very thorough and detailed report in a timely manner. He also willingly answered any and all questions we had about the property via phone call after the inspection. Very happy to recommend this company for pre-purchase building and pest inspections

A little on the pricier side, but very professional and I will use them again. Hey, no termites so thats a big PLUS 🙂

Very helpful. Would absolutely use again.

We used Mal Wright to do a pest and building inspection on our new house in Newcastle and they were nothing but exceptional. They made it so easy from booking to receiving the report. The report was extremely detailed and made the decision so much easier to make.When spending so much on our home the report was essential. Thanks Team!

Steve was on time, professional and thorough. The inspection document was comprehensive and I will definitely be recommending this firm to friends. Thanks.

Thanks for your information during the inspection.

I've had two incredibly detailed and thorough pre-purchase inspections done, both times being present for the inspections. They were fantastic with questions we had and helped us make informed decisions in our house hunting journey. Can't recommend enough!

Thank you, Mal Wright and team for my thorough pre-purchased pest and building inspection in Newcastle will definitely be recommending you guys to our family and friends.

Very professional pest and building inspection service. The team are very responsive and provide a highly detailed and thorough inspection and report. I would highly recommend this business for pest and building inspections in Newcastle

Detailed, honest and reliable reports. Received on the same day.

Excellent service and very professional , very good communication and feedback after the inspection report is delivered. The technical feedback gave me peace of mind when it came to purchasing the property.

Responsive, great communication and thorough reporting. Highly recommend this service.

Great service, Craig went above and beyond, was able to book us in on a short notice and took the time to give us recommendations for other trades companies too. The report was great, very thorough and informative. Thanks Craig.

Recently requested a Pest and Building inspection through Mal Wright based on google reviews. Craig did not disappoint. Quick reply when contacted, was able to complete the inspection super-fast within the cooling off period. Report was same day and detailed. He found everything I was expecting and a few surprises I missed particularly when it related to building codes and crawling into tight spaces. Craig was also able to refer us to experts for quotes on repairs and improvements as well. A very friendly and professional builder with pride in what he does and clearly cares about his clients. Will use him on my next purchase.

Absolutely awesome company to deal with, they even have a referral system where they can refer you to the right people in the building industry, Craig, Tess and Steve were so helpful. Stick the the best forget the rest.

Great work, thanks

Very thorough and great to work with

Mal Wright pest and building inspections were brilliant to deal with throughout the whole inspection process. Very professional and friendly service that I would recommend to anyone that needs a pest and building inspection done in the future. 👍

Thank you for my thorough Pest and Building Inspections in Port Stephens, he had a lot more detail than the agent supplied report.

Highly recommend, honest and reliable service and bloke. Detailed reports and follow up phone calls can not fault them for my prepurchase home inspection 🙌🏼

Service was honest and reliable for my prepurchase home inspection in the Newcastle and Huntervalley area. Highly recommend 🙌🏼

Your thorough report help me secure my first investment property in the Newcastle area thank you for your quality report and expert advice would recommend anyone looking for a licensed and experienced building inspector

Best value thank you for your quality report.

Mal was fantastic. I would highly recommend him to anyone after a thorough building and pest inspection. He took plenty of time to explain everything. He even managed to entertain my young son showing him how to operate his tools. He was very professional, came at short notice, and his old school values were much appreciated. He met me at the property explained everything and had the report written up the next day.

Mal did an amazing and thorough job investigating property. would highly recommend.

I definitely recommend Mal doing inspection report before make decisions buying property.

Thanks to Mal for providing us with such a detailed report! Has saved us $$$$

Wow!!! If u want a Pedantic, Punctual & Thorough building inspector Mal’s your man…. WHY: *The inspection was so thorough & the report clear and detailed with many relevant photos. *He’s highly professional & approachable. *To aid weight to his inspections he uses an infrared camera to complement his eagle eyes. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Mal & will be using him again myself!! Thank you

Excellent service and very experienced. Money well spent. Saved me an enormous amount of money and heartache. It was clear what he was going to be looking at and what he wasn't. But he certainly wasn't going to be turning a blind eye to anything either. I'm really glad I paid a little bit extra. Very thorough and professional. He was very clear and put in extra time to make sure I knew how serious the situation was. Thank you.

Mal was exceptional in his service. He saved us from purchasing a so called 'perfect' property that was amazing on the surface but full of termites. I can't recommend Mal enough to anyone looking to buy a home. The report was also highly detailed and more thorough than any other I have come across. Thanks Mal.

Mal was great to deal with and very thorough.

Very thorough with his search and easy to get in contact with.

Mal conducted a building inspection for us this past week. We are extremely grateful for the hard work and dedication he put into giving us such a comprehensive report. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mal to anyone seeking a building inspection.

He will go anywhere and everywhere in a house. Thorough and detailed. Thanks Mal. We will talk again soon.

I felt like an idiot paying for a pest and building inspection on a brick strata unit that looked in great condition. I'm lucky I did because Mal found numerous major defects which would have cost a lot to fix, and would have taken a lot of mucking around with strata. Mal provided me with a really easy to read report with pictures that was sent that next day after the inspection. I'll def be using him again. Definitely worth the price for a really detailed report.

Highly recommend Mal for your building and pest inspection! He went above and beyond to inspect a house I’m buying and he was so detailed and very descriptive in his report. We spoke over the phone about the report and settled any worries I had! Couldn’t fault him.

Mal was recommended by a friend, and more than delivered an excellent service. Flexible, professional, highly-skilled and brings years of experience to the task. As well as the inspection, Mal gave a number of great suggestions that we have successfully incorporated into our subsequent renovations. We will certainly be contacting him next time we require such services.

I am extremely happy with pre handover inspection that Mal carried for my investment property. As this if my first investment property and not knowing much about things to look out for before handover, i wanted to go for a professional building inspector. So after reading google reviews of Mal I decided to engage him for the inspection. First of all he took time out of his super busy schedule to fit in my inspection just before Christmas ( huge thanks there as no one would really care in busy schedule specially just before Christmas). Mal did an awesome job being so friendly and professional at the same time. He assured me in everyway and made me feel confident going to the inspection with him. As Mal mentioned he has been a builder himself in the past , he picked every single defect in the property which no way I would have been able to pick myself as owner of the newly built house. Not only was he was super professional and full of knowledge, he helped me all the way to fight getting a driveway re-poured as it was a major defect according to Mal and Australian construction standards. There goes my house value up by $20,000 by having a brand new driveway. I just cannot thank Mal enough for his professional services provided. I will surely engage him for my next investment properties. Guys I cannot recommend him enough for any of your inspection requirements. Thanks Mal

I was extremely pleased with the pest and building inspection Mal had done on our property in Merewether. Mal was highly recommended to us and we have since used him twice. I couldn’t recommend Mal enough he is extremely thorough, professional and helpful. Mal was very accommodating to any questions we had. We will definitely be using Mal again in the future.

Mal inspected our new build in Cliftleigh. He attended at the same time as our final walkthrough with our site supervisor. He conducted his inspection separate to ours and picked up on a couple of things that both us and our supervisor missed. The pictures in the report were very helpful, they gave us a better understanding of some of the defects, partnered with the thorough description. We had the report delivered to our email on the next business day, which we were able to forward on to our site supervisor to address the additional issues that Mal picked up. This fast turn around allowed us to get some of the issues looked at before handover. Thanks for squeezing us in Mal.

Had Mal do a pre purchase and a settlement inspection on a place I bought late last year in Muswellbrook. Couldn’t fault the service and trust me Mal is in your corner and doesn’t miss a thing. Even conveyancer commented on his report that she hasn’t seen anything as thorough.

We have used Mal for 3 building and pest inspections and not once have we been disappointed. He is always professional, extremely thorough and responsive to any questions. We would highly recommend Mal.

I have used Mal Wright to inspect 2 properties pre purchase now and find his work to be very thorough and of an excellent quality. I can guarantee that is him squeezing through that tiny hole to inspect under a house because it is my house in the picture! Mal goes above and beyond to ensure you have the whole story when purchasing your property. Highly recommend.

The inspection Mal carried out was so detailed. He gave us information which ended up being of huge detriment to the value of the property we were purchasing, and we were so thankful that he did. While we didn't go through with purchasing that property we will absolutely use his services again in the future for the next property we purchase. He was so helpful, honest and was the best person by far on our team. Thank you Mal!

We had Mal in to do a pest and building inspection, his report was very detailed but easy to interpret, being first home buyers we were unsure on the property we were purchasing, mal gave us the confidence and information we needed to make a decision. Will use Mal again and recommend to all of our friends going through first home purchases

Thank you Mal for your great service! Mal carried out a very thorough Pest & Building inspection on a property we are looking to purchase. The Pest & Building reports provided are easy to understand, very descriptive with photos also. I will have no hesitation recommending Mal Wright Pest & Building inspections to anyone I know or anyone who requires Pest & Building inspections in the future. Thank you Mal👍

This is my first time to appoint Mal for my building inspection , I really take my hats off for his service I get. I never had such a details of report , I can see he really take pride of his profession no cut corners at all, he absolutely pick up every part of the property nothing can get away, I have to write this review normally I'm too busy to do such a thing but I really need to spent time and let everyone know this guy service absolutely hats off. I'm very happy for his service , I would say here you will get way more than you paid for the service. Not only the report Mal will also spend time explain to you regards the report after you read it. I want to thank him again for his amazing service.

Mal was excellent, thorough and reliable with his searches on our new property. He put loads of effort and time into our report and took the time to call and explain his findings once the inspection was complete. I would certainly use him again for our new property. Thank you!

I recently employed the services of Mal prior to purchasing a property for a building and pest report. Mal was rapid with his response and had fully organised the inspections within a few hours to be done the next day. The reports he produced were incredibly thorough and lived up to my expectations of his inspections being pedantic, very comforting as a buyer. I was then able to talk to Mal and get explanations on certain parts of the report and he answered my questions honestly and with fantastic detail. Thanks again Mal, would highly recommend.

Mal came highly recommended to me , and he did not disappoint an absolute champion of a bloke and highly professional , I have been in construction for over 30 years and have never seen a more thorough building and pest report Thanks mal 👍

Mal’s experience and expertise was evident in the quality of his work which was very much appreciated. He was straight to the point and clear on all aspects of his inspection and report. I will confidently recommend Mal and his team and will definitely use him again.

Most detailed inspection report I've ever read. Very helpful when talking through both the building and pest reports. Love your work, Mal!

We chose Mal from recommendations to do a pest and building on a property we were looking at purchasing. Could not be happier with the services he delivered! Very detailed an extensive report. Highly recommended and well worth it! Very knowledgeable in defects and their causes. Thanks Mal

Mal is a bloody legend i recommend him as he’s very reliable and goes Above and beyond me and my partner where so happy with the service we received 5 star 🌟👌

Mal completed a pest and building inspection for us for a purchase of a new property. We asked Mal to be very detailed and straight to the point and that’s exactly what he did. His reports were sent straight too us and they were very easy to read.

I had Mal do my building and pest inspection for a property that I am looking into buying. My partner (who works in the building industry) and I were so grateful and appreciative at how thorough and detailed the inspection was. Would definitely recommend to others. Thanks Mal!

Mal was very thorough, and very knowledgeable. No skirting around the issues. He told it as he saw it, exactly what I was looking for in a pre purchase inspection. Can highly recommend him

Recently used this business for a pest and building report on a property we were looking to purchase. The report was thorough and detailed giving us the information we needed to make an informed decision to withdraw from the purchase. Glad to pay the fee, this has saved us a huge amount of money in the long run I am sure.

I always knew that when it was time to finally take the plunge and buy a house, that I was going to rely on the best building and pest inspector I could find. And that's why I decided to choose Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspectionswas competitively priced and had good reviews, but I poured over his website and felt confidnet from the moment he responded to my initial email that he was a good operator and knew his business . His attention to detail was as advertised and I was very pleased at how responsive he was in communicating with me. Mal performed a combined building and pest inspection for me, including Meth swabs, and additional requests including inspecting a number of outbuildings, conducting a roof space investigation, and also to identify if specified pests that I am allergic to were present in the house. I also had the pleasure of going out on site and got to discuss my plans for my new home and watch Mal in action. He sure as hell worked for my dollar. He was covered in mud and grime and spiderwebs, and a great big smile and he truly was pedantic in identifying any and all minor and major issues with the property. What should have been a 1.5 hour inspection took far longer and he did it without complaint, making sure to really investigate all the areas needed. In sweltering heat and after normal business hours, Mal kept going until he ticked everything off my list. As Mal's inspection took quite a bit longer than anticipated, he was very upfront that my report would also be delayed by a day on the basis of the detail he wanted to put in the report, and I was happy to wait. I was very happy to get his comprehensive report on the issues the property I was looking at had. While I had elected not to make my purchase contract conditional on the report, utilising an extended cooling off period instead, I was content that I understood what the issues were and had some good ideas on what to do about it, so I went into the sale eyes wide open ( which was great because there were issues , and some things that had not been done correctly by the vendor/ builder that would need to be rectified soon), and I was reassured as to the value and condition of the property thanks to Mal's report and thoroughness. I would not hesitate to recommend Mal to anyone else seeking a buliding or pest inspection. I know that I will certainly use him again should I need his services again and endorse his skills and product as both value for money, and a smart investment in your future peace of mind.

I chose Mal for our pest & building inspection after reading so many positive reviews, and I was not disappointed. Just like previous reviews, I too found him very thorough and his report was very detailed and well worth the money. Easy booking system, punctual, professional, not to mention Mal is just an overall lovely human being. Highly recommended

Very friendly quality service.

I have nothing but praise for Mal Wright! Mal was punctual and extremely professional. He answered all of my silly questions. I am a single woman and I needed good advice from an expert. Mal was really attentive and helpful. Please don't waste your time with the others use MAL WRIGHT for all of your inspections. Thank you again Mal.👍👏🙂

I couldn't recommend Mal Wright highly enough! I have used him on multiple properties over the years and would never consider buying a home without Mal checking it first. He is thorough and I trust the information he gives me.

We 100% recommend anybody buying a home to use Mal for the pest and building report. His reports are extremely thorough and informative, if we had not hired Mal and went with who the agent had suggested we use, we would have bought a house with major structural problems. Thanks again Mal, you saved us a lot of money and headache. We will certainly be back for any future properties and will be letting anybody I know looking at buying a house about you. Cheers

Fantastic, very detailed, concise report by Mal. Response time for pest and building inspection was super fast, and the report itself came really quickly and was really detailed and of enormous usefulness. Thanks to all involved. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Would highly recommend Mal, he went above and beyond with his services to help us out when we had a small issue pop up on our initial building inspection. The communication was excellent and was greatly appreciated by us through this stressful time. Couldn't be happier with his services.

If you ever need a pest and building report, don’t bother with anyone else, Mal’s reports are extremely detailed and delivered in a very timely manner. We have seen many reports over the years and Mal’s reports are by far the best. We had the pleasure of meeting Mal on site who took the time to explain some of the issues and had the report emailed us by the next business day with a hard copy the following day. We will now use Mal for all pest and building reports needs

As a first time home buyer it felt good to have someone on our side. Mal is the best in town! Even my solicitor mentioned the thoroughness of his reports are unbeatable. He doesn't miss a thing! Speaking to him after receiving the report helped make me a more informed decision about the property, saved us an extra 10k. Very knowledgeable, heard about him through a friend, I'm glad I used his services, cheers! Mick and Steph

You want the best inspection I would highly recommend Mal Wright very professional .

Good Morning Mal, I just wanted to thank you very much for the inspection you did on the house we bought at RUTHERFORD. We moved in last weekend and are very happy with the house. The defects you found, we had fixed before we moved in using your report as a tick list. The reason we used you, was when we were selling and you inspected the house for the buyers we saw how thorough you were and how much time you took performing the inspection.

We would like to thank you very much after having used you 3 times till we found the best house in the best condition we could for our money. It was well worth the money spent. You came highly recommended by many people after asking around. We think your office staff were amazing to deal with making all the organisation and transactions effortless. Well done on a good business.

We used Mal Wright for our pest and build and could not recommend a more competent and professional person. He was extremely thorough. The report was generated quickly and we discussed findings over the phone. Mal was also willing to be contacted to offer advice and recommendations after purchase completion. We highly recommend Mal ! Thank you

We recently used Mal to do our pre-purchase Pest And Building inspections and included the Meth testing service Mal provides. We were gobsmacked when the tests came back with a positive contamination of the dwelling. Further tests showed the house had been used for recreational use and the contamination was above the acceptable levels. Quotations came back for a decontamination clean of $8000 and $6000 to re-paint the interior. This was helpful information where we decided not to proceed with the purchase and we will use Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections again soon when we find a suitable property.

We have used Mal Wright's professional Pest & Building service 3 times over the past 2 years in the search for our home. He is meticulous, reliable & ultimately when we finally did purchase our home he went above & beyond to ensure we had total transparency with regards the building & pest inspection. We would recommend his services to anyone serious about purchasing a home as we had the utmost confidence in him & his business. Thanks again Mal! Candice Peters & Tim Montgomery

Very efficient, polite and a detailed report. Thank you

I had Mal do a pre house inspection for my wife and I. He gives a good insight to buyers and we cant be any happier. He checked every thing and the report was great. From first meeting to the last he was professional throughout. I will be recommending his services to my family and friends and no doubt use him in the future. Cheers

I was very happy with Mal’s friendly but professional manner. Being from out of the area I wanted to make sure I had the right person for the job.He kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions and even rang me on-site after the inspection to let me know how things were going. Nothing was too much trouble and I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

Highly recommend Mals services Great customer care and attention to detail with his inspection

This company is one of the most professional businesses I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Mal is amazing, his work is incredibly thorough and his attention to detail is excellent.

Mal was extremely thorough with identifying defects and ensuring we as buyers had a clear understanding of actions required and/or tips to maintain quality. Mal is very friendly and professional, with him taking the inspection seriously and efficiently. I would highly recommend Mal for a Building and Pest Inspection if you are purchasing a home.

I highly recommend Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to anyone out there requiring such services. Mal promptly arranged our inspection and we received both reports the following morning upon completion. I've found purchasing your first home exciting but an also daunting experience as I didn't really know what to look out for and although Mal's reports are incredibly thorough for both building and pest aspects, they are easy to understand giving you reassurance and peace of mind. Believe it when you read on his website that he is known as Mr Pedantic but that is 110% what you want when investing your hard earned money. We're glad we had Mal complete the job and again, will be sure to recommend him to others and use again ourselves when the time comes!

All I can say was Mal was incredible. Easily approachable, and you can definitely tell he works for you in making sure you know everything about the house he is inspecting. Reports are incredibly detailed but written in a very easy to read way so even a dummy like me could understand. Would use Mal again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended

Prompt service and thorough, easy-to- read reports. Really happy and wouldn't hesitate to use Mal again for any future inspections and reports.

Mal supplies a very prompt and detailed report on my property. I’d have no trouble recommending him at all. Thanks again

Mal did a thorough inspection, was very professional and accommodated some additional requests. Great service.

Mal Wright does an un-rivalled job on a Building and Pest Inspection. He is as thorough as it gets, honest as the day is long and top of his craft. I’ve personally compared his report to others and its just no contest. You’d think a different property was inspected and the things missed or lied about by his competitors would send chills up your spine. I’d recommend Mal to anyone and if I ever need another inspection wouldn’t think of using anyone else. Top work Mal and thanks again.

Mal is a very professional building inspector but he’s also a great person. We have used him twice now and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. His service is top shelf.

We would recommend Mal to anyone who requires a Pest and Building Report. We had to cancel our first inspection and expected to have to pay at least a cancellation fee, but Mal did not charge us anything. When we required the Pest and Building report a few week's later, the process was easy and painless. We had the extensive and thorough reports back to us by the next day. Wonderful service and comprehensive reports. Thank you Mal.

Mal undertook a very thorough inspection of what at face value appeared to be a +$1M terrace house in very good condition. His persistence and diligence meant that he identified some major issues (water pooling, timber borer, rising damp etc) under the house. This area was extremely difficult to access (other inspectors would not have gone there), but this was no barrier to Mal. His report gave me the information that I needed to negotiate a significant discount on the already agreed purchase price (we were in the cooling off period). I will use Mal for our next acquisition and would recommend him to you. A good measure of an adviser is how much value they add; Mal's report paid for itself at least 20 times over.

Mal was my type of building inspector. The attention to detail he pays during an inspection is fantastic. For example may be only minor but he picked that the H / C indicators were missing on taps, major issues that i had missed when viewing the home of undulating floors, which could of been a big expense not budgeted for. The infrared camera is just amazing what it shows. Couldn't be happier with his service. Money well spent.

Mal completed a pre-purchase building and pest inspection for a property where our offer had been accepted. The following day we were issued with a thoroughly comprehensive building inspection report and pest inspection report. The building report gave us the ability to successfully negotiate with the vendor to have a substantial amount of work completed at their expense, prior to settlement. Without Mal's reports, we would not have been in this position. We would wholeheartedly recommend Mal to anyone wishing to obtain a buliding and/or pest inspection report for a potential property purchase.

Mal did a Pest and Building Inspection for me last year on a unit I was buying for an investment. I met him at the property once he was finished and he was very helpful and took the time to explain things to me. I can highly recommend his services!

Mal provided an extremely thorough report for our pre-purchase inspection. It was organised with very late notice, but it wasn't too much trouble for him to assist. Would recommend to anyone.

I was very happy with the timely booking of the building inspection, with the attention to detail and thorough reporting of defects.

Mal is phenomenal. He took the time to really explain what was going on, and offered up in depth solutions to the problem areas of the house he inspected. We were able to troubleshoot questionable areas that would have otherwise needed a repeat appointment on the spot. Mal is well worth your money, he is friendly, comes with an awesome sense of humor and most importantly is able to speak in layman's terms so that you really understand the scope of the situation.

Mal is an outstanding building inspector. He went above and beyond and took the time to explain his findings with the property he inspected for me. He's very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile. I could not be more comfortable with my purchase knowing Mal has inspected the home. 10/10 would use again.

I have always found this company to be very professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend for everyone!

Outstanding Service! Mal went above and beyond for my partner and i as we only had a day left to exchange on a house we really loved. I called Mal to discuss certain areas of the report a day after the inspection and he was extremely helpful in helping me to understand certain aspects of the report. If you want the job done right, call Mal!
