I had to share my experience when navigating the property marked I asked family and friends for advice they recommended CTP Pest and Building Inspections or Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections I chose Mal Wright as he had more experience. I could not believe local agents Shields and Co Property, Creer Property, LJ Hooker Warners Bay all had their preferred inspectors they recommended none of them were licensed builders with NSW Fair Trading and some reports I view was lacking in detail more like a tick and flick something the agent could have produced a matter of fact Leah Jay Property Managers do a more detailed Condition report between tenancies. Mal’s Reports were on point very detailed and had appropriate recommendations. Mal helped me secure my New Home In Redhead and an investment property in Charlestown. Grateful Client.

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 Inspections was competitively priced and had good reviews, but I poured over his website and felt confident 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 building 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.

Easy booking system, punctual, professional, not to mention Mal is just an overall lovely human being. Highly recommended

Mal recently completed a Pest and Building Inspection for us in Rutherford. He provided a quality service with a prompt turnaround of the reports. Mal and his team organised everything, which took away some of our stress during this already stressful time of purchasing our first property. Mal identified the problems from minor issues to major ones. Some of the safety issues identified were a bit worrying but we are working on getting these fixed before we settle.

Thanks Mal

Hi Mal, thanks again for your 5* work on the pest and building inspection at Aberglasslyn. Once again the reports were easy to read and you picked up on some safety concerns that we will be getting addressed before going through with the sale. We will continue to use your services in the future and recommend you to anyone that asks.

Regards

Mal completed a handover inspection for us recently for our new house build. As first time builders we had no idea what we were doing, Mal’s expertise and experience, filled us with confidence to ensure that nothing would be missed before we got the keys. The report was thorough and detailed, the pictures definitely helped. We were able to give the whole report to our site supervisor, who attended to the issues before we accepted the keys at handover.

Hi Mal thanks for your detailed reports and fast responses. Communication during the whole process was great, we appreciated being kept in the loop with how everything was progressing from the initial enquiry all the way to the follow up phone call to discuss some of those concerns we had.

Much appreciated

Highly recommend Mal’s services, he recently performed a pest and building inspection for us at Ashtonfield. We were getting close to the end of our cooling off period and we were very grateful that Mal was able to squeeze us in on such short notice. Mal emailed the reports to us the next day and they were easy to read with pictures showing some of the defects which was very useful.

Thanks Mal

Thank you for your pest and building reports, they were both very thorough and easy to understand. We appreciate your quick responses and good communication. It was really helpful to go through some of the issues over the phone with you, and have our questions answered.

Much appreciated

Hi Mal

Thank you so much for the report and your honesty. We have already decided not to go ahead with the purchase based on your report, we believe it will just be too costly to rectify all of the problems.

We will definitely use your service again when we find another property.

Kind regards

Mal recently completed an inspection on our new build at Chisholm. He inspected on the same day as our walkthrough with the site supervisor. He worked his way around the outside while we were inside and vice versa. He had the report back to us very quickly so we were able to send it through to our site supervisor to add to his list of fixes before handover. Experienced and professional. Great, thanks.

Hi Mal

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for your time and effort on the inspection you did at Ashtonfield for my partner and myself. Your report was very detailed and thorough and we really appreciated the pictures to explain the defects. We will recommend you to anyone that needs a pest and building inspection.

Thanks

Thanks so much for your pest and building inspection at the property in Gillieston Heights. It was such a relief knowing there were no major issues hiding beneath the surface, we appreciate you checking and reporting on a few of those specific concerns we had, it was definitely worth the peace of mind. We are pushing to get those couple of minor issues fixed that you raised before we settle.

Thanks again

Mal is a professional and makes time for his clients. I recently approached Mal about inspecting a property at Gillieston Heights, each time that I called he picked up which was very refreshing. If he couldn’t answer he called me back as soon as he could. Mal and his team organised the inspection quickly and the reports were sent the following business day, which made moving on the property much easier.

Thanks for your assistance Mal

I have used Mal’s services multiple times for pest and building inspections on properties I have been considering buying. Each time Mal picks up so many defects I would not have thought to look out for. The most recent property was at Thornton with minor defects and some safety issues found. Thankfully they are easy fixes and I can move forward with the purchase. Thanks Mal, your service is always prompt and efficient.

Cheers Ed

We recently hired Mal to do a pest and building inspection on a property for us in Metford and thank goodness we did as the house had termites and water damage which we couldn’t afford to fix. We are so glad that we booked the inspection before we put an offer on the house. We are now on the hunt for another house and will be using Mal next time as well.

Cheers

Mal recently 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 us and picked up on a couple of things we missed with our supervisor. The pictures in the report were very helpful to understand some of the defects more clearly. We had the report on the next business day, which we were able to forward to our site supervisor to address the additional issues that Mal picked up.

Thanks for squeezing us in Mal.

We recently had Mal conduct a pest and building inspection on our rental property in Weston that we were considering purchasing. We are very grateful to Mal for the service he provided, he picked up some major problems which we could not afford to fix. We are now on the hunt for another property and will be using Mal again.

Mal inspected our newly built house in Chisholm, it was done on the same day as PCI. Mal picked up a list of defects that the building company’s inspector did not. We gave the builder the list of defects to fix before handover. Booking online was very simple and easy, Mal and his team organised everything. It was lovely not to have to chase things up ourselves like with many other businesses we have dealt with recently.

Thanks Mal

Ellen and Mark

We booked Mal in for a Pest and Building Inspection a few weeks ago for a property in Heddon Greta. He was booked out almost 2 weeks in advanced, we took that as a good sign of a quality inspector, so we were happy to wait. Mal was able to squeeze us in earlier after having a cancellation and we had the inspection completed and report received before our original inspection date. Very pleased with the efficiency and ease of the whole process, after filling in the online booking form, we didn’t have to do anything else except pay. Mal and his secretary organised everything. Thanks again Mal

We recently had Mal conduct a Handover inspection for our house in Chisholm. It happened on the same day as PCI, our supervisor said it wasn’t necessary but we wanted an unbiased opinion. We are thankful for the peace of mind that Mal provided. He found a few minor defects that the building company didn’t. We were lucky that there were no major issues but the cost was worth the relief we felt when we knew the house didn’t have any major problems. Mal had our best interests in mind and not the building company which is what we were looking for.

Thanks Mal

We recently had a pest and building inspection completed by Mal Wright on a house we were purchasing at Cliftleigh. Very happy with the service, Mal and his secretary were friendly and helpful. Mal took the time to go through the report with us. Lots of small things were picked up that we wouldn’t have even thought of. Thanks Mal. – Josh P.

We recently had a property at Largs inspected by Mal. When we called, he was very easy to deal with, he was booked up for the whole week but could get us in the following Monday. We heard he was really good so we were happy to wait. We got a call the next morning to say he had a cancellation and could get us in the following day. We were really grateful he’d taken the time to call us back and get us in earlier. After receiving the report we were amazed at how thorough and detailed it was. Very happy we didn’t go elsewhere.

Thanks Mal

Hi Mal, just wanted to say a quick thank you for your fast and efficient service on our job at Ashtonfield. It was very easy to book online and we appreciated that we didn’t have to do anything after that. Thanks for setting it all up and getting the report to us the morning after.

We recently used Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections for a property in East Maitland that we were considering buying. Mal found a few minor faults and a couple of major ones and he explained everything in great detail. We were able to negotiate a lower price for the property and are now sitting pretty in our new home. Thanks Mal, your experience and expertise provided us with peace of mind when purchasing. – Terry

5/5

We recently moved into our new home in Cliftleigh. Being first time builders we were very anxious during the whole process, worrying about things being missed and trades not caring enough to make sure everything was right. When we were getting close to PCI (practical completion) a close friend suggested we get a private inspector to go through the property, as she had been burned through her own builders mistakes. We trusted our site supervisor, but thought it couldn’t hurt to get a second set of eyes look over the place. Very glad we did, Mal was able to pick up on a list of minor things the builders didn’t; doors not painted on the tops and bottoms, excess concrete on the alfresco area and rainwater tank sections of slab and a few more things which the builder fixed up for us before we moved in. Very happy with the end result, thanks for alleviating our nerves Mal. -Kiera and Pauline

5/5

My husband and I employed Mal’s services last month for a house in Raworth and we were pleasantly surprised at all the little details that were picked up during the pest and building inspection. The report was easy to read, Mal included pictures to help us see some of the issues and went the extra mile to inspect a few concerns we requested. If you are looking at purchasing a house I highly recommend you reach out to Mal and get an inspection done before buying.

Many thank Mary and Greg

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections provide a great service and are very quick at completing the inspection and report. Thanks for walking us through the problems Mal. We will be recommending Mal to our friends and family.

Mal recently inspected a property for us in Aberglasslyn , which we are so grateful for as it saved us a lot of money that we would have wasted trying to get the house to an acceptable condition. We will be using Mal’s services again when we find the right property.

Thanks Mal

We recently purchased a house in Thornton thanks to Mal’s comprehensive reports. He is fast, efficient, honest and tells you how it is. We booked inspection at the start of the week, had the inspection completed, reports given and we were ready to put an offer in by the start of the weekend.

Cheers Mick

Highly recommend a pest and building inspection from Mal Wright. It was our first time buying a house and we were worried about a few things so we called Mal to inspect the house and property at Bolwarra Heights. We received 2 reports the day after inspection and Mal called us and talked us through the issues he found, which was very very helpful. Will recommend Mal to anyone buying a house!!!!!!

– Kristy and Brent

This is our 2nd time using Mal for a pest and building inspection, he is very thorough and has a great attention to detail. He picked up defects that I certainly wouldn’t have even noticed. Thanks for calling us to go through everything. We ended up buying the property at Raymond Terrace.

Many thanks Sophie

We recently had Mal inspect a property for us in Metford. We used the online booking form which was super easy and simple to use, inspection was booked for 2 days later and we didn’t have to do anything else. Mal and his staff organised everything and we got the report back the day after inspection, which was amazing.

Thanks David

Mal has completed 3 separate Pest and Building Inspections for me on different properties.

The first property had termite damage that hadn’t been disclosed by the agent or vendor and we were so grateful we’d had Mal do an inspection and not trusted the agency supplied reports.

The second property everything was going well (or so we thought) until the agent let us know the day after we’d received Mal’s reports that someone else had made a higher offer and signed that day.

Third time lucky… (We were feeling a bit jinxed at this stage). Inspection completed. Reports received. Offer accepted! Phew.

Mal’s professionalism has not wavered during this entire period. He has provided us with a lot of advice encouraging us to stay positive. I must also say that his reports were of an extremely high standard which we were able to easily read and interpret.

If you’re looking at purchasing property my recommendation would be to get Mal out to complete your pre-purchase inspections. It is worth every cent.

 

5/5

I recently purchased a townhouse property in Newcastle and needed a Pest and Building Inspection completed. A family friend had recommended Mal Wright but when I mentioned an inspection to the agent, he said they liked to use someone different. I was a little confused so asked my friend for more information why they used Mal. My friend had almost the same experience – the agent said not to use Mal but he still went ahead and used him as he wanted someone impartial. I went ahead and booked with Mal and once I had received my reports and read through them I understood why the agent wanted to use their own inspector. There were so many defects! Some were only minor but a lot of them the agent had just brushed off as nothing to worry about! It really made me step back and question whether I wanted to go ahead with the purchase. Mal’s help and expertise were great and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking at property.

5/5

After shopping around for the best price for a Pest and Building Inspection, we chose Mal Wright. He wasn’t the cheapest. But after speaking with a few inspectors, he knew his stuff. He listened to my questions on the phone (others just didn’t have time or just weren’t bothered). His secretary took all the details and booked everything in for us & gave us a confirmation date of later that week (yes, he was busy, but that’s another good sign). The reports arrived via email as promised the day after the inspection. I found them easy enough to read and only had a couple of questions in regards to termite treatments which Mal was more than happy to go over on the phone with me. I would definitely use Mal’s services again – he was a great help.

5/5

I recently booked Pre-Purchase inspections online with Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. Being able to book online was handy due to my work hours and the online forms were easy to follow. I’d been given a couple of inspectors numbers but Mal’s website and reviews were much better than others I had read. I was able to get my inspection completed a few days later and asked if I could meet Mal at the property afterwards (I wasn’t sure of the rules due to COVID-19). Mal was happy for me to meet him at the house at a certain time and he was then able to give me a quick run-through of some of the problems he’d found. I still received my reports the next day via email and they have been great to read through and learn what I will need to tend to once I move in. Mal’s service went above and beyond in my opinion and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and refer his business to others.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building did inspections at a property in Newcastle I was selling at auction. He came about a week prior to the day of the auction so we could have the reports on the day to present to potential buyers. This also allowed us to get a quick sale as the purchasers then didn’t have to wait to get Pest and Building inspections done themselves. I have previously used Mal’s expertise on different properties I’ve looked at and he always seemed to find things that a lot of other inspectors would oversee or just not include in their reports. I will continue to use Mal Wright and recommend his business.

5/5

We had recently just finished building a new house in Farley (out towards Rutherford) and needed an independent Handover Inspection completed. We googled a few inspectors but Mal Wright’s reviews were by far the best. He made arrangements to meet the building supervisor at the property to do the inspection and we got our reports the next day. It was a big report. Bigger than I had expected. Sure, I’d had concerns about a couple of things but Mal had picked up on so many defects! I was a little gobsmacked that the builder actually thought they could get away with just ‘ignoring’ issues and we would move in. I’m so glad I had Mal come and do the inspection. We are now waiting to have meetings with the building company and supervisor to get everything remedied. Mal has certainly done an excellent job and even though we now have to wait a bit longer until we move in, I’d do it all over again. You pay so much money building a new house – you’d expect it to be up to standard before you moved in!

5/5

Mal Wright came highly recommended to us by a work colleague who used to work in Real Estate. She said he had a reputation with the agents because he was ‘too good’ at finding problems in properties. This was confirmed when I told the agent I was getting Pest & Building inspections done by Mal. You could tell he was a little nervous. Mal’s reports were emailed through to us the day after he did our inspection. Nothing major – which was good. There were a few minor defects which we asked the vendor to repair. Mal also gave us a call the day after we had received our reports to make sure we understood everything – great customer service! We will also be highly recommending Mal Wright.

5/5

Being first home buyers was so daunting for us – so many things to consider. Do we build? Do we buy new? Do we need a conveyancer? There were sooo many things. We had done our finance through a broker and were in the process of looking at houses when we found a beautiful property in Fletcher. The broker had told us to get Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspections done and recommended 2 different people. Mal Wright was one of them. We actually phoned Mal first just to see what his prices were and ended up booking him in after speaking with the other person (they didn’t seem to be as knowledgeable). Mal’s office contacted the Real Estate and gained access to the inspection for us which was one less thing I needed to worry about. Once he’d done the inspection he gave us a call – just for my own reassurance really. Our reports were emailed out the next day. I was dreading having to sit down and bore myself to death reading about something I didn’t understand but surprisingly, they were very easy to read! We made sure we passed on our thanks to our Broker for his suggestion and told him to keep referring Mal! Mal was a great help and made buying our first home a little less stressful. Thank you.

5/5

Thank you for your help with my recent property purchase in Thornton. Your reports were very informative and the photos were great in identifying where the issue was. I feel quite privileged that I was able to engage your services after you were recommended by a few people I spoke with who said you were ‘the best’. I will refer your services to anyone I know that needs inspections completed.

5/5

I had phoned Mal Wright to book in a Pest and Building Inspection on the recommendation from a friend who just raved about him. He was booked out for 4 days in advance but I was happy to wait since he was so highly recommended. Mal’s office must have called the Real Estate agent not long after I spoke with them because the agent phoned me. He told me that I needed to have the inspections done straight away as there were other interested buyers and that the reports that had been supplied should have been sufficient. Well, I wasn’t happy with the agent’s attitude so I told him I was happy to wait to use Mal. I had read the other reports but our conveyancer agreed that because they weren’t in our names they weren’t legally ‘our’ documents.

Mal gave me a call as soon as he’d finished the inspection just to quickly go over a couple of things I needed to be aware of. He emailed the full reports out the following day. They were fabulous. They covered every aspect of the property. He even picked up on little things like the garden tap out the front having no support. Much more detailed than the other reports I had seen.

We did go ahead and purchase the property although the real estate agent wasn’t happy we went back and negotiated the price with the report in hand.

I too would highly recommend Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. If you want someone who is thorough and does the right thing by the purchaser (not the agent or vendor) then he’s your man.

5/5

I must say, Mal Wright helped me a lot recently with my first home purchase. My conveyancer recommended him & another person but said Mal was better – if he was available! That made me think he must be good if he’s usually booked out! When I phoned, he had 1 spot left for the week so I jumped on it. The staff took all my details, and that was that! Once I’d received the reports and had a read through them, I gave Mal a call just to go over a couple of things I was unsure about. He was patient and even called me a week later to see how I went. If you’re a first home buyer and need someone professional, courteous and knowledgeable – Mal’s your go-to!

5/5

Mal was a great help during a recent property purchase. He had come and inspected our house which was on the market for a potential buyer and we had a chat whilst he was there, and he left me his business card. My wife & I had been looking for a new property but we hadn’t settled on one straight away. We eventually found a house and I still had Mal’s card on me so gave him a call to book Pest and Building Inspections. I was impressed with how knowledgeable he was. His office staff were efficient and had our inspection booked in for that week. The reports were emailed the following day and they were great. Colour photos and descriptions of what and where the problem was. Much more detailed than reports I’ve seen in the past. I’m glad I gave him a call (and his price was pretty great too!)

5/5

I work in the industry and was purchasing a substantial sized property. I wanted to make an informed decision so decided to have 2 inspections done by separate companies. Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections was one of them, and I used another company that offered a cheaper price.

Mal’s reports were by far the better choice. They were very detailed and he had picked up on numerous items that needed rectifications where the other inspector had not noted them at all. In comparison, Mal’s Building report was around 56 pages and the other inspector’s was only about 30 pages.

Mal had given me time on the phone to discuss different items with him as well, whereas when I called the other inspector, he was vague with details.

I know who I will be using in the future and who I will be recommending to my clients.

 

 

 

5/5

I was interested in a property out at Maitland. The Real Estate agent disclosed that it had previous termite damage but ‘nothing to worry about’ as it had all been fixed. Well, I was a little worried and wanted to know how much there actually was. Mal Wright was recommended to me by a builder friend as ‘the best’ so I phoned and booked in a Pest and Building Inspection with him. Mal was able to complete the inspection the same week and once he’d finished he gave me a quick call to discuss a couple of things.

First of all, the termite damage that had been ‘fixed’ was a lot more extensive than I was made to believe. And secondly, even after having termites, the owners hadn’t kept up with the termite treatments. Wow. I couldn’t believe it. Mal had certainly picked up a few things that needed serious consideration. I’m glad I had given him a call and decided to not listen to the Agent. Mal has literally saved me thousands of dollars and I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again or recommend him to fellow home buyers.

5/5

We went with our gut and booked a Pest and Building Inspection with Mal Wright – going against what the Real Estate agent recommended. They had provided reports, but we just didn’t feel comfortable relying on them. Thank god we didn’t use them. Mal picked up so many defects that were non-existent in the agent supplied reports. Some were just minor things but there were a couple of things that should have definitely been picked up! Mal’s reports were also very detailed. The building report was around 35 pages long compared to 15 pages in the agent supplied one. They were like chalk and cheese. We didn’t end up buying the house and are still looking. We have Mal’s number saved in my phone and will be calling him the minute we find another property.

5/5

We recently had a Pest and Building Inspection completed with Mal in Maitland. He was very informative over the phone when I had a few questions and when we received our reports we were very pleased we had used Mal to do these inspections. He had picked up several defects that we didn’t realise were there as well as termite damage (no live ones fortunately). It has really made us take a step back and think about what our next move will be. We would highly recommend using Mal to complete your inspections as he could save you thousands.

5/5

We contacted Mal Wright to get our house inspected recently. We weren’t selling, but had decided it was about time we got repairs ‘up to date’ while we had so much time on our hands (thanks COVID-19). Mal came out and did the inspection. He was right on time and spent around 1.5hrs taking notes and photos of different things. It was hard to not follow him around everywhere and ask questions! He emailed the report out to us the following day. It was great to have everything itemised and we could then prioritise what needed to be fixed and tick it all off as we went! So I now have a list of things for my husband to fix (he’s so happy lol). He won’t be bored anytime soon.

5/5

Thank you for your help recently with my Pest and Building Inspection reports. Your time on the phone and information you gave me was invaluable. It’s wonderful to know that there are businesses still willing to help their customers after the transaction has been completed. If I ever needed another inspection done I would definitely be giving Mal Wright a call. He came highly recommended to me, so I will be paying it forward as well.

5/5

I met Mal a couple of years ago when he did a Pest and Building Inspection on a house I was renting and the owners were selling. He spent quite a bit of time going through the house, taking photos, writing stuff down and at the time I thought ‘wow, what a waste of my time’ (having to be at home to let him in). That was until I was looking at buying. Mal had left me a business card that day and I’d shoved it in a kitchen drawer and forgotten about it. I rummaged around for maybe 10 minutes and found it! I gave him a call to see if he was still doing inspections and he was! Being a first home buyer, I was a bit nervous with the whole process but Mal explained what happened and so I booked it in. The reports were surprisingly easy to read and they’d emailed them to my Conveyancer as well. I called an spoke to Mal and covered a couple of things that I didn’t understand and he totally put my mind at ease. He was so helpful and genuine. I’d definitely use his business again – and so should everyone else!

5/5

I phoned Mal Wright after googling his business and seeing the reviews he had gotten. I asked him a couple of questions in regards to the property and he was very professional so I booked in a Pest and Building Inspection for a home in Corlette. His office made the arrangements with the Real Estate to complete the inspection that week. I had a couple of specific items I wanted him to double-check while he was at the house so I sent him an email with them listed. The reports came via email the day after the inspection. My requested items were covered, along with other things I had not noticed. The reports were fabulous – very in-depth and informative. He’s certainly worth more money! I am currently in negotiations but certain of a positive outcome thanks to Mal’s reports. Thanks for your help and we will pass on your details to anyone we know who needs inspections.

5/5

I took advantage of Mal’s lower prices during the COVID-19 pandemic and I was not disappointed. I had pre-purchase Pest and Building Inspections done at a property in Aberglasslyn. I had wanted to meet Mal at the property but due to the restrictions in place I wasn’t allowed to so Mal offered to call me once the inspection was completed and go over anything he thought was of concern. The reports were of a very high standard and covered everything about the house. We opted to not have printed copies sent out via the post as well just in case anything spread via the mail. Mal was very professional and he is definitely worth more money! I can highly recommend him and would use him again in a heartbeat.

5/5

I was having a lot of trouble finding someone to complete a Pest and Building Inspection for me due to the Coronavirus pandemic. A lot of businesses weren’t operating. I was told to call Mal Wright, who was still performing inspections in line with current restrictions. I was able to book my inspection in during that week and he still had the reports out to me the next day. Thank you Mal for all your help. Stay safe!

5/5

Mal Wright does annual Pest inspection reports for me each year on my investment properties I have in Newcastle. His reports are always emailed out to me the day after the inspection and he has always given my tenants ample notice. I will continue to use Mal as he is one of the best inspectors around.

5/5

We recently had Mal complete a Pest and Building Inspection for us on a property at the Central Coast. We hadn’t realised he traveled to the area but we were pleasantly surprised to find out he did when we gave him a call for a recommendation. We had used Mal for the last property inspections we had done in Newcastle. As usual, Mal’s reports were fabulous and we were thankful he completed them as we know how much time and effort he puts into them. We will continue to recommend Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections.

5/5

Mal completed an inspection at our property in Kotara earlier this week as we are planning on selling (soon, hopefully) and we wanted to see what we needed to repair before putting our house on the market. The whole booking online process was very easy and Mal’s office phoned to confirm the day and time of the inspection. Mal showed up on time and he was very polite. He started the outside of the property first and then before coming inside he made sure he used hand sanitiser. Due to the amount of people concerned about the Covid19 virus pandemic at the moment I thought this was very reassuring since he was coming into our home. He also took off his shoes lol.

Our reports were emailed out the following day and pretty much as we expected. It was great to have them handy (and the printed copy we received) so we could then prioritise what needed to be done and tick it off our list as we went! We will be hanging onto Mal’s number as when we have sold our property we will be calling him to do inspections if/when we buy again.

5/5

I was lucky enough to get my Pest and Building Inspection done on the same day I booked online due to someone else canceling their inspection. I was very surprised at how quickly they responded to my request. So I had my reports emailed within 24 hours, really. Fabulous turn around! The reports were also quite detailed so they weren’t pumped out generically. I can highly recommend Mal’s business and will be gladly letting friends and family know.

I have had used Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections previously for a Pre-Purchase inspection but needed to get a Handover inspection completed on a home I was building in Huntlee. He’d done such a marvellous job last time, I had no hesitation in using his business again. The office staff booked everything in with the builder and all I had to do was email Mal a copy of the plans. I also included a note of a couple of things I wanted him to check while he was there. Mal had the report emailed to me the day after he did the inspection and, as I expected, it was very detailed. He had included the items I’d asked him to check but also picked up a lot of other minor problems. It was great to get the printed copy in the mail as I used it when I met with the builder to go over everything that needed amending.

I’d highly recommend Mal for any of your inspection needs.

5/5

Mal and his staff were great to deal with when I booked a Pest and Building Inspection in Heddon Greta recently. They made all the arrangements and all I needed to do was wait for the reports. I received them the day after the inspection and found them easy to go through and understand. I did have a couple of questions, so I phoned Mal who was happy to go over things on the phone. I haven’t used an inspector before so found that all their help and advice made things run smoother and I wasn’t as stressed. I’d highly recommend Mal Wright for any inspections that you need completed.

5/5

I have previously used Mal’s services for a Handover inspection but recently called him to complete a Pest and Building inspection on an investment property I was buying in Jesmond. His work ethic, knowledge and experience have been very helpful in this case as we needed to inspect the property with access from 4 different occupants. Our Conveyancer was also impressed that we were able to complete the inspection on one day. Mal’s reports were thorough and what I expected since using his business before. If you have any inspection needs, Mal is the guy to call.

5/5

Thanks for your help with our recent purchase in Rutherford. Your Pest and Building reports were of a very high standard and we were impressed at how detailed they were. Your reports helped us re-negotiate a price with the vendors and has saved us a few thousand dollars. If we are ever in the market for another property, we will be giving you a call.

5/5

Thanks for your prompt service getting the Pest and Building Reports out to us for the property at Bolwarra Heights. 24hr turn around is quite impressive and the reports we received were very detailed. You can see a lot of effort went into them. Your time on the phone was equally as valuable. Your knowledge and advice has assisted us immensely. We will happily pass on your details to anyone who needs these type of inspections done.

5/5

Truly excellent reports, would recommend you to anyone needing an inspection and will call on your services in the future if we ever need them.

5/5

Mal did Pest and Building Inspections for us at a property in East Maitland. We had made arrangements through the Real Estate to meet Mal at the property and let us know of any problems. He spent around an hour of his time with us explaining a few things and chatting before finishing our inspection. We still received our reports the following day and he even phoned us to check we understood it all. His attention to detail was fantastic and we can’t recommend him highly enough.

5/5

Hi Mal,

Thank you for your assistance last week with our Pest and Building Inspections. Being a first home buyer, your service has made this experience a lot less stressful. The fact that you have taken time out of your day to talk over the phone and offer advice and help has been excellent. We will gladly pass on your details to any other friends/family/colleagues who also need inspections. You have helped us immensely. Thanks again.

5/5

Mal came and did a Handover Inspection for us on a new build in Thornton. We had a few concerns about brickwork and painting which we wanted checked at the time of the inspection. Mal’s office made all the arrangements with the building site supervisor to go there and do the inspection. Our report arrived in a timely fashion but also confirmed that the brickwork was not up to standards, lots of painting needed to be re-done and there were other issues that needed to be addressed. We made an appointment to speak with the builder and took the report with us to back us up. We are currently waiting for things to be rectified by the builder and will be getting Mal back out to re-inspect if it doesn’t look up to scratch. In our opinion, getting the independent inspection done was such a great relief as we were able to go ahead and get the problems rectified before moving into the property.

5/5

I had Pest and Building Inspections done by Mal Wright at a house in Kurri Kurri. He had come highly recommended by a friend of ours who had used his services when buying in Gillieston Heights. Mal was great on the phone when I called and he answered a few of the questions I had. Once I had booked in the inspection, I sent an email outlining a couple of things I was concerned about so he could double-check them whilst he was there. I got the reports the day after my inspection and Mal had commented on the things I had emailed about as well as picked up on a number of other things. I liked how he had included photos of areas where problems were found as well. It made understanding it a lot easier. Mal followed up with a phone call the day after I had received my reports too – great customer service in my opinion. I’d definitely use his business again and have already passed on his number to a colleague.

5/5

I was looking at a property in Aberglasslyn and the Real Estate agent recommended a Pest and Building inspector. Upon googling the inspector’s name and seeing the bad reviews I quickly established that I wasn’t going to use them. I came across Mal Wright’s reviews which were far more positive so I checked out his website. I ended up doing an online booking right then and there. Mal’s office received the booking and phoned the Real Estate to book it all in. Once the agent found out I wasn’t using ‘his’ inspector, he didn’t seem very happy. The inspection went ahead and I has the reports emailed to me the next day. Mal had found a few minor defects, which were itemised in the report with photos, but he also found some previous termite damage which had not been disclosed by the agent. Needless to say, we weren’t impressed and let our feelings known to the agent as well. We are still looking for another property and we will definitely be using Mal Wright again.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections completed my pre-purchase inspections at a property in Maitland that we were buying as an investment. I have used inspectors before but Mal was very client-focused. He emphasised that he works for his clients, not anyone else, which made me feel comfortable asking difficult questions that I wouldn’t get a straight answer from a Real Estate Agent. The reports I received were informative yet easy to read. The addition of photographs made identifying defects simple. If I am to buy another property, I will be using Mal again. I have his details saved in my phone already.

5/5

I had previously used Mal Wright to do a Pest and Building Inspection on my home in Metford when I bought it, but I was now moving and looking at other properties in Port Stephens. I had found a lovely little place in Corlette and phoned Mal to book inspections in once again. Like last time, he was very professional, the reports came out via email and in the post and they were really easy to read (which made my day). My conveyancer also mentioned how great they were. There were only minor issues with the property I was looking at so I went ahead and bought it! Ever so grateful for Mal’s assistance and expertise once again.

5/5

I made so many calls whilst ‘shopping around’ for a good Pest and Building Inspector. Some of them didn’t have the time or just didn’t care. When I phoned Mal Wright, he took the time to speak with me even though he was on a job. He answered my questions and when I asked to book in the inspection, he said he would get someone to call me back to get my details. Well, his office phoned almost straight away! I was surprised. They took all the information they needed and booked everything in so I didn’t have to chase the Real Estate and arrange a suitable time. The day after the inspection, I received the reports via email. Very informative, had photographs and suggested solutions for some of the defects. I was pretty happy. There were a couple of things I didn’t understand but phoned Mal and he again took the time to explain things. He offers such a great service and I would happily recommend him to anyone.

5/5

I had been looking at houses for a while before I found one in Bolwarra Heights I wanted to move forward with. My Conveyancer had given me a couple of recommendations so I did a bit of research on both before booking one in. Mal had great testimonials on both his website and through Google so I opted to book an inspection online. His secretary followed up with me the next morning and confirmed the inspection. They had arranged to get into the property through the Real Estate and meet the agent there on the day. My reports were very good. Emailed to me the day after the inspection, they had colour photos and were very detailed and described any issues and suggested how to remedy the problem.

I would recommend Mal and his business, he was very thorough and when speaking with him on the phone, he was a wealth of information. I’d definitely book with him again if the need arises.

5/5

Mal Wright has completed 4 inspections for me. His reporting style has been excellent and has saved me from buying a couple of dud houses.

Buying a house has been a stressful time especially since I found myself ‘competing’ with other people for the same property at one stage. Having Mal do the Pest and Building Inspections has saved my sanity a little bit and saved me thousands in money I would have had to spend on repairs.

I had my last reports emailed earlier in the week and I’m onto a winner with this one. The reports confirmed everything was OK and I have had my offer accepted.

I would highly recommend having Pest and Building Inspections done before buying anything and can highly recommend Mal’s business.

5/5

I needed an inspection done before Christmas and wasn’t having much luck finding an inspector who wasn’t booked up. I had phoned Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections and spoken with Mal, but he also said he was booked out but referred me to a couple of other inspectors. After phoning both of them and finding out they were also busy, I called Mal again to see if he had any other suggestions. He offered to do my inspection early on a Sunday (his only day off). I was relieved to say the least. His office staff took over and booked everything in, Mal completed the inspection and got it out to me the next day. Amazing. The reports were very detailed. He had come highly recommended from a colleague and I’m glad he could fit my inspection in.

5/5

I initially phoned Mal for some advice on who I should get for a Pest Treatment as he’d previously done Pest Inspections for us at our rental property in Medowie and got chatting about one of my other properties that I was maybe going to sell. He mentioned that he did Vendor Reports which were basically a Pest and Building Inspection for people wanting to sell so they could either have the report there ready for potential purchasers or use it as a guide to what needed fixing before selling. I thought about this for a couple of weeks and decided to book an inspection in, just to see what I needed to have done ready to sell. As I expected, Mal’s reports were thorough and when I spoke to him on the phone he had some great advice and insight on what I should prioritise. We will wait until our current tenants move out and then take the time to fix the issues and put it on the market. Mal was a great help and I would recommend his business to anyone.

5/5

It was coming up to Christmas quickly and we needed (wanted) to have everything signed off on a house we were buying before everyone went on holidays. We had heard Mal Wright was a very good & thorough Pest and Building inspector through a couple of friends so we gave him a call. Of course, everyone else wanted their inspections done before the Christmas break too so he was very busy but he squeezed ours in on a weekend just before his office closed for holidays. We had the reports emailed to us on the Monday morning and saw our Conveyancer that afternoon. Luckily there were no major issues with the property and we could proceed as planned. We can highly recommend Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections as we personally know he works hard for his clients and goes above and beyond. Thanks Mal.

5/5

Mal was a great wealth of information when we recently had a Handover Inspection completed with him. Our new build was ‘ready’ to move into according to the builder but we found there were a few things we weren’t happy about. So we contacted Mal after he was recommended by one of our new neighbours who had used him. We received our report from Mal and there were more than a few things that needed to be remedied. We were grateful we had Mal’s help as we are now getting things fixed by the builder properly. We would highly recommend his business to anyone building a new home.

5/5

Mal completed Pest and Building Inspections for me some years ago now when I was buying in Nelson Bay and now my son is about to buy his own place in Port Stephens so Mal is doing his inspections too. So wonderful to find a familiar business that is still operating all these years later and offering the same great service with even more experience. We look forward to seeing the reports and talking to you about them.

5/5

We were supplied with Pest and Building Reports for a property by the Agent that was selling it in Maitland. We read through it and it all seemed ok, but I just didn’t like the fact that the Real Estate had used someone they recommended. Were they reputable? Or did they just write up a report so the house would sell? I asked a couple of friends who they used and they said Mal Wright was the best, so I gave him a call to see what he thought.

Upon finding out that the reports would not be legally binding if anything was wrong because they weren’t in our names, I booked Mal in to do inspections and produce new reports.

The reports were like chalk and cheese. Mal had picked up on a lot more problems with the house than the original reports. It was still a great house, though. It just needed a bit more work to bring it up to where we would like it.

We spoke with the Real Estate and they said the vendors were open to offers, which was great.

So in the end, we are more than happy with our inspector, Mal, and the reports he provided us. We will be passing on his details on to everyone.

 

5/5

Thank you for the inspection and reports on the property at Morpeth. We have thoroughly read the reports and armed ourselves with a bit more information and are meeting with the Real Estate Agent this afternoon to negotiate a better price. Your help and wealth of information has helped us to no end. We really love the property and can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds.

5/5

Mal Wright’s reports gave us a great insight into how much work we needed to do before we sold my mother’s home in Tenambit. Some things were more urgent than others so we used the reports as a guideline, ticking things off as we went. When we were ready to sell, he came back and ‘updated’ the reports ready for the purchasers to read. Mal was very helpful and the house sold within a week of being on the market. Thanks for everything.

5/5

It was great to know we had Mal Wright completing our Pest and Building Inspections. We had heard from so many people that he was THE inspector to get. We couldn’t be happier. His reports were, as promised, very thorough, easy to read and we used them to negotiate a better price on the property we were looking at in Branxton. We have already told family and friends to pass on his details!

5/5

I asked to meet Mal at the house when he was doing my Pest and Building Inspections and he was more than accommodating. I had a few things I wanted his opinion on and would rather be there to point them out. He was polite and very helpful with ideas and information that I needed to find out from Council. Overall, my experience with his business was very positive and I have already shared his details with people who have asked for recommendations on Facebook.

5/5

There was a great little house I wanted to buy in Maitland. My Conveyancer suggested I get Mal Wright to do the pre-purchase inspections as he was very thorough. I checked out his website and booked it online as it was late at night by the time I’d gotten around to looking at it after work. The next day his office phoned me to confirm and let me know their next availability. It was few days away, but if he wasn’t busy I’d probably be wondering why. They went ahead and arranged to go to the house with the Real Estate agent. My reports were very good – outlining all the defects as well as giving suggestions on what needed to be done to fix the problem. He was indeed very thorough as my Conveyancer said. I was very happy with everything and wouldn’t hesitate to pass on Mal’s details.

5/5

I was in the midst of buying a new house in Maryland and needed a Pest and Building Inspection completed. I phoned around a few inspectors but they didn’t answer, were going to call me back and one was too busy. Mal Wright took my call while he was doing an inspection and said he would get his secretary to call me back. I hung up thinking I wouldn’t hear back but she phoned me back literally a minute later! She took all the details and was going to arrange the inspection with the Real Estate. All booked in and paid, all I had to do was wait for my reports to be emailed. Once I had them and read through them I was glad I’d gotten onto Mal as he had picked up on quite a few things that needed attention. I’m glad I had him doing my inspections and would recommend his business to anyone.

5/5

My Pest and Building Inspection reports were completed by Mal Wright and I received them, as promised, the day after my inspection. I was so thankful for this as my cooling off period had almost ended and I needed to have them done asap. The reports were very informative and Mal also spent some time on the phone to me explaining a couple of things. I can highly recommend his business, as the service he offers is outstanding.

5/5

We had Mal complete inspections at our home when we were selling, and again when we purchased a new property.

Both times he was courteous, professional and went above and beyond – fitting our inspection in on a weekend due to a busy schedule on our behalf.

The reports were great and had colour photos included to help identify problem areas.

Our vendor report was a massive hit with potential buyers and they all commented that it was an excellent idea. We believe our property sold a lot faster due to the fact that we had done the inspections already and Mal was a reputable inspector.

We would highly recommend using Mal for any of your inspection needs, and we will certainly use him again if the need arises.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections conducted a Handover Inspection on our new home in Tenambit.

We had ‘ummed and ahhed’ about getting an independent inspection done. The builder said it wasn’t necessary (of course) and others we had asked just didn’t know. We were speaking with our broker about it and he said to definitely get one done and gave us a few names. Mal’s name also came up in our google search as well as in a Facebook question we posted online.

We booked online, giving the supervisor details and Mal’s staff followed up and made sure they could get in to look through the house. We didn’t attend the property at the same time, so just waited to receive our report via email the following day.

The report was fairly straight forward. Minor defects, major defects, safety issues, inside and outside. From what our builder told us, there wasn’t a lot to be fixed. But the report said otherwise. There were quite a few issues so we immediately gave the building company a call and arranged a meeting at the house.

Mal’s report actually saved us money because if we didn’t have these done, we would have had problems down the track and then would have been chasing the company to fix them after we had moved in. If you’re building a new home, we’d highly recommend you get Handover inspection done. And give Mal Wright a call.

5/5

We used Mal Wright 18 years ago for a Building Inspection at Salamander Bay and all these years later, here we are using him again for our new home at Corlette. Someone that has been in business all this time has only gained knowledge so we had no hesitation in using Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections and found that the reports were extremely thorough and we will continue to use him in the future.

5/5

Mal Wright was recommended to us by our Real Estate agent but we had heard from different people not to use the inspector referred by your agent. We’d also heard that Mal was very good. We decided to ‘ring around’ a few inspectors and see how their phone manner was. A couple of them weren’t very informative when we asked different questions and another one said he’d call us back but didn’t. Mal was very comfortable answering our questions and said he would get his secretary to call us to get all the details. She called within 5 minutes of us hanging up from Mal! Outstanding! She took all our details, followed up with the Real Estate and we didn’t have to lift a finger. Our reports were emailed the following day after the inspection and we found them to be very informative. Mal called us to make sure we understood everything and strongly recommended we get a Pest treatment done on the property asap (something the real estate said we didn’t need to worry about). We are glad we used Mal’s services and would use him again if we needed to.

5/5

Thanks to Mal from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections for the prompt inspection and reports provided on a property in Metford. We were in a ‘race to the finish line’ to get inspections done and an offer accepted before another potential buyer came in. Mal offered to complete the inspections on a weekend so we would have them first thing Monday morning. He also gave us a call after he had completed the inspection to keep us updated. We are very thankful that he went above and beyond and would recommend him to everyone.

5/5

Thank you for completing Pest and Building Inspections on a property at Rutherford for us. We hadn’t expected there would be a lot for you to report on as it was just under 10yrs old, but your reports were still very informative and gave us a general scope of what will need to be done prior to us moving in. We would highly recommend your services after having such a positive experience.

5/5

Mal completed inspections for me several years ago when I bought a unit in New Lambton. I recently found the copy of the reports when I was looking at some things I had in storage. I was getting my unit ready to sell, but needed to have inspections done at a new place I was looking at moving to in Cameron Park. I googled Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections, found the website and made an online booking. Mal’s staff took care of contacting the Real Estate and I was very pleased when I found out my inspection would be completed and I would have the reports before the week was out. The reports were again very informative and the colour photos helped identify areas of concern. If I ever need another inspection completed, I’ll be using Mal Wright again.

5/5

The Meth Testing was great! Positive result was surprising. We recently had a Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspection done in Metford and filled in the online booking form at the Mal Wright website to include Rapid Meth Testing so we could get an immediate idea of if the house was contaminated with Methamphetamines from previous tenants. The results, to our surprise, came back positive as the house looked relatively well maintained but we decided not to go ahead with the purchase. We will be using Mal Wright when we find another property.

5/5

We had heard of Mal Wright through many different people when we asked around for a property we were looking at purchasing in Newcastle including our Conveyancer, work colleagues and neighbours. When we told the Agent we were using Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections, they quivered and said ‘he’s too thorough’ and asked if we would use someone else, which made us want to use him even more. Upon receiving his reports he excelled and the information allowed us to re-negotiate on the property which saved us thousands of dollars. Why use anyone else when you can use No. 1 – Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections.

5/5

We contacted Mal Wright Pest & Building Inspections in regards to doing an inspection on our new house at Thornton. Once we made contact with them, it was effortless from start to finish. I give him 20/5 stars for his service, reporting and presentation of reports. Mal Wright Pest & Building Inspections goes well and above any other inspector and for such a large purchase, the information in the reports was worth every cent.

5/5

We purchased a house through Charlie Lund 4 years ago at Rutherford and have now purchased another house at Aberglasslyn through a different local Real Estate Agent. We continued to use Mal Wright Pet and Building Inspections as we found him brilliant and will continue to use him. The reports were very thorough and easy to understand and Mal was always easy to contact to discuss the defects found. I highly recommend his company.

5/5

The first property we ever bought, the inspector was hopeless. Didn’t pick up a lot of problems with the house and we had to get a second ‘proper’ inspection done. This time around when buying, we took our time and did research on inspectors before booking anyone. Mal’s name came up in a few different conversations we had with people as well as recommendations from strangers on Facebook. We liked his website and booked our inspections online. We read through the reports the day after the inspection and we were so impressed. They covered absolutely everything from the front door to the shed in the back yard. If anyone asks us in the future, we will gladly give out Mal’s details.

5/5

Mal completed a Building Inspection for me on a unit I was keen on purchasing in Nelson Bay. He has quite a good reputation in the Bay as a great inspector. I had spoken to friends and family who all said he was very thorough. The report was emailed through to me very promptly and also sent to my Conveyancer. I understood all the wording in the report but Mal also gave me a call to see if I had any questions. I’d highly recommend his business.

5/5

Being a first-home buyer is such a nerve-wracking experience but knowing that the home you’re buying is structurally sound is so important. I didn’t hesitate to book Pest and Building Inspections in when my Conveyancer suggested it. I had heard about Mal Wright being a very good inspector through a few different people and had done my research early on when I knew I was planning on buying a house. Mal’s staff took my details and booked everything in which also helped with my stress levels! It was also very helpful to be able to speak with Mal over the phone about things once I’d read the reports. I’d happily recommend Mal to anyone buying property.

5/5

Thanks for your assistance with my recent Pest and Building Inspection, Mal. Your reports were received in a timely manner and easy for me to read and understand. I can now move ahead with my purchase knowing what needs to be rectified. I will pass your details on to anyone who is in need of a great inspector.

5/5

I was very happy with the quality of the Pest and Building reports provided by Mal Wright. I have used other inspectors before but Mal’s reports were by far the best I have seen. Comprehensive but easy to understand and they covered everything I needed to know about the property. If I need any more inspections, I will definitely be giving Mal Wright a call.

5/5

Mal Wright was extremely thorough and took a lot of care to check every square inch of the property I was buying in Maryland. He was very helpful and friendly and was happy to explain what he was looking for and pointing out issues that he found. The final reports were very well presented, broken down into sections and detailed with recommendations of how to best address everything that was found. I have and would continue to recommend him to friends and family who have also been equally happy with his work.

5/5

We were building a new house in Metford and after months & months of waiting we finally got to the stage where we could walk through with the builder and go over things that needed fixing. We were really happy that there wasn’t much that needed amending but then spoke with some friends who had also built recently and they told us to have an independent Handover inspection done. They’d had so many issues after they moved in and said they wished they’d had one done. Mal’s name came up in the conversation so we gave him a call to see what was involved. It was pretty straight forward and his staff booked it all in for us as well as getting access from the site supervisor. We also attended on the same day but went through with the builder. The reports were emailed to us the following day and wow. The amount of problems he picked up that the builder had not included was a lot greater than I had expected. We had a meeting with the builder and the supervisor the following week and gave them copies of the defects and we are now in the process of ticking them off to be fixed before we move in. Thanks to Mal we are moving into a house that will be in much better condition. Well worth it.

5/5

Mal’s reports saved us from buying a ‘lemon’ of a house. We had booked inspections through the website as we were interested in a property at Jesmond. We were buying it as an investment property so wanted to make sure everything was fairly sound and didn’t require hundred of $$ spent on it. Mal phoned us as soon as he had finished the inspection to inform us the house had termites and was out of level in a few areas. We received the reports later the next day as he had to spend a lot more time on them. We are so grateful we had the inspections done and saved ourselves a lot of money and time. Needless to say, we are looking for another property to invest in and will be calling Mal to get our next lot of inspections done.

5/5

Thanks Mal for doing our Pest and Building Inspections in Rutherford. Your recommendation for a termite treatment was noted and done as soon as possible as a few other small defects were fixed by the vendors without us even having to ask. The reports were a great asset and we are going to keep the printed copies to look over in years to come.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections provided us with reports prior to selling our property in Maitland outlining areas that needed attention so we could either have them fixed or let potential buyers see the reports and they then knew upfront what condition our home was in prior to making an offer. We didn’t have many huge problems, so we went forward with an open house ‘as-is’. We had a few people comment how great it was that we had done the reports and some even said that they’d heard great things about Mal so we looked at that as a positive selling point. After 2 open homes (with some repeat lookers) we had 2 offers. We are so glad we’d had the inspections done and produced before the open homes. We really think it boosted our chances of an offer. We would highly recommend Mal if you are buying or selling!

5/5

Mal Wright completed a Building Inspection for me when I was buying a Unit in Kurri Kurri. His report was very good and it included things that needed repairs on the inside as well as the outside (which, for me, would have been an issue for strata). The reports really helped me with making a decision. I can highly recommend his work.

5/5

I had called a few Building Inspectors before I phoned Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. I was trying to get inspections completed before the end of the week (it was a Monday) and was having trouble getting anyone who could complete them in time. Mal had one appointment left on the Friday and could give me a call after he had finished. I grabbed it. His office then called me on Wednesday to say they’d had someone postpone their inspections and they could bring mine forward and complete it that day. Even better! Mal still phoned me afterwards but I had the reports emailed the next day and my Conveyancer also had a copy to look over. I was pleased they had thought of me and offered to do my inspection earlier than planned. What a great system they have in place. From now on, I will be passing on Mal’s details to anyone needing inspections.

5/5

Mal Wright did inspections for us in Medowie and I was very happy with the supplied reports as well as the booking process leading up to them. I have used Mal once before and was impressed with the process as well as getting a follow up phone call from him. His advice was appreciated and I would recommend his company to anyone needing pre-purchase inspections completed.

5/5

Thank you for completing our Pest and Building inspections. Your reports were very informative and allowed us to step back and take another look at the property without our rose coloured glasses on so to speak. Very happy with your services.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building completed inspections for us at Telarah. Mal was very helpful and spent a bit of time on the phone explaining different aspects of the reports after we had read them to make sure we understood it. It was refreshing to find a business who went above and beyond. We can highly recommend his services.

5/5

Great inspector! Knowledgeable, polite, efficient, reports arrived in a timely manner and very well presented. I will highly recommend your business to anyone looking at real estate. Thank you.

5/5

I was referred to Mal Wright from another Pest and Building Inspector who couldn’t perform the inspections in time for my cooling off period. Mal was also booked but he squeezed in my inspection on a weekend so I’d have the reports ready for Monday morning for my Conveyancer.

It was a nervous wait over the weekend to get the reports and make sure everything was ok. Mal had emailed the reports directly to my Conveyancer so I didn’t need to which was fabulous as it gave me more time to sit down and read through them before my appointment and get together any questions I had for her. I also gave Mal a quick call after I had read them just to confirm a couple of things. He was more than obliging to talk over the phone and give me some direction which helped a lot.

Thanks Mal and staff for your help and getting our inspection done on a weekend. It is very much appreciated and I will pass your details on to anyone I know needing inspections.

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections was recommended to me by a colleague who had used him for inspections on a property purchase. I was looking at a unit in Charlestown and Mal came out and completed a Building Inspection. It was great to have colour photos in the report as well as a list of the defects that needed attention. It was very informative and I will pass on his details to anyone wanting inspections done!

5/5

We had a great experience using Mal Wright Pest and Building inspections for our Handover reports on our new build in Gillieston Heights. He dealt with the access through the site supervisor, which was great and walked through and did the inspection a few days after we booked it in. The report was very good and we took it with us to our next meeting with the builder to ensure we were getting everything installed/repaired before we took the keys. We are glad we had the report done by an independent inspector as he found more defects than the builders let us know about. We would highly recommend getting Mal out for your Handover inspection!

5/5

I have had Mal complete a few inspections for me over the past 5 years and each time he is a true professional. He has often taken the time to call me after an inspection to let me know how it went and spent a lot of time getting reports ready for me. I wouldn’t use any other inspector as I know how hard he works for his customers.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections were recommended to me by a family member after they’d had Mal do a Handover inspection for them.

I needed Pest and Building inspections on a house in Merewether so contacted Mal’s office and they booked it all in for me. They also followed up with the Real Estate agent as part of their service.

The reports were emailed the day after my inspection and had photos, descriptions and offered suggested repairs for different defects. They were as thorough as I was told they would be. We even used the reports to negotiate and have a few things repaired by the vendors before we moved.

Mal will be on my list of trades to recommend to people from now on.

5/5

After having a few people tell me that Mal Wright was the only person they’d get to do inspections, I decided to google his business before I booked. The web site was quite informative and I ended up booking my inspection online. It was organised and confirmed for a few days later by Mal’s staff so I didn’t really have to lift a finger. The reports were emailed to myself and my Conveyancer, so I didn’t have to follow up with them either. Very easy. I’d definitely use Mal again (like everyone else said!).

5/5

Hi Mal,

Thank you for your in-depth reports on the property at Hamilton. It was great that your staff handled all the enquiries with the Real Estate – buying a house is stressful enough without adding extra things on top. We would gladly give your details out to anyone buying property.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections came and did a defects report for us on a house we own in Mayfield.  We knew the house was needing repairs but we wanted to know exactly where to start. The report was very in-depth and it really helped us outline what areas of the house needed fixing as a priority. Thank you Mal, for your professionalism, expertise and time on the phone!

5/5

Mal Wright recently completed Pest and Building Inspections for us at a property in Ashtonfield. We were more than happy with his services and the reports were delivered promptly. Our Conveyancer also mentioned that she was impressed with the amount of detail included. We will be using his services again if they are needed.

5/5

I sold my house in Nelson Bay and was looking at another property in Soldiers Point. Mal Wright was highly recommended to me to by a friend & so I googled his business to check him out. I was pretty happy with everything I read on his website and booking online was the easiest option for me. An email confirmed my booking and from there they handled everything. The reports came the day after the inspection and also went to my Solicitor. They had colour photos and descriptions so it was easy to understand. I also liked that there were suggestions on who to contact to fix the issues. I will be passing on Mal’s details in the future to anyone purchasing property.

5/5

Mal did Pest and Building Inspections on my house last year for a buyer when I was selling and I was impressed (and a little worried) about how much time he spent doing them. I spoke with him just before he finished up and he gave me his business card. I hung onto it as I was going to look for a new place once I’d taken some time off to travel a bit.

Well, I recently returned to the area to visit friends and saw a property for sale that I just adored! I wasn’t done travelling but knew I had to take a risk and jump in. I called Mal and his staff arranged everything for me and the inspection was booked in for the same week. I was going overseas, but he was sending all the reports to my Conveyancer anyway and I knew he would cover everything.

It all went as planned, only a few defects and I could get a handyman on the job once I moved in. The vendors even agreed to a long settlement so I could finish my holiday.

I can highly recommend Mal to get the job done thoroughly and professionally.

5/5

Thanks for doing the Pest and Building Inspection for us on a house in Mayfield. We knew that being an older house there would be problems but you certainly gave us a lot to think about before committing to the purchase. There were a few more issues than we were lead to believe, and obviously we’re not builders so had no idea. Your reports were very informative and we able to go and get estimates for repairs without them being at the property and disrupting the current owners. You’re worth your weight in gold and we will let you know what we decide to do! Thanks Mal.

5/5

We had Mal Wright complete a Handover inspection for us at our new home in Gillieston Heights. We’re glad we spent the extra money to get an independent person come and do this. The list of problems with the house was phenomenal. Our builder had said there were only a ‘few small issues’ however we noticed more than he mentioned and decided to get this inspection done. So we now have a full report with photos on everything and have approached the builder to get it all fixed before we move in.

5/5

Mal’s Pest and Building Inspection reports are some of the most comprehensive yet easy to read reports I have come across as a Conveyancer. Our clients have certainly benefitted from his inspections and we will continue to recommend him.

5/5

After getting Mal to do a Pest and Building Inspection for us at a house in Bolwarra, we wouldn’t use anyone else. He took the time out of his busy week to squeeze in our inspection urgently on a weekend AND after he’d finished he gave us a call to go over a few things he’d found. This was ABOVE AND BEYOND what we expected and we are so, so grateful. We can definitely highly recommend Mal’s business!

5/5

Whilst researching for a Pest and Building Inspector, I read all sorts of horror stories about them finding termites, concealed water damage and leaking roofs. It made me wonder why people don’t get their properties inspected? I get that there’s a cost involved but getting it done for my own peace of mind far outweighs that. I’d rather know now what I’m up for than in 6 months time find that termites have destroyed my home.

Mal has done 2 Pest and Building inspections for me and both of them found concealed issues – excessive termite damage in one (it got crossed off my list) and a leaking roof space in another (still in negotiations with this one). I’m thankful for Mal’s expertise and attention to detail in his work as I would never have known about these issues otherwise.

If you’re planning on investing a lot of money in buying a house, the cost of a Pest and Building Inspection is just a drop in the ocean. Mal is the person I would recommend to anyone.

5/5

I was purchasing a house in Bolwarra and Mal’s business was highly recommended to me by a friend who had previously used his services. Mal’s office staff took all the details, booked in the inspection and liaised with the Real Estate so I didn’t need to worry about anything. The reports were emailed to me the morning after the inspection and were easy enough for me to read although Mal still phoned and checked that I understood everything. Luckily there were only minor issues with the property that were easily fixed. I will now be passing Mal’s details on as a satisfied customer.

5/5

Thanks for your patience with us when we booked our Pest and Building Inspection with you but ended up postponing it twice. Your understanding during this period of uncertainty (due to banks lack of communication) made us feel a bit better. The reports you produced for us were great – we had a copy forwarded to our Conveyancer as well and they mentioned how in-depth they were. We will be keeping your details handy in case we come across anyone who needs your services.

5/5

Thank you Mal and staff for your assistance in booking a Pest and Building Inspection for me at a property in Raymond Terrace. Being a first home buyer, everything was so daunting but having you follow everything up instead of me having to do it took a lot of the pressure off. The reports were easy for me to read and I appreciate you taking the time to call me afterwards to see if I had any questions. I will definitely be passing your business details on.

5/5

I have used different inspectors a few times when I’ve bought property in different states so knew a bit about what they inspect. Mal was recommended to me by my Conveyancer (amongst a couple of others) and when I checked out his website I was impressed with how much experience he had and the fact that he was also a licenced builder. I decided to give him a call to book in rather than do it online so I could ask a few questions about how he did things and I was pretty happy with his responses. My reports were great – they arrived via email the day after the inspection and a printed copy in the post a few days after that. They covered a lot of things about the property and I’d have to say they were more extensive than other reports I have had done for me previously. I think that the amount of time he spent on the property shows just how dedicated he is to his clients. I will need inspections done again next year, so I will be saving Mal’s number and using him again.

5/5

Thank you Mal for all of your assistance doing Pest and Building Inspections on not 1, but 2 properties for us! The information provided in your reports has been invaluable for us making a decision prior to purchasing. We will gladly pass on your details to any friends, family or otherwise who need your help!

5/5

Thank you for completing Pest and Building inspections at a house in Medowie for us. I know we had a couple of hiccups along the way and had to postpone for a week, but your staff were lovely and understanding. The completed reports were very informative as well. We are glad our friends recommended you!

5/5

Hi Mal,

Thank you for the reports on my mother’s house in Rutherford. We were unsure what to do when the Real Estate suggested getting Pest and Building inspections done prior to selling, but you took charge and have made this process so much easier for us.

Your reports have outlined what needs repairing immediately as well as suggesting how to go about getting the repairs fixed.

We are so grateful for your help and support during this difficult time for our family.

 

5/5

I live in Kurri Kurri and wanted someone local to do a Handover Inspection on a house in Abermain that was being built. I contacted Mal Wright as it was nearing completion to see how far in advance I would need to book in. He said as soon as I knew my PC date, to give him a call. I called the same day the builder let me know as booked Mal in at the same time. As I was walking through the house with the builder, Mal was walking through doing his inspection. He emailed the report out to me the next day & I was surprised at how many things he had found. Luckily I was able to take my printed copy to the builder the next week and asked for it all to be fixed. Thanks for your help, Mal. You’ve saved me a few headaches by completing this report!

5/5

Mal’s reports were very helpful when we decided to sell our house in Bolwarra. We had Pest and Building Inspections done prior to putting the house on the market so we knew what was wrong and we could fix some of the issues that arose. Having the printed copy was handy as we ticked things off the list as we made repairs. We also had him return when we were ready to sell so potential buyers could then see that we had done recent maintenance and everything was up to scratch. We are now just waiting on exchange and we are planning on traveling but if we ever come back to the area and buy, we will be calling Mal to do inspections for us.

5/5

We were looking at house in New Lambton and were keen on purchasing but knew there was going to be a lot of work to bring it up to what we wanted. Mal was recommended to us by a local builder who we had spoken to in regards to future renovations at the house. Mal was able to book in our inspection as well as take our list of questions about different aspects of the property and give us answers in the reports. What a patient man is all I can say. That list was long. It did take him a little bit longer to get the reports to us, but we knew to expect that. We will happily recommend you to friends, family and anyone who will listen. We are currently now renovating and hoping to move by Christmas. Fingers crossed.

Hi Mal,

Thank you for taking the time out of your weekend to get an urgent Pest and Building Inspection done at a house in Rutherford for us. We really appreciate the effort and getting the reports to us first thing on the Monday morning. We apologise for our ‘rookie’ error and leaving this till the last minute with time ticking away on our cooling off period. Next time we will be well-prepared and call you earlier.

5/5

Hi Mal,

It was amazing to receive your reports and have all the photos there showing us the major defects. My husband and I were very impressed with the detailed information which allowed us to negotiate the price and make a successful purchase within our cooling off period. I have already given your number to several of our friends looking at purchasing and would not use anyone else.

5/5

My husband and I met Mal when he was performing a Pest and Building Inspection on our house for the people purchasing it. We were impressed with his work ethic and how polite he was. He was certainly thorough with his inspection and we knew we needed to get them done at the property we were moving to, so we asked him before he left if we could book inspections through him. He took our number and said his secretary would call us soon. Less than 10 minutes after our conversation, his secretary called to book us in! Great service! She explained that we would have our reports the day after the inspections were done and took all our details. Easy! As promised, our reports were emailed the day after and they were very informative. We feel lucky to have met Mal and used his business. We have spoken to several people since then and they’ve all said how good his reports were.

5/5

Thanks for the comprehensive Pest and Building reports for the house I was buying in Gillieston Heights. It helped me negotiate the price as I knew what repairs and maintenance I was going to be up for. Your advice over the phone was invaluable. Thanks for all your time.

5/5

I recently had a Pest and Building Inspection done on my house before getting it ready to sell. Mal was very accommodating with his availability as I was working and wasn’t able to be there to let him in at certain times. He was punctual, polite and just got on with the job at hand, really. He has an impressive work ethic. My reports were as I expected – a few minor issues that I could get fixed myself, but I wasn’t worried too much. Just having the reports available for purchasers was a great thing for me. I feel like it shows you’re not hiding anything. And Mal has a very good reputation. Money well spent in my opinion. And when I’m ready to buy another property I’ll be contacting Mal to inspect it before making any major decisions.

5/5

Thank you Mal! Your hard work on producing the Pest and Building reports for the 110 year old property we were looking at is so very much appreciated. We know we had to wait a little longer for our reports than usual and considering the amount of time you spent at the property we totally understand. They certainly were a book to read when we received them. Your reports have helped so much us in regards to understanding what we need to look at moving forward in regards to renovations. It’s certainly going to be a big project, but once we are finished it will be glorious. We will keep you updated!

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building completed a Defects report for me on a house I own but was looking at renovating to eventually rent it out. I wanted to make sure there were no ‘invisible’ water leaks, get the subfloor inspected and just have a general over-view of the house. I was very happy with Mal’s reports and he spent a bit of time on the phone to me afterwards giving me advice, for which I am grateful. I can recommend Mal’s inspection services very highly.

5/5

I sold a property about 6 months ago and Mal Wright came to complete the Pest and Building Inspection for the buyers. I was pretty happy with how professional he was. He was polite and went off doing the inspection without any fuss. He was there for over an hour and gave me a business card when he was finished. I hung onto it as I knew I was going to be buying a new house.

We haven’t found a house we love yet. We thought we did and had Mal all booked in for inspections, but we were out-bid unfortunately and had to cancel. We are still looking and will definitely have Mal booked in for our next home.

5/5

Mal completed a Handover inspection for my partner & I at a house we were building in Gillieston Heights. After chatting to him on the phone we were confident we had made the right choice in getting an independent inspection done and by choosing Mal as he understood what I was talking about when referring to different things about the house. Our builder wasn’t overly happy – we had expected that but they have to let us have another inspector if we want. Mal’s reports were very thorough and we were very happy we had him complete the inspection. He discovered a lot more defects than even we had spotted. So with our report in hand, we have approached the builder and they now have to remedy the defects before we move in. Yes, it’s taking longer but we’d rather have tradesmen in there now rather than after we’re moved in and they mess up our new house. If you’re building a new house, I can’t recommend Mal enough.

5/5

Very impressed with Mal’s reports on a Pest and Building Inspection he completed for me on a house in Chisholm. The booking process was easy, his office made all the arrangements and my reports were emailed the day after the inspection. I probably spoke with Mal twice after I had received my reports and he was very accommodating and answered the questions I had professionally. I would highly recommend his business.

5/5

Mal was a great help during a recent Pest and Building Inspection I had him do at a house in East Maitland. The reports were great – very informative but I still had so many questions! Mal was patient and took the time out of his busy day to answer a lot of them for me, which helped me make some important decisions. His background as a builder has certainly helped him as an inspector and I will be recommending his business to anyone who is buying property.

5/5

Being a first home buyer, I literally had no idea what Pest and Building Inspections were or what they discovered.

My Conveyancer recommended Mal Wright, so I googled before I booked anything. It was good to see he had so many positive reviews.

I did a booking online and they followed up with an email to let me know it had been confirmed and what day the inspection was going ahead. That’s all I had to do, really! It was fairly smooth sailing from there. I got my reports (so did my Conveyancer) and there wasn’t anything major wrong with the house (it was fairly new), so it all went ahead! Mal even phoned me the day after I received the reports to make sure I understood it all.

I did get a printed copy of the reports in the mail later in the week, which I want to hang onto in case I ever sell. It will be good to look at in the future and see how much has changed!

Mal gets my First Home Buyer tick of approval.

5/5

Mal was a great help with our recent Pest and Building Inspections. He offered us advice as well as some peace of mind after we realised there was a bit more damage to the property we were buying than we had originally thought. Thanks to Mal and his Thermal Imaging camera – it showed moisture in both bathroom shower area walls. We are still going ahead, but we are now armed with reports which show this and we will re-negotiate with the vendors. It was well worth the time to have these inspections done and we would highly recommend them to anyone buying a house.

5/5

I recently sold a property in Cessnock and Mal Wright was the inspector that came out to complete the purchaser’s Pest and Building Inspections. He arrived at our house on time and introduced himself. I was impressed by how attentive he was to just about everything in and out of our house! I also noticed he took a lot of photos. I asked a few questions about what he found too, but he was loyal to his customers, not giving anything away. He left me a business card which I kept handy as I knew I would be looking for another property sooner or later. When I had decided on a property to purchase, I rang Mal and booked him in to do my inspections. Now I know why he’s so popular. He must have gone over the new house with a fine tooth comb too. Found things I hadn’t noticed and definitely gave myself a good ‘book’ to read about my new house. Well worth it and I will pass on is details to anyone buying property.

5/5

I had used Mal Wright for pre-purchase inspections at a unit I was buying in Nelson Bay several years ago, so when I was looking at upgrading I googled to see if Mal was still inspecting & was glad to find out he was! It took me a few months to find a place I liked but when I was ready I called Mal to book in inspections again. This time I had him do inspections on the place I was looking at buying in Soldiers Point, as well as the unit I owned so I could have reports ready for potential buyers to see. Thanks to his reports, I was able to negotiate a better price on the property I was buying and the reports he did on my unit helped me to gain a buyer quicker than I expected. So I’m extremely happy once again with his business and would recommend him to anyone buying OR selling.

5/5

We had booked in pre-purchase inspections with another company when they unexpectedly cancelled on us at the last minute. We were frantically googling inspectors to get our inspections completed before our cooling off period ended. Luckily, Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections came to our rescue! They’d had someone cancel a spot so we swooped in and grabbed it! Turns out, Mal is a very busy inspector so we felt very lucky to have gotten in so quickly. As promised, he had our inspections done and the reports emailed to us (and our Conveyancer) the next day. They had colour photos and descriptions of the problems that were easy to read and understand. He had found a few things we weren’t aware of when we had looked at the property ourselves, so we’re glad we had an inspector who was so thorough. Thanks Mal for all your help and we will pass your name out to friends and family who are in need (of an awesome inspector!)

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections were very helpful during a recent property purchase in Maitland. Not having ever bought a property before, I had lots of questions which Mal answered for me – even before he had done the inspection! After I had read through the reports, I called him with a few more questions and he was still happy to chat on the phone to help. It’s not often you find someone, in any industry, who will put you first. If I ever have an opportunity to purchase more property, I will be giving Mal a call!

5/5

I was looking at purchasing a property in Raymond Terrace. The Real Estate agent had informed me that there had been termite damage to the property around 5 years ago, but it was isolated to one area in the house and had all been fixed and treated, so there wouldn’t be any issues. I was a little hesitant so got straight onto Google to see who was experienced in Pest and Building Inspections and would be the best person for the job. It took a few phone calls and questions but I eventually got onto Mal Wright with his Thermal Imaging Camera. I discussed my concerns with him about the house & termites and he explained how his camera worked. I really liked the house so booked Mal in to do the pre-purchase inspections.

Mal gave me a call after he had finished the inspection to give me a quick rundown of what he had come across. There were no live termites, but the damage had been a lot more extensive than I had been led to believe. So I was left with a huge decision to make whether I was going ahead with the purchase or not. And if I went ahead I would be making a much lower offer than I had been thinking.

Mal’s expertise in this area was awesome as if I had just gone ahead and bought the property with the information given to me, I would have been thousands of dollars behind. He has very helpful, informative and I would definitely use his company again.

5/5

I was in the process of purchasing a house in Rutherford and needed to get Pest and Building Inspections done before my cooling off period ended. Mal was recommended to me by a friend who has used him when she had inspections done at the house she bought in Aberglasslyn. I gave his office a call and after speaking with Mal, booked it in. He was going to complete the inspection later that week and I got the reports the next day. The reports had colour photos and descriptions of problem areas. I was very happy with the service and the reports and can highly recommend him to anyone looking for an inspector.

5/5

We were pleased with the service and reports supplied to us from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. We booked online after reading the reviews on Google and the website. The house we looked at was in good condition, but we wanted to have a thorough inspection from someone who was non-biased. Mal also spent some time on the phone with my husband going over a couple of details. Very happy with everything & would highly recommend his services.

5/5

My parents had Mal Wright complete their Pest and Building Inspections when they down-sized and raved about how helpful he was, so when my husband and I were buying a new place, we decided to give Mal a call to see if he would be able to do our inspections. We had to wait a few days, but once we had our reports, we understood why. The report covered a lot, yet was still easy enough to read and understand. We also spent a little bit of time on the phone with Mal discussing a couple of issues, and he was happy to help out. We really would recommend Mal Wright for anyone who needs Pest and Building Inspections completed. Worth the wait!

5/5

I was buying property in Clarence Town and my real estate agent recommended Mal Wright to complete the Pest and Building inspections. Rather than just take my agent’s recommendation, I googled to see what other people thought first. He certainly has some very positive google reviews, the website was also very informative and there are lots of testimonials. I did look at other companies online but they weren’t as convincing. I rang Mal Wright to have a chat about the inspection, how long it would take, when I could expect my reports and asked if I needed to be there for the inspection. Mal answered all my questions without hesitation. I immediately went back online and booked an inspection.

My inspection was completed the same week, the reports were emailed the day afterwards and they also emailed copies to my conveyancer. I was pleased with the quick turn-around, but even happier with the quality of the reports and how easy they were to read. Mal followed up with a phone call the same day I received my reports which allowed me to ask a few more questions. How many other businesses do you know that would take the time to do that?

I’d use Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections again in a heart beat – I can highly recommend them!

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections has been a well-known business name throughout the Real Estate industry for years now. Many agents I know have always said to avoid using him as Mal picks up every detail of the property. There is an exception to that rule though – a lot have used Mal when they are buying their own properties, because they all want to know they are buying the best property they can. I’ve used Mal a couple of times myself when buying property. I’m not in the Real Estate industry any more now but would definitely refer him to anyone wanting Pest and Building Inspections done.

5/5

I recently had Mal complete inspections for me at a property in Bolwarra Heights. I was referred to him by a friend who had used his business when purchasing her property.

I was very happy with how easy it was to book in and I didn’t have to follow up anything with the Real Estate – they did all that for me. The reports I received were great – colour photos, descriptions of defects and they included a lot more than I thought. Needless to say, my friend was right and he was extremely thorough. I’m more than happy to give anyone a positive testimonial and recommendation for his business.

5/5

I’ve bought and sold several properties over the years as investments and each property I purchase I have used a Pest and Building Inspector. I think it’s important to find out if there’s any hidden surprises before you buy the property! I’ve used many different companies to do them, depending on the area, but after buying recently in Jesmond and getting Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections in – I won’t use anyone else! His reports were by far more in-depth and not just a quick yes/no type of answer. He went well beyond what I thought was the ‘norm’ for inspections and I’m impressed. I’m hoping to buy another property in the next 12 months and Mal’s phone number will be saved ready to call and book.

5/5

Mal Wright did inspections at my daughter’s property and they had been very happy with his reports, so when it came time for us to down-size we remembered to give Mal a call. He was friendly and very helpful on the phone. Our booking was entered and confirmed by his office staff and after that all we had to do was wait for the reports.  Everything went smoothly and we are now looking forward to moving into our new house in a matter of weeks. Thanks for your help, Mal.

5/5

I was looking at purchasing an older dwelling in Maitland and needed someone to do the Pest and Building Inspections who had a good eye for detail, was patient and thorough. I looked up Mal Wright’s website after a customer of mine mentioned they had used him and he was fabulous.

His website told me everything I needed to know – he was a licenced builder, fully insured and Real Estate agents disliked him (lol).

I booked online, but also rang around half an hour later to discuss with him different aspects I’d like him to pay attention to. Mal was very accommodating.

The inspection went smoothly (although took a little longer than usual) and he phoned me afterwards to have a chat about a couple of things.

My reports were emailed the day after and were full of information, including the areas I wanted double checked.

I am more than impressed with the service Mal provides to his customers and will be sure to pass on his details.

5/5

I had heard of Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections years ago when I was working Real Estate. A lot of agents wouldn’t refer him as he was ‘too thorough’. I moved out of real estate and started working in Newcastle and wanted to buy a house nearby as the commute was a pain.

When I found the house I wanted, I immediately knew I had to book my pre-purchase inspections with Mal.

Mal was very professional and courteous on the phone while he answered my questions. Then his office staff took my details and booked it all in.

The reports I received were fabulous. They covered all the rooms, garage and the garden shed. The defects were listed, some with photos, and the whole report was easy to read. I was impressed and now know why agents don’t recommend him!

Thanks for your help, Mal. Even though I’m no longer working in the industry, I will still refer people to your business.

 

5/5

Mal has helped us with Pest and Building Inspections a few times now, and we would keep coming back if we didn’t finally settle on the last property!

His reports have helped us make informed decisions and in the long run, saved us thousands of dollars.

He did inspections on 3 properties in the Maitland area for us. One we decided needed too many repairs, another one we were out-bid on and then it was a case of third time lucky for us.

If we ever buy another property, we will be giving Mal a call.

5/5

My partner and I were buying a house in Corlette. He has lots of friends who are tradies so asked around for the best Pest and Building Inspector. Mal Wright’s name came up quite a few times. We were happy with our friend’s recommendations, so booked our inspections online. We secured an inspection time later that same week and emailed through a list of concerns we had with the property.

When we received our reports the day after the inspection, all our questions had been answered and other defects he had picked up whilst there were also included. They were such comprehensive reports, yet they weren’t difficult to read. After reading the reports we approached the Real Estate agent and negotiated an amount off the asking price using the reports. Only a small win, but everything counts!

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections were very helpful during our recent house purchase. Not only did they complete our inspections and send us reports that were easy to read, Mal actually spent a bit of time with us at the property whilst he was completing the inspection answering our questions. And after we had the reports he called to make sure we understood it all. It was very reassuring and we felt that he had our best interests at heart. We will be recommending his business to everyone.

5/5

Thank you, Mal, for your prompt, professional and in-depth reports on my property purchase in Tanilba Bay. Everything seemed a bit daunting being a first home buyer, but you helped make the process a little less stressful. Your reports were also very good – I could read and understand them! Anyone buying a house should be using you for their Pest and Building Inspections!

5/5

After purchasing a property in Telarah, we were so excited about getting into our new place that we forgot all about the Pest and Building Inspections! It wasn’t until the Real Estate reminded us that it needed to be done that we realised. We quickly googled and liked the look of Mal’s website. We decided to phone instead of doing an online booking as we wanted to make sure it was completed asap.

We were lucky to get a spot that same week and were very grateful. After it was booked in, we spoke with a few people and they all said Mal was very good, so we were a bit relieved we’d made a good choice.

Our reports arrived the day after the inspection and even though they were quite detailed, they were still easy to read and had different photos of certain defects which helped identify them.

Our praises go to Mal for such a great service that he provides and was always so professional when we spoke with him.

5/5

We were more than happy with the outcome of our Pest and Building Inspections completed by Mal back in April.

He had found a few defects that were more than just ‘minor’ things to fix, so we went back to our Real Estate Agent armed with his reports and negotiated an amount off our original offer.

Without the inspections we would have been none-the-wiser about the defects, so Mal has saved us a lot of time and money in the long run.

We will be shouting out your name to people looking at open houses whenever we drive by! lol

5/5

I’d heard of a few colleagues who’d purchased property and used Mal Wright for Pest and Building Inspections. I asked around and everyone who had used him had been very happy so once I’d decided on a property I got online and booked my inspections.

I wasn’t too concerned about the house as it was newer, but there were a couple of things that I specifically wanted Mal to look at. After speaking to him on the phone, I was glad I booked him. He was pleasant on the phone and assured me that the extra items I wanted him to look at would be included in the report.

There was so much about the property that was covered in the reports and I was pretty impressed. Once I had read through the reports I called to thank him.

Like my colleagues, I can now say how great Mal’s inspections are. Thank you again.

5/5

My parents recommended Mal Wright Pest and Building when I said I was going to purchase a property. They’d bought a house in Green Hills a few years ago and remembered how great he was.

I was buying nearby in Morpeth so gave him a call to get the inspections booked in and out of the way (one less thing to stress about then!)

They were able to book them in the same week and I had the reports the day after (pretty efficient!) They were easy to read, had colour photos and, thankfully, there were no major issues (just a few small defects that were easy to fix).

I’m very happy with the outcome and can say I’d definitely use this service again, if the need arises! In the meantime I’ll just pass on Mal’s details.

5/5

After purchasing a house in Tea Gardens, I needed inspections done! Mal Wright Pest and Building was recommended to me by my Conveyancer.

I rang and spoke with Mal and he confirmed he had an availability that week to complete it and I would get my reports the following day.

I wanted to meet him at the house while he was doing the inspection, and he gave me a time part-way through the inspection when he could stop for a bit and give me an update. Mal was very informative and gave me some great information in regards to the property.

I’d be more than happy to pass on his details to any prospective buyers who need an excellent Pest and Building Inspector.

5/5

Mal completed Pest and Building Inspections for me on a house in Tenambit.

He offers a great all-inclusive service for customers – he chases up the Real Estate so he can go to the property, completes the inspections and also sends the reports to your conveyancer.

I was quite impressed at the length of the reports and they were well presented. Value for money and peace of mind at the same time.

5/5

I heard of Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections through a colleague when he used Mal to do inspections at the house he bought in Fern Bay. I had a look at the reports he’d been sent out and was very impressed. I was buying in the same area so booked an inspection online through his website.

I heard from his office the same day and they let me know it was all booked in and going ahead. I didn’t need to do anything else.

The reports were emailed to me the day after the inspection was done and they covered everything I needed. I even used them to negotiate a little bit off the asking price for different things that needed repairing.

I’d be more than happy to pass Mal’s name around to colleagues or friends needing inspections.

 

5/5

I’m glad I googled and found Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections when buying my house. There were certainly a lot of positive comments about the business but I decided to give them a call first.

Mal was very friendly and professional on the phone and it made me comfortable knowing I had the right person to do my inspections.

I was a little hesitant to read the reports, worrying about the terminology but I didn’t need to. They were easy to read, included photos and Mal was happy for me to call afterwards to make sure I understood everything and go over any questions.

I would happily recommend them to anyone looking at purchasing a house.

5/5

We saw Mal’s car at a property while he was doing an inspection in our street. We took down his number and looked him up online as we were also in the process of looking for a new house.

Once we had decided on a property, Mal was one of the first people on our list to call. We wanted to know everything was structurally sound and would have no major issues.

His website labels him as ‘Mr Pedantic’, and it’s pretty spot on! We met Mal at the house towards the end of the inspection and he had already spent an hour there inspecting, writing and photographing different things. He spent about half an hour with us going over a few things and then still had more to do!

We received the reports the next day by email and even though we had spoken to Mal at the house, reading them was a good refresher and they also included other smaller issues he didn’t cover in person that day.

We are more than happy with the whole process of the Pest and Building Inspections offered by Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections and can highly recommend them.

 

5/5

Being first time home buyers we were bit lost in this area. We had looked at several houses in the Aberglasslyn area before finding one we loved.

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections were recommended to us by some friends and we couldn’t have been happier. Mal was friendly and professional over the phone. We were very impressed with the detailed and easy to follow report that came back the day after the inspection.

The whole process went smoothly and we will definitely be recommending Mal to our friends.

5/5

Thank you for the Pest and Building Inspections you completed on a property in Bolwarra Heights we were looking at purchasing.

The reports arrived promptly the day after inspection via email and were quite detailed but still easy to read.

We would recommend Mal Wright’s services to anyone who is buying a house!

5/5

My partner and I just want to say thank you very much for your time inspecting the property yesterday and also for the prompt turn around on having the findings emailed through this morning.

The detailing of the report itself absolutely represents your meticulous attention to detail and it was great reassurance to know how thorough you were. We’re glad we had you complete the job. I thought reading through the reports would be an overwhelming process but the way you had it in layman’s terms with the photographs and a description on the improvements which can be made were beneficial.

I’ll be sure to recommend you to anyone I know requiring a Building and Pest Inspection in the future.

5/5

I initially submitted an enquiry online through the Mal Wright website and received a response the same day. When I was ready to book my inspection, I called and within 10 minutes I had my booking. Mal was easy going and really accommodating. Nothing was too hard. I spoke directly to Mal after the inspection and he talked me through my results and offered ways to resolve any issues. It was just the clarification I needed as the reports were quite comprehensive. Over all a great service that I would recommend to anyone needing an inspection done.

5/5

A thank you to Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections for your fast and informative Pest and Building inspection; it was extremely helpful. You shed a lot of light on our purchase. Moving forward, we will be taking your advice and getting a termite treatment done on the property right away. We would happily recommend you to family, friends and strangers!

5/5

On behalf of my wife and myself, I would like to thank Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections for a hassle-free pest and building inspection process, an informative report and a very quick turn-around time. The information contained in the reports has definitely given us peace of mind and enabled us to make a more informed decision on the purchase of the property in Glendale. Thanks again we will be recommending you guys when asked who did our Pest and Building inspection.

5/5

I have referred business to Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections on many occasions and all my client feedback has been extremely positive.

Mal is very reliable, professional and always personable. My clients have often commented on his depth of knowledge and efficient service.

I personally find Mal a pleasure to deal with and would recommend him to anyone considering purchasing or building property.

5/5

Thanks so much for your very detailed Pest and Building Inspection reports on the property at Merewether.

Both my husband and I were greatly impressed with the level of detail you provided. We’re not sure whether we’ll bid on this place, but we’ll definitely get you to inspect any other properties we’re interested in.

5/5

If you’re looking for a professional Pest and Building Inspector with a wealth of knowledge, Mal Wright is the one for you. Mal came and completed a Handover inspection for us at our new house in Cliftleigh.

He picked up faults that we would never have noticed ourselves with our lack of knowledge regarding certain codes and building standards. Armed with the detailed report provided by Mal, when the issues were raised with our builder all problems were swiftly rectified with no complaints. Mal was also always happy to answer any questions we had or explain in detail any parts of the report we did not fully understand.

I would highly recommend Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to anyone building a new home. Prices are fair and reasonable and the whole process gave us peace of mind.

5/5

Thank you very much Mal for your detailed reports. It was absolutely a wise decision that we chose you to complete our Pest and Building Inspections. We will pass on your details for sure as Mal is very nice man – professional, patient and kind. We appreciate your professional service and thank you.

5/5

Mal performed a Handover inspection on our new build last year in North Rothbury. His professionalism, vast knowledge, attention to detail and advice are some of the reasons that I recommend him to anyone building a new house. However, the most important service he offers is peace of mind, knowing that your build is as compliant with building codes as possible.
I would (and do) highly recommend Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections to anyone that is looking to build a new home.

5/5

Your Pest and Building Inspection on a potential property my wife and I were purchasing in Maitland was very through and the comprehensive report was easy to read with good photos. I was also impressed that you rang me to discuss the issues involved.
Because there were several issues with the building you inspected, we withdrew from the contract. We are still looking for a place to buy and when we find what we’re looking for we will definitely be calling you to have the Pest and Building Inspections done. Thank You!

 

5/5

Thank you to Mal from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections for your timely and flexible service. Thanks for the honest and no fuss approach, your advice helped me a lot. I will be using you again.

5/5

I contacted Mal Wright and got an appointment to suit my busy schedule for a vendor inspection (prior to selling).

Mal arrived on time and after the inspection gave me a verbal briefing of the outcome. I had the formal report in my inbox the next morning. His assessment was thorough, and his communication style was really effective and reliable.

The end to end process from contact to receiving the report was quick and efficient. I highly recommend Mal’s services for your next house inspection.

5/5

Having Mal complete Pest and Building inspections at a property I was interested in at Carrington certainly put my mind at rest.

It wasn’t a big house, but I just needed to know what was going on in the places I couldn’t see. The roof space and sub floor were 2 of those concerns.

Mal was kind enough to give me a call once he had finished his inspections and have a chat about the house before I got my reports the next day. He was very helpful and even though there were easily fixed, small issues, he put me at ease by giving me possible solutions (things I thought were big problems, really weren’t!). I used the reports to follow up with the different qualified trades I needed and they also reassured me.

I now know what I’m up for financially before I even sign on the dotted line which has helped me immensely with budgeting and prioritising.

I’d say if you’re unsure about a property, you really need to get those inspections done. Mal is the one to call!

5/5

My partner and I went to an open house where they had a copy of a Pest and Building Inspection for the property available to look at. It wasn’t very in-depth, and I felt like it just ticked off boxes for the vendor to sell the house. We decided we wanted to put in an offer, but also get another inspection done by Mal in the meantime. Our friends had recommended him after purchasing property and had said how great he was. The Real Estate agent wasn’t too happy about us having an independent inspection done and when they found out that it was Mal, they tried to convince us to get a different inspector. That made us even more determined to find out what they hadn’t covered in the reports. Mal’s reports came via email the day after the inspection, but he actually gave us a call before we had a chance to read them. He’d found termite damage which hadn’t been disclosed to us. We were speechless. Didn’t expect that at all. But even though he hadn’t found live termites, the damage was done. Thousands of dollars in repairs made the decision for us to pull out of the property negotiations. Mal literally saved us A LOT of money. So get those inspections done regardless of whether they have had them done already. Unless it’s done by Mal, of course. You’d have no idea if they were dodgy or not.

5/5

After going through the whole process of buying a house, you’d be crazy to not get Pest and Building Inspections done. I didn’t think there was much wrong with a property I was buying in Thornton, but when I received the reports, there were numerous defects. Yes, they were mostly smaller things I could fix myself, but they all add up in the end. I would always have inspections done just for my own peace of mind. I’m not a builder or a pest inspector so those qualifications are invaluable. Thank you Mal, for taking the time to do such thorough inspections and also for taking more time to speak with me over the phone.

5/5

Thank you so much for your thorough inspection of the property I am buying in Kotara. Your staff were polite and helped me with the booking process. The reports were emailed to me in a timely manner and were extremely helpful. I especially liked that they had colour photos and I also received a printed copy in the post! I’m thankful my friends recommended you.

5/5

I went and looked at a house in Maitland that I was interested in purchasing. I went back two more times before putting in an offer and being accepted. I booked in a Pest and Building Inspection with Mal Wright as soon as I could as I had heard he was an outstanding inspector.

My inspection went ahead a few days later and the report was emailed the following day. Mal picked up on quite a few defects that I didn’t realise were even an issue….. and I’d looked at the property 3 times!

I’m grateful I had Mal complete the inspection. I still went ahead with the purchase, but just with better knowledge!

5/5

My husband and I had inspected the property personally. Thankfully, Mal’s thorough process and detailed inspections detected issues with the property that we hadn’t realised.
Mal and his team organised everything on our behalf which was wonderful, taking some of the stress away from the already stressful process of buying a house. Communication was professional, prompt and the reports easy to interpret.
I can highly recommend Mal and his team for his Pest and Building Inspections.
Thankyou.

5/5

Mal is such a wealth of knowledge! After he completed a Handover inspection on our new house in Heddon Greta, he took the time to talk to us on the phone and explain different things before we approached the builder with our report. We are so glad we had him come and do the inspection for us, as there were so many items we didn’t realise that needed fixing! We are so grateful for all your help & will be letting our new neighbours know of your good work.

5/5

Mal did a handover inspection for me about 9 years ago when I built a new house in Newcastle. His name always stuck in my mind (having the same name helped) so when I was buying another property in Nelson Bay, I knew who to call to get my inspections done again.

The reports I received this time around were even more thorough than the first time (if that’s possible?). I was very impressed and although he only found a few defects, I felt the report was a great help so we know what to look out for when we go to do repairs.

Thanks for you help once again Mal. I’ll call you again once I’m ready to increase my property portfolio.

5/5

I’d made the decision after so many years renting that it was time to buy my own place. The whole process has been daunting. Looking at houses, speaking with Agents, Conveyancers and the bank! There’s so much paperwork to fill in as well! When my Conveyancer mentioned that I will also need a Pest and Building Inspection done I was gobsmacked thinking it was just another form I’d have to fill out and pay money for. I was almost not going to do it, but spoke to a few friends about it and they all agreed it was money worth spending. A couple of them had use Mal previously and said he was very good at his job so I booked online. He carried out the inspection within a few days and emailed out my reports the following day. I was amazed at how much detail was in the reports and honestly, he covered things I didn’t even realise would be included. There were a few minor issues with the property which were easy enough to fix but a drainage issue caught my attention. After speaking on the phone with Mal, I approached the Real Estate agent with the problem and he then spoke to the vendors. It was great to be able to use the reports to back me up and have the problem fixed. I’m so glad I had the inspections done – it has actually worked in my favour. If you’re buying a house – get Mal to do the inspections!

5/5

Mal’s reports were very informative and comprehensive but at the same time easy to read. They covered everything about the house and property. My conveyancer even said how thorough they were. We were very happy with Mal and his staff and will be using his business again!

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections were great when they completed inspections for me in Singleton. I didn’t realise he traveled out that way so that was a pleasant surprise. He made all the arrangements for the booking so all I had to do was provide the details. I’d come across Mal’s name a couple of times – a friend mentioned that he’d done an inspection at their property when they were selling and my Conveyancer had also said he was very good. A google search confirmed his credibility! I was very happy with the reports that I received even though there were a few issues that had come up. They had been covered well in the layout and I was able to use the reports to go back to the vendors to negotiate. Overall, I was very happy with the outcome and will be passing on Mal’s details to everyone I know buying, building or selling.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections completed inspections for me when I bought a house in Tea Gardens. He was very helpful as I had lots of questions about the house. He explained a few things to me as well so it was very nice of him to take the time out of his busy day for me. I would recommend him to anyone.

5/5

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Mal from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections after he inspected a property for me in Medowie. I met him at the property part-way through the inspection to go over a few things with him and discuss any ‘problems’ that he may have found. He was very helpful and I didn’t want to take up too much of his time so he offered to call me once he had completed it entirely. He phoned me back later that afternoon and I’m happy to say he didn’t have any bad news for me!

Surprisingly, my reports were actually emailed to me the next day! I thought it would be a few days at least. They covered everything I had asked him about and a few minor items that weren’t really concerning. It was all very easy to read too.

Glad I had Mal’s expertise on the job and I will recommend him to anyone.

5/5

My brother-in-law told me to get Mal Wright to do the Pest and Building Inspections on a property I was buying with my partner. He had previously used Mal and was very pleased as Mal had found termite damage which the vendor hadn’t disclosed.

I initially phoned Mal to check on his availability and was lucky enough that he had 3 availabilities left for that week so I booked one on the spot.

Once Mal had completed the inspection, I got the reports the next day via email. It took me a while to read through them (quite comprehensive, but easy to understand). There was nothing bed that stood out so that was great, but I did have a few questions as we wanted to renovate some areas. Mal was more than happy to chat on the phone and was able to answer the questions I had.

I can see why my brother-in-law was so stoked – Mal was a wealth of information. I’m glad he did our inspections as I know I’ve got nothing to worry about.

5/5

I’d was building a new house in Gillieston Heights and it was nearing completion when a friend asked if I was going to get an independent Handover inspection done. I hadn’t really thought about it until then so did some research online and called a few inspectors. When I spoke with Mal on the phone, he asked questions about the house and who the builder was and genuinely seemed interested so I booked an inspection online through his website later that day.

My builder wouldn’t allow me to be at the inspection when Mal was there and didn’t seem impressed that I’d booked an inspection so I emailed Mal a list of items I wanted to be checked.

Mal’s report was great – it included the items I’d emailed him but also a few more that I hadn’t realised. I had to book in a time with the builder and his supervisor to look at the defects list so it was very handy to have them all there in the report. It also meant that they couldn’t try and get out of doing the repairs or make excuses.

Overall, I’d say having the Handover Inspection was money well spent and can highly recommend Mal Wright.

5/5

We had googled before booking our Pest and Building Inspection with Mal Wright. There were quite a few we found online, but Mal’s website and testimonials stood out.

The house we were looking at was a bit older so there were a few areas that we wanted to be thoroughly checked and Mal seemed like he was the man for the job.

We were very impressed at the amount of detail that was in our reports and he’d included the areas of concern for us. We also received a colour printed copy of the reports in the mail.

We’re more than happy with the service and expertise we received from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections and will be passing on his details to anyone who needs them.

5/5

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.

I wonder if every inspector is this thorough? Maybe you need to ask yourself that before you book someone else. Thanks for your help Mal.

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal’s Pest and Building reports were great. A friend had given me his details after they had inspections done. He took the time to explain a few things to me over the phone that were in the reports and answered questions. It was really nice of him to take the time to do that and it was appreciated.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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!

5/5

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. We are planning on increasing our property portfolio again soon, so Mal will be one of the first people we contact again when we’re ready to buy!

5/5

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.

5/5

Being a first home buyer, I wanted a thorough inspection by a skilled, experienced, and qualified inspector. I wanted a clear description of any concerns. I chose Mal Wright because he offered a combined Pest and Building Inspection and the information provided on his website looked reputable and trustworthy. Mal did a great job and I’ve already referred him to a colleague.

5/5

Mal has previously done Pest and Building Inspections for me on investment properties. His reports are professional, thorough and he takes the time to explain things to you. He is an asset to anyone buying (or selling) property. I wouldn’t get anyone else.

5/5

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.

 

5/5

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.

5/5

Thanks Mal for all your help with my recent Pest and Building Inspection. Being a first home buyer, everything is pretty daunting, but you have made the process a bit easier. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, explaining things to me and your advice. It really was invaluable. I’m glad I had you on my team!

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

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.

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

We have had Mal Wright come and do inspections for us a few times now in the Rutherford/Aberglasslyn area. Each time he has delivered informative and thorough reports. He actually saved us a lot of money on one property! We wouldn’t use anyone else and always recommend him to anyone we know who is buying.

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

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!

5/5

I recently purchased a second property and called Hunter Valley Pest and Building Inspections as I had used them previously. They were on holidays and unable to do the job within the time frame needed so they recommended getting Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. I must say Mal was just as impressive as HVP&B. The reports were great and I spoke with Mal afterwards about a few things. I can highly recommend using Mal Wright (and I would use Hunter Valley Pest and Building again too).

5/5

We were purchasing property and our Conveyancer in Kurri Kurri recommended Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. Mal actually found a couple of major defects at the property but we were able to use the reports and negotiated a price deduction with the vendors. We were so glad we decided to have the inspections as it has saved us a lot of money in the long run.

5/5

I had Mal complete Pest and Building Inspections for me after reading a few recommendations for him on Facebook. I was extremely happy with the reports I received and Mal spoke with me on the phone to make sure I understood everything. I’d be more than happy to recommend him to anyone through Facebook or just verbally. He offers an excellent service.

5/5

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.

5/5

I recently purchased a house in Gresford and Mal came out and did Pest and Building Inspections for me. Mal phoned me after I’d had a chance to read the reports to make sure I understood it all. His reports covered almost every inch of the house lol. It was wonderful to speak with him and just get a verbal opinion – he was very informative. In my opinion, if you need inspections done – get Mal on the phone!

5/5

We read the majority of your 5 star reviews on Google, so we decided to use you. Your professional services from start to finish – from dealing with your office to receiving the reports was extremely easy and a painless procedure. You run a great service and your reports are easy to read with the availability of being able to call you several times to discuss the report was extremely helpful.

5/5

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.

5/5

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).

 

5/5

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.

5/5

Exceptional customer service from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections! Mal provides peace of mind at a very competitive price. I would not hesitate to recommend or to use his services again. I only needed to provide the property address and they took care of the rest.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections completed a Building Inspection for me when I was buying a unit in Mayfield last year. He was very thorough. I met with him afterwards with some questions and he happily went through a few things with me. I received my report the next day and it was easy to read. Very thankful I was recommended his services as it has given me a different perspective.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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).

5/5

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. If you are in need of an experienced and thorough inspector, Mal should be on the top of your list.

5/5

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.

5/5

I can highly recommend Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. Mal has completed a few inspections for me now and I have always come back to him with questions and he has always taken the time to explain everything. Do yourself a favour and book him in!

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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!

5/5

Mal came and completed an inspection for me over the holiday period between Christmas and New Year’s! Couldn’t believe he was still working, but I am so glad he was. I needed to get my Pest and Building Inspections completed so my Conveyancer could check over them early in the New Year. The reports were fantastic and covered everything I was concerned about. Now I’m just waiting to hear from my Conveyancer….

5/5

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!

5/5

We were lucky enough to have Mal complete Pest and Building Inspections for us a couple of months ago. He was quite busy at the time but we are so glad we booked early as we are now waiting to move into our house for Christmas! Without the reassurance of his reports, we would not have gone ahead with purchasing the house.

5/5

I use Mal because he is capable, direct and professional. He has helped me make informed decisions about what houses to buy that has saved me dollars, in fact real dollars. The thermal camera he uses images many materials to expose termites and moisture issues that are typically glossed over by real estate agents who typically focussed on the sale rather than the transfer of risk from vendor to purchaser. I have used Mal for three inspections and if the need arises I would call him first every time. For the service charge, the pest and building reports are gold, pure and simple.

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.

5/5

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!

5/5

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!

5/5

I’ve had Mal complete a Pest and Building Inspection for me once before when I bought my house in Anna Bay. I’ve recently purchased another property and Mal came and did the Pest and Building Inspections on the new place. As usual, his reports were informative and gave me a great overall view of the condition of the house before I actually signed away. Thanks again for your help, I appreciate the time you took to explain things over the phone as well.

5/5

A few years ago I purchased a property in Tenambit and Mal did my Pest and Building Inspections. I’ve just packed my house ready to move into a rental for a while after selling my house and I found my old Reports! I’ve renovated since I bought the house but it was a great reminder of how far I have come. Once I’m ready to make my next property purchase I will be contacting Mal again!

5/5

I have used Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections a few times now for different properties over the years and I wouldn’t use anyone else. Mal’s attention to his work and honesty are just a couple of his traits. I can highly recommend his work to anyone who is buying, selling, building or just plain curious.

5/5

Mal did inspections for my sister when she was buying a house, so I gave him a call when I was purchasing my house in Rutherford. He was helpful and explained what the inspections entailed. My reports were easy to read, included photos of some of the defects and I was pleased with the overall ‘experience’. I can highly recommend Mal Wright to everyone!

5/5

Really appreciated Mal’s help recently with pre-purchase inspections that I had booked. I am visually impaired and he was able to talk to me over the phone about his findings and explain things that needed repairs so I could make an informed decision with my Solicitor.

5/5

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!

5/5

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!).

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

I had Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections come and do a Handover inspection for me at my new build in Huntlee. Very professional and thorough. I couldn’t have been happier as he picked up a lot of things I didn’t even realise needed fixing which enabled me to go back to the builder and have them repaired before I moved in.

5/5

We need to say thanks to Mal Wright for the comprehensive Pest and Building reports on a house we were buying in Corlette. We were very happy with the reports and used them as our ‘bargaining tool’ to get a better price.

5/5

I had recently sold my house and Mal had been to do the inspections on my house when I was selling it. I was impressed with how thorough he was when doing the inspections that I got him to do ours. So I had Mal Wright come and complete a pre-purchase Pest and Building Inspection for me on a house in Jesmond I was interested in purchasing.

5/5

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.

5/5

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?

5/5

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.

5/5

Many Thanks to Mal and his staff for helping me with my recent property purchase. It was made a lot easier with your help and professionalism and your reports were straightforward. Only have a few more days before I move into my new place in Tea Gardens and I’m looking forward to it a lot.

5/5

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.

5/5

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!!

5/5

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.

5/5

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!

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

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. I can honestly say after seeing him work and then receiving my own reports, I understand why he is one of the best in the business. Happy to recommend his services to anyone looking at having any type of inspection completed.

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.

I recently looked at a house in Speers Point I was interested in purchasing so proceeded to get a Pest and Building Inspection completed. 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. The reports were easy to read and even my Conveyancer said they were impressed. Thanks Mal – I’ll be passing on your details to friends who are currently building in North Rothbury!

5/5

I was recommended to use Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections by my Real Estate agent but then my Conveyancer said not to use the agent’s referral. That was until I told them who I was using and when they found out it was Mal Wright, then they were more than happy and said he was one of the best in the business. We were extremely happy with his reporting and the service he provided.

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.

5/5

I found Mal and his staff to be very helpful with my recent Pest and Building Inspection in Bolwarra. They answered all my phone calls promptly and the endless questions I had were not any trouble. Mal actually gave me a call a couple of days after I had received my reports and made sure I understood it all. Wonderful customer service and a top job.

5/5

Great service! Mal Wright’s Pest and Building inspections cover all aspects of the house and property in his reports, and his staff book it all in for you so you don’t have to worry about that either. Efficient, prompt and polite. We would definitely use them again.

5/5

We can highly recommend Mal’s services. We’ve used his company to perform a few Pest and Building Inspections over the years and every time he has been very professional and consistent. If you book anyone else, you run the risk of getting a report that doesn’t cover everything as he truly is ‘Mr Pedantic’.

5/5

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.

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

Good Afternoon Mal

This is just a quick thank you for your extremely thorough Pest and Building inspection you did for my partner and I at Kurri Kurri. We were recommended to you by our conveyancer who raved about your reports, so we went with the recommendation and are very happy with now knowing most of the problems you found was all able to be fixed by the owners before we moved in, thanks to the information we gathered out of your reports.

5/5

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.

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections completed inspections for me at a property I had put an offer in on at Minmi. I was very happy with how quickly they responded to my online booking and when I received my reports they were easy to read and included photos. I will be passing on their details to anyone I know who is buying or selling property.

5/5

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!

5/5

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! We thought that if he did this to every house he inspects, then he must be good. We are still looking for our next property but Mal’s number is saved in my phone ready.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

I put a deposit on a property in Kurri Kurri and my conveyancer recommended Mal Wright for the Pest and Building Inspections. They were very easy to deal with. I had a million questions but Mal took the time to answer them and it really put my mind at ease. After the inspection he gave me a call and quickly went through a few things over the phone before he got my reports out the next day. Anyone buying a house should book these guys for your inspections!

5/5

Thank you to Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. They did our inspections at a property in Medowie at literally the last minute! Mal even went out of his way to get it done on a Sunday due to time constraints. We were more than happy that he sacrificed his weekend for us and got our reports on Monday morning. We can highly recommend his professional services to anybody.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

I was buying a property in Adamstown and had Mal complete my Pest and Building Inspections. Friends had recommended him and said how great his reports were. Well, I must say, I was pretty happy too. I read the reports and could understand them but I was most impressed that they covered every room in the house as well as the garage and the outside of the property. Very comprehensive. Like my friends, I will be recommending Mal Wright to anyone buying a house.

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

I had a Pest and Building Inspection done by Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections recently. I was very impressed with the reports I received and that they were easy to read. I also heard from Mal after I had my reports just so he could follow up and he made sure I understood everything. It made the whole house-buying process a lot less stressful for me and I would recommend his services to anyone.

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal has completed a few inspections for me and has always been very professional and lives up to the name ‘Mr Pedantic’. If you want someone to ‘gloss over’ the property Mal is not who you want. His service is worth every cent. I wouldn’t have anyone else do an inspection for me. Thanks for your help over the years, Mal.

5/5

Mal inspected a property for me at Pelaw Main. I could not recommend this company more highly. His attention to detail and methodical approach to the inspection were outstanding. His explanations of the issues found were clear and concise and the report provided by email (and post) has proved invaluable. If you are looking for Pest and Building Inspections – look no further than Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections – Very knowledgeable and professional service and great value for money!

5/5

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!!

5/5

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!

5/5

What a fantastic service Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections offer! Mal was very professional and talked me through the whole process. Great written reports with photos. Mal also followed up with a phone call to make sure I understood the reports and to let me know he was available to talk to if needed. Thank you!

5/5

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.

5/5

My wife and I had Mal Wright complete Pest and Building Inspections on a recent property purchase in Chisholm. We had a few items that we asked to be double checked at the inspection and Mal was more than happy to do this and they were included in the report when we received it. The reports were very easy to read and included photos. We had the reports emailed directly to our Conveyancer so that was also one less thing we needed to worry about. We are very happy with the service that you have provided, Thank you

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal did our inspections a few years ago on a house we bought in Aberglasslyn. We were impressed with his attention to detail and liked that he included photos in the reports.  Just recently we have been looking at buying a house with our daughter and needed some inspections done so we found our old reports and contacted Mal again. He was just as informative and helpful as last time. Thank you for all your help, Mal. We can highly recommend your services.

5/5

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.

5/5

We’ve used Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections a couple of times now and he really does go over and above for his clients. We contacted Mal a few months after we had moved into our last house and he was happy to answer a few more questions and give us some guidance. How many inspectors would do that? We can highly recommend his services.

5/5

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.

5/5

Just wanted to thank you for your services, will highly recommend you to anyone I know. Thankyou again $$$ well spent!!!

5/5

I can highly recommend Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. I was very happy with the reports that they produced for me when I was buying a house in Gillieston Heights. He even took the time to explain a few things to me over the phone after I had read them. Thanks Mal.

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

First time home buyer here!! The whole house buying process was a bit stressful, but knowing that I had a professional to complete my Pre-Purchase Inspections made me feel a bit more at ease. My Conveyancer in Maitland recommended Mal Wright and they had a couple of reports he had done previously which I got to look at. They were quite easy to read and I liked that they had photos too. I had my reports emailed straight to my Conveyancer which also saved me the hassle of getting a copy to them. All in all, I was pretty happy. Everything went smoothly and I bought a house!!

5/5

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.

5/5

We had Mal complete Pest and Building Inspections on our house before we put it on the market to sell. I feel it was an advantage for us, as it has given us time to fix any smaller problems and then the buyers will also know what needs repairs (and that we weren’t hiding anything). We have an open house this weekend, so fingers crossed. Thanks Mal.

5/5

Thank you Mal for your assistance with the Pest and Building Inspections you completed at a property we were looking at in Merewether. We were greatly appreciative of the short amount of time you had to complete our inspection and send us the reports.  We would recommend your services to anyone purchasing property!

5/5

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!

5/5

My sister advised me to use Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections when I was buying my house as she had used them once before and found Mal to be a great help. I had a few concerns about different things in the house and Mal was more than happy to take extra time to look into these for me as he was doing the Pest and Building Inspections. Once I got the reports I had a good read over them. They were easy to read, pointing out different issues and the concerns I had were also addressed in them. Overall, I was very happy with them and now my sister makes sure I don’t forget that she was the one who told me to use Mal Wright!

5/5

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.

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.

5/5

I have used Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections a couple of times now on properties that I have been looking at buying in Lambton and Charlestown. Each time Mal has been very helpful – giving me a quick verbal over the phone once he had completed both the Pest and Building inspections and offering advice. The reports were emailed the day after the inspection, were easy to read and included colour photos. I’ve been very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism and will gladly recommend him to anyone buying property!

5/5

I have nothing but high praise for Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. I called Mal and after speaking with him I organised a Pest and Building Inspection for the property I was buying in Jesmond.  The reports were promptly emailed to me the next day and I was impressed with the quality of the reports in general. It was thorough and had little value added touches such as photos of defects identified in the report. I found that to be very handy. It’s not often you find service like this so don’t hesitate to use Mal Wright Pest and Building for your next inspection.

5/5

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!

5/5

Mal Wright has completed four Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspections for me since 2005 in the Port Stephens and Newcastle areas. The most recent being a brand new house in Aberglasslyn. He is always prompt, thorough and cheerful throughout the inspection. Mal explains any concerns and provides clear and concise written reports. His explanations have assisted me in being fully aware of potential concerns in the properties that I have purchased. Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections have certainly have assisted me in making informed decisions and I would happily recommend their service!

5/5

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!

5/5

Thanks Mal (Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections) for helping us to find the right house. My wife and I  highly appreciated your services, your advice and excellent reports for the Pre-purchase inspections you did at Dudley. Mal was very good at his work, and patient with all my questions. The reports were of a high standard and gave us complete peace of mind in the house purchase. Highly recommended. Value for money and complete satisfaction.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections completed my pre-purchase inspections at a property in New Lambton for me. I was very happy with the reports. Very thorough and clear to understand. Mal even called me to explain the report personally which helped me understand and ask any questions I had. Highly recommended.

5/5

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. He also let me know of some issues that he found which I really liked as well. When I received the report the next day nothing was a surprise. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

5/5

Thank you to Mal from Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections for his efficient and effective service when completing my Pre-Purchase inspections at Adamstown. He was extremely easy to deal with and was prompt with all of my requests and replies. The reports highlighted issues in a clear and concise style with colour photos and suggestions included. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thanks Mal!

5/5

Thank you Mal for all your help with my recent property purchase in Cessnock. Your Pest and Building Inspection reports were easy to read and your offer to discuss any issues was greatly appreciated. I will be happy to recommend your services.

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal saved us so much money! We had Pest and Building Inspections done prior to purchasing a property in Maitland and there was termite damage found in the subfloor! So glad we had the reports we had done by Mal Wright! Due to this we were able to negotiate a lower price to purchase the property to have the damage fixed. Thank you.

5/5

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.

5/5

We had Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections look at a large house for us in Gillieston Heights (6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms!). Nothing was a problem for Mal. We had a list of items that we wanted him to double check during the inspection and he was happy to do that. We also picked his brain after we received our reports and our Conveyancer was pretty happy with the reports too. We will be sure to drop Mal’s name to anyone buying property! Thanks so much.

5/5

Thanks to Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections I’m the new owner of a property in Ashtonfield! My Pest and Building Inspections were completed within 3 days of making the booking and once I received the reports Mal gave me a call to follow up and make sure I understood everything. Great customer service!! Thank you so much!

5/5

My wife and I had Mal Wright complete our Pest and Building Inspections at a house we bought in Rankin Park. I attended the inspection at the end and I was very happy with the way Mal took the time to discuss a few defects he had found and explained who I would need to contact going forward. The reports were detailed and the photos were a great addition. Thanks for all your help.

5/5

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.

5/5

I was looking at buying a property in Cameron Park so I used Mal to do my Pest and Building Inspection. He found quite a few smaller defects (easy fixed) but a couple of bigger problems that he found were a little worrying. I actually used the reports to go back to the vendor with the problems and ended up saving money on the purchase price! All in all, I was very happy with the outcome. I am currently in the process of having different things fixed and move in next month. Thanks Mal.

5/5

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.

 

5/5

Thank you Mal I am a conveyancer, we recently received and read your reports one of our clients ordered off you. the detail and thoroughness was the best we have seen. Expect some referrals from us from here on. Well done you obviously know this field very well. The easy read reports are extremely helpful to all and the large pictures tell a thousand words as they say.

5/5

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.

5/5

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. Our Solicitor was also very happy with the quality of your work. Hopefully this will be our last purchase but we will be recommending you to our older kids and their friends.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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!

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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. I would highly recommend anyone building a new house to get a Handover Inspection done before you move in as my builder didn’t seem like he was going to fix anything I’d asked him to. Thanks again Mal.

5/5

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.

5/5

Having used Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections previously, he was the second person I called (after my Conveyancer) in regards to purchasing a Unit in North Lambton. Mal has always delivered excellent reports and they cover everything from the front door to the back yard. Once again he has impressed me and I will gladly pass on his details to anyone thinking about purchasing property.

5/5

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!

5/5

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). We were buying a house in Merewether and Mal was prompt, professional and our reports were emailed to us the next day. Unfortunately, we missed out on that property, but we will be using him on our next purchase.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal’s experience and advice were invaluable when we got him to do a Pest and Building Inspection on a property at Cameron Park. His reports covered items that we didn’t even think to check when we looked at the house initially. We are so happy with the services provided by Mal and would recommend him to everyone who is looking at buying a house.

5/5

Thank you very much for my Pest and Building Reports on the property at Raymond Terrace and thank you for the detailed report and phone call. I really appreciate it. If I come across anyone looking for Building and Pest Inspections I will definitely recommend you.

5/5

Thanks to Mal who completed a Pest and Building Inspection for me at a property I was purchasing in Beresfield. The reports were detailed and I really appreciated the phone call I received from him asking if I understood everything. If I ever need your services again or know anyone else who does, I will happily recommend you.

5/5

Thank you very much for your Pest and Building Inspection to our investment property in Charmhaven. We really appreciate the time and effort you put into it. Your level of reporting is clear and easy to understand. Thank you once again.

5/5

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. We were very pleased with Mal’s professionalism and the fact that he was happy to talk us through the report afterwards. If we ever purchase another property Mal will be who we call!

5/5

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.

5/5

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. Our humblest thanks and highest recommendations to Mal.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

Thank you for completing our recent Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspections at the property in Bolwarra Heights. To us, -Mal- is the greatest building inspector we have ever known. Thank you for all your outstanding service – it was far beyond our expectation.

5/5

We recently bought a property in Aberglasslyn and our Conveyancer recommended Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections and a couple of other Inspectors. We did our homework and researched the inspectors beforehand and Mal’s website, information and reviews were well above the standards of his competitors. We are so glad we chose Mal do complete our Pre-Purchase Inspections, his attention to detail and ‘after sales’ assistance and commitment to his work were invaluable. He comes highly recommended by us.

5/5

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. I was impressed with how the reports were presented, with photos and comments on the defects listed at the property. I’m more than happy with the service I have received.

5/5

I was recently I the process of buying a new house in Maitland and my Conveyancer recommended Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. Mal’s reports were easy to understand and even though there were only a few defects to the property, I found his advice invaluable. Highly recommended and I will be telling my friends!

5/5

Good Evening

Thanks Mal Wright this is the 3rd time we have used you, being RAAF employees based at Williamtown the word on base is to use you as you are the best. Again the recent report you performed for us at Medowie was excellent and you finding termite damage there will be a 4th report requested in the near future once we find another suitable house. We love your thermal camera amazing to see it in operation. be in contact again soon.

5/5

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.

5/5

I recently purchased a property in Cliftleigh and used Mal Wright for my Pre-Purchase Pest and Building Inspections. I had left it a bit later than I had intended to book in my inspections but Mal went above and beyond for me to ensure I had my report before my cooling off period ended. His hard work and focus on detail are what makes him a great inspector, and I’m so glad he fit me in!

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

Wow! @malwright. Thanks for your Pest and Building Reports on the property I was purchasing in Thornton. My hairdresser recommended Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections, so I went with it – hairdressers know everything, right? Mal picked up many defects that I had overlooked, and so I used the report to negotiate a better price! Woohoo. Win-Win for me, thanks to Mal!

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

Thank you very much for the Pest and Building Inspection you completed in Lambton for me. It’s the best money I’ve spent. It was very informative and the most professional report I’ve seen.

Thank you so much for everything you have done for me with my inspection in Cardiff.
I really appreciate all your hard work and I will be definitely be recommending you to all my friends and family who require Pest and Building Inspections.

This is wonderful Mal! I’m blown away at the detail. Thank you so much for being incredibly thorough.

5/5

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!

5/5

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.

5/5

We would like to thank you for your help with our Pest and Building Inspection we booked at Corlette. The reports were very informative and it was wonderful to be able to speak to you over the phone afterwards and answer all our enquiries.

My partner and I employed your services for our Pest and Building Inspection in Aberglasslyn and we would like to say Thank you very much for your efficient and professional service. I will be sure to recommend you to everyone I know who are in the market for a house, as we were extremely impressed with your service!

5/5

We found your services for our Pest and Building Inspection in Charlestown to be very professional and your knowledge in your field of expertise to be exceptional. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends in the same manner you were recommended to us. The pure nature of your attention to detail, thorough written report and photographs, in conjunction your ability to communicate with your customers all combined into a very worthwhile experience for us.

5/5

My husband and I would like to thank you for your quick service on our Pest and Building Inspection reports for our property in Aberglasslyn. The presentation was excellent and you are very thorough in your business operations. We will have no hesitation in passing your name on to other people.

5/5

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.

5/5

Susan and I would like to thank you for the outstanding job you did on our pre-purchase Pest and Building Inspection in Rutherford. The thoroughness and detail of your work were a welcome change to all the ‘horror stories’ we heard when we first told people we were looking to buy our first home. We have been recommending you to our friends at all opportunities.

5/5

Thank you for the Pest and Building Inspection you completed for us in Aberglasslyn. My husband and I would like to say how impressed we both were with your whole presentation. Your reports were very informative. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone.

5/5

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.

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.

5/5

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.

 

5/5

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.

 

 

5/5

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.

Good Evening Mr Pedantic

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.

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

Just a quick thank you for your very comprehensive Pest and Building Report the information was valuable.

Our conveyancer Lyn Johnston from Lyn Johnson Conveyancing in East Maitland recommended you to us and we are extremely grateful for that as you are very thorough identifying several items of concern which we requested and had fixed prior to settlement.

We rang around before deciding to use you to find several other people also mentioned you name as the best and most respected as working for the purchasers not the agent which was exactly what we where looking for.

 

 

5/5

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

5/5

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.

 

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

My wife and I would just like to thank you very much for your recent Hand Over Building Defects Inspection Report you performed on our new home.

You picked up so many defects that we would not have noticed required rectifying. Our friends that built a new home recommended you and we will also highly recommend you.

McDonald Jones Homes came to the party in rectifying all the defects in your comprehensive building report including another coat of paint on the entire internal of the dwelling.

5/5

I can highly recommend the services offered by Mal Wright. I have used his services on at least 5 separate occasions and each and every time I have been so pleased with my decision to use his service for both my pest and building inspections.

Mal is the ultimate professional, dependable, extremely thorough, reliable and a real pleasure to work alongside. In my experience Mal makes what is typically a very stressful time (buying a house) easier and more enjoyable. I have consistently felt more confident in my decision to purchase or not, as a result of his expertise.

I am confident that Mal does what is needed to get the job done and certainly is not one to just tell you what you want to hear. As a result of my using his services I have not purchased a property and likewise he has saved me an untold amount of money when purchasing another property. I am confident that I have more than made my money back and then some, as a result of using his services.

Mals reports are extremely thorough and he has a way of explaining things that even a non-builder like myself can fully understand.

I am so very confidently recommend Mal Wright for anyone considering a pest and building inspection and I would never consider employing anyone other than Mal for any future pest and building inspection I may need.

With respect,

5/5

Hi Mal

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for a speedy service, a thorough investigation and easily understandable report.

If anyone I know ever needs any reports done rest assured I will champion your services.

Regards

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!!  

Regards a loyal and super happy customer.

“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. I would highly recommend Mal Wright. We will be using him again”

5/5

The most worthwhile investment.  Mal’s quality and detailed reports supersede all others I have seen before. His service and feedback was prompt and of the highest standard.  His report ended up saving us from making a very costly mistake due to the issues he uncovered.  He will be our future builder for building and pest reports.

 

Regards, 

5/5

Mal is as thorough as they come, saved us from a huge mistake years ago and gave us great advice on our purchase, recently had him do a new home inspection on our build and he got in every nook and cranny, can’t thank him enough, highly recommend him.

 

5/5

“I would highly recommend Mal Wright Inspections for building and pest inspections. The booking was pain-free and very professional and the report we received was so detailed and informative. Best of all, the follow up call with Mal to discuss the report was invaluable. He took the time to answer all our questions and provided us with priceless advice which we will forever be grateful for.”

5/5

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.

5/5

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,

5/5

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.

 

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal provided detailed and thorough building and pest inspections on a home we recently purchased. He was able to alert us to a number of issues which need addressing and we would recommend him for his attention to detail and helpful attitude.
Kind Regards,

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

Thank you so much Mal and the three of us were so impressed with you and your thoroughness and advice and you’re easy to understand report. I will forward this onto Lyn Johnston our conveyance now. It’s such a nerve racking process buying property so thanks for your help and wish us luck. We would really appreciate some good trade contacts if you can pass them on. We know no one in Newcastle i.e. for the screws on the roof, the garage guttering and stormwater drainage.
I’ll let you know how we go and thanks heaps.

Thanks again,

5/5

Thank you guy’s for the prompt inspection and the quality report.

We feel that using Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspection services was easy and the report quality was exceptional.

Fiona and I would recommend you to anyone needing an inspection.

Thanks again

5/5

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.

5/5

Thank you for your attention and professionalism with dealing with the inspection of our new investment at Soldiers Point.
Never easy in looking for local support when locations are more than 2+ hours apart and trying to continue with regular employment commitments in Sydney.
I have would have no hesitation in recommending you to anybody contemplating moving to the Port Stephens area!
Catch up shortly

5/5

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.
Thanks again,

5/5

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.

5/5

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.
Regards,

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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..

5/5

Good Morning Mal,

Thank you for doing such a thorough Pest and Building inspection!

It is the most comprehensive report I have received. I intend to purchase more investment properties in the Hunter area and Newcastle so I’ll be sure to contact you for the pest and building inspections.
Kind Regards,

5/5

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.

5/5

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!!

5/5

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!

Regards

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

Mal, thank you for all your help, after providing a fantastic pest and building reports followed by our phone conversation the other day where you explained the condition of the dwelling to me prior to the auction gave me faith in having a bidding reserve price in my mind and I am very happy to inform you that I was the winning bidder.
I am taking all your advice and will address all the major defects the minor defects can wait as not so important till I can afford them. God bless you and feel free to drop in one day and have a coffee.

5/5

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.

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.

5/5

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.
