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.
