We were about to purchase a lovely old brick home in Hamilton, Newcastle, when our solicitor recommended Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections. From the very first phone call, Mal’s professionalism stood out. The inspection was booked quickly, and on the day he took the time to explain his process and what he’d be looking for. What impressed us most was his attention to detail. Mal discovered rising damp in several walls, roof leaks that had been poorly patched, and timber pest damage in the subfloor that the seller hadn’t disclosed. The photos in his report were crystal clear, and the recommendations were easy to understand. Thanks to his thoroughness, we were able to negotiate a significant price reduction and have repairs completed before settlement. Mal Wright’s reputation as one of the top pest and building inspectors in Newcastle is absolutely deserved. If you’re buying in Hamilton, Merewether, or anywhere in Newcastle, you cannot go past Mal Wright. Craig.M
