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.
