I used them for a pre-purchase inspection on a weekender on the Mornington Peninsula and couldn?t fault them. They were quick to respond, well priced, and the report was really detailed with heaps of photos of the defects. Would definitely recommend iSPECT if you?re looking for a building inspector around Rye.
