"iSPECT recently completed a Building and Defect inspection and report for me on a property I am looking to purchase. They made it very easy and the service was great. I provided selling agents contact details and it was all arranged without issue direct with agent. Turn around time from call to completion and receipt of report was amazing. Highly recommend iSPECT as a business."
