All Purpose Property Inspections

We worked with Ian during the pre-auction process on three separate occasions, and once post-auction.  He was always professional, timely, and thorough.  He provided an immediate follow-up phone call after the inspection, and a detailed report with photos within 24 hours.  Furthermore, he has gone over and beyond in assisting us to understand the reports and has advised us on appropriate follow-up questions with the vendors.  We highly recommend him.

I have engaged All Purpose Property Inspections for a variety of property inspection matters  throughout the year. On each occasion, Ian was professional, prompt and courteous. His technical skills, knowledge of the various building regulations and attention to detail are impeccable. I am based about 1,000 km from the property involved, and therefore rely heavily on the integrity of his services.  I would definitely recommend All Purpose Property Inspections to  others.

I contacted Ian of All Purpose Property Inspections after a new roof was put on our house to an unsatisfactory standard.  I was impressed by Ian’s professional and committed nature to his work  from my first dealing with him.  He gave a thorough inspection of the roof works undertaken and provided us with a detailed report promptly after his inspection.  His understanding of the building code and compliance issues ensured a satisfactory resolution of the problem.  I would   highly commend his services to anyone with building issues.  Thank you Ian.

Mitchell and I wanted to say thank you for your assistance in the construction of our new home. We are so grateful for your help, knowledge and support and feel that investing in someone like yourself was one of the wisest investments we made in purchasing and building a new home.

Having you ‘in our corner’ really made us confident in the end product and helped us to be sure that we were getting what we paid for. Both Mitchell and I are so happy with our new home and we really appreciate all that you did to get us there.

We will certainly be recommending you to all of our friends, and have done so already!

“All Purpose Property Inspections breaks all of the relevant information down to a level where everyone understands what may need some attention at a property under review. Ian is great at what he does because he keeps it honest and real. He is a wonderful communicator, and all of my clients who have engaged him have found he has their best interests at heart, whilst he fairly assesses the true integrity of the situation. Ian is very good at presenting his reports clearly, and talks through any important issues, so that vendors and buyers can feel they have a reliable source of objective opinion to draw on. Another one of Ian’s strengths is his ability to pinpoint the key problem areas and give proper weight to what is potentially an urgent fix, and make all stakeholders equally aware of what has the potential to escalate, as a problem, if it is left unchecked in the longer term. He will also point out small issues and even make suggestions as to how these can be easily rectified with a bit of simple DIY.

Having known Ian for some thirty years, I have every confidence in recommending his services. The process of buying a property can be daunting and scary, especially when you are looking for faults, but, with Ian, my clients soon find a highly professional and knowledgeable person who can usually allay their uneasiness because of his breadth and depth of actual building and inspection experience. And, in the end, he leaves everyone feeling they have a sound understanding of exactly what they’re buying into. APPI takes the untold mystery out of both buying and selling a property for all concerned.”

“I don’t know what I would have done without Ian, from All Purpose Property Inspections.  He is highly experienced, very responsive and a true professional.  We are building a new home and there have been multiple problems with the contract, the builder, and with the quality of the workmanship.  Ian has gone above-and-beyond on so many occasions, to the point of reviewing the contract documents, meeting with the builder (face-to-face) to identify issues with the actual plans, and has even helped me write emails to try and get resolutions throughout the entire project.  Ian is patient and honest, and has spent a lot of time answering my questions with great attention to detail, so that I understand where things are not being done to proper Building Regulations.  His excellent service has saved me a lot of money and I am so grateful to him for everything he has done.”

“I’ve now engaged All Purpose Property Inspections for pre-auction assistance on a number of occasions, and on each occasion I’ve found Ian to be incredibly prompt, efficient and highly professional. Ian has picked-up on things that I would never have noticed, and he has been particularly helpful when looking at older residential homes, where unknown issues lurk behind aging features. Ian is very experienced, knowledgeable and attentive to detail. His discussions with me onsite, and verbal communication over the phone (in plain English) have, in each instance, given me the confidence to either go ahead and make bids at auction, or appropriately ‘keep my hands in my pockets’. I definitely recommend APPI for the very well-educated and worthy service they provide.”
