Fabulous experience with the team at Buy Wise. They were so helpful and accommodating. The job was completed quickly and they were quick to respond to any communication I sent. Excellent service.
Oh my God! Buy Wise how lucky am I to find you! When you are buying a house you need service partners who are like your allies. They need to back you every step of the way. Massive shout out to Philip. The Building/pest report was absolute gold standard, with the right amount of detail & summary. You get too-notch quality from these guys. I’m so glad I found them. Philip even had emailed us & had a call with us one day prior to the auction to clarify any doubts. He’s very generous with his time & extremely skilled at evaluating properties. Massive respect for this company. Thank you guys. You are absolute stars
This is my first time using Buy Wise and I must say I am very impressed. The appointment was set up very promptly,. Immediately after the inspection, I got a call from Phil to discuss the results, and it was followed up by a very detailed report including recommendations to help remediate some of the minor issues. 10 out of 10, can recommend wholeheartedly.
Had a great experience with Buy Wise Inspections. Booking was easy, the report was clear with photos and everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand. They even called to go through the report and answer our questions, which we really appreciated. It made the home buying process much less stressful. Highly recommend
As a local buyers advocate in Melbourne, I have worked with many building inspectors. However, ever since engaging Buy Wise at the start of this year, they’ve become the only building inspectors we use for our clients. They are truly in a league of their own. I also use Phil for my own personal property investments, as there is no one that I trust more. They are incredibly thorough, experts like no other, provide exceptional service and their reports are comprehensive, yet very clearly presented, making it easy for clients to understand the risks and make informed decisions.
