I cannot fault South West Property Inspections. Our booking was processed quickly by Melanie and we had someone attend site within 36 hours. Mark had the report completed and back to us on the same morning, and was incredibly thorough.Simple, straight-forward, and trustworthy. Thank you!
Angela Steele (.
We just received their inspection report on our property that we bought and we're very happy with their service. It was very easy online booking. They immediately contacted the property manager, and everything was done within a few days. We would definitely recommend Southwest Property Inspections.
Yoko T.
Highly recommended. Damien and his team were incredibly thorough with the inspection and sent a comprehensible report afterward. Lovely to deal with and honest with their findings.
David P.
The inspection was arranged and completed promptly within a couple of days.A very comprehensive report was provided with lots of photos and explanations.In addition, the same day of inspection completion, the inspector contacted me by phone and discussed the report at length. He also advised that I can contact him again to further discussed.I certainly recommend and would use South West Property Inspections again.
Glen S.
My conveyance arranged for South West Ptoperty Inspectors to inspect a property we were interested in purchasing at Auction. They were very prompt at arranging the inspection and Mark called me as soon as he completed his inspection to let me know of his concerns and sent through the report shortly after. Great Service
Robyn B.
Mark has been really helpful and very efficient. The inspections reports have really helped us to rectify any major defect at each stage.
Angelina T.
This is the second time I've used South West Property Inspections. Great team, great service, thorough reports that are well written, and a good discussion and explanation of the findings.Thank you so much!

South West Property Inspections - Why did we not meet sooner!My wife and I recently settled on an "Off the Plan" home in which we engaged SWPI to complete a "settlement inspection". Melanie was very informative from the initial call I made and was able to advise me what SWPI could offer under my circumstances. In all interactions I had with her, she was very professional and honest which reflected the overall experience I had with SWPI.I had Inspector Mark come out and complete a very thorough inspection of my home which I could not fault his inspection in any way. He picked up scuffs and scratches not visible to the average person eyes. Sounded nearly every tile and found hollow spots even the tilers were impressed with. Even got a drone out to check all roof tiles and gutters. He was able to identify all "major" and "minor" defects which helped me fast-track my defect repairs.The report was provided same day which was impressive as it not only included images of his findings but made mention of all relevant building standards/codes it did not comply with to support the identified defect.I am very late to the party when it comes to engaging a private Inspector like SWPI, and I wish I had done in previous builds. I relied on assurance from council or private certifiers in the past and now believe that having a private inspector representative should be mandatory to any new build. Your inspector will not just check it has been built to code, but check functionality and workmanship. I was lucky that in this build the builder has done a fairly good job in the construction, but going through this process has given me for confidence in my purchase and given me the opportunity to address issues which I would have gone unnoticed until it failed.I strongly recommend SWPI for you building inspection needs. I would say builders may not be very fond of them, but they will be your best friend!SWPI, Thanks again! =D
Nathan R.
I would highly recommend Southwest team for your next building inspection.1 - Melanie ( hopefully I have spelled the name correct , please forgive me if I haven't ) , you went above and beyond to accommodate my request and book the inspection the very next day. Thanks for speaking to real estate agent and organising the inspection before even I made the payment as I was driving . Really appreciate your help and guidance.2 - Damian - A very thorough inspection report complied with photos and the necessary information I needed.Thanks team Southwest.
Mihir P.
Easy to deal with and everything was done without any hassles. I would highly recommend. Thank you to Melanie, for arranging it so quickly. Thank you to Mark for the comprehensive report.
John V.
Extremely detailed and informative reports. Very supportive team. Happy with the service provided. Thank you Team 😊
ashwin K.
I highly recommend South West Property Inspections for anyone needing a reliable and professional inspection service. The inspection report was detailed and easy to understand, highlighting all the necessary areas that needed attention. Thanks for fitting us in with limited notice.
Aaron G.
Reports so far have been great, I also want to commend Melanie for going above and beyond in organizing a last minute request for me which saved us from a potential delay in our build. Very accommodating!
mark T.
Choosing SWPI for our new build property inspections was the easiest and best choice we have made for our home hands down. Melanie (admin side), Mark and Damian (Inspectors) were phenomenal. The inspectors outlined any issues in detail and marked places around the site where required for parts that were non-compliant or defective. Their same day report made it super convenient to immediately send to our site supervisor for rectification. Would not hesitate to use SWPI again if we needed their services.
Aaron O.
The only inspectors I trust. Thank you Damian, and the team for a thorough inspection on my first home.
Hyun Seok K.
Damian and the team at South West Property Inspections are highly skilled professionals. We're currently in the process of building our dream home, and we've entrusted South West Property Inspections with our Pre-Slab Inspection, Frame Inspection, and Pre-Lining Inspection. Thanks to Damian and his team's expertise, several defects were identified early on, allowing the builder to address them promptly. Moving forward, we're committed to using South West Property Inspections for our Lock-up/Waterproofing inspection and Practical Completion Inspection. For peace of mind, we highly recommend engaging South West Property Inspections. It's a worthwhile investment considering the overall cost of the build.
Nav L.
Southwest did a thorough job on our PCI inspection. The report was prompt and came back the same day. Highly efficient and professional. Recommended for peace of mind on your build!
Meg A
I have engaged the services of SWPI and simply cannot recommend them enough. It is highly advisable for anyone building a house to hire a private building inspector. The small investment could save you a world of pain later. You may think your builder is great and has your best interests at heart (and they may do) however the only peace of mind you'll have is to engage SWPI. I am currently building and recently engaged them to carry out an inspection at pre-lining stage. Damian picked up the good and the bad and some of the bad was in the form of defects. I was able to use his report to negotiate critical repairs and rectification with my builder.I would like to add that we were working with a very tight deadline and I am very grateful the team were able to accommodate the inspection prior to the next stage commencing on the build. We received the report the same day (evening) and ended up halting commencement of the next stage due to what was reported. I'll be continuing to engage SWPI for every stage during the rest of our build. Thank you SWPI!
Maha P.
South West Property Inspections conducted a pre-purchase property inspection for me. After submitting an online booking request the inspection was booked for the next day and report was received by early afternoon.

Jess M
We used South West for the peace of mind package of inspections on our knockdown rebuild. The reports have all been done in a timely manner and are very detailed and helpful. Whilst there were not any major issues found during our build, and a few moderate and minor ones, I am so glad they were picked up so the builder could fix them before it was too late to do so. I have also been impressed by the little things found that we just could never know. If I was ever to build again I would hire South West straight away.
Tabitha R.
South west property inspections have done an excellent job with an external inspection completed. The report was very thorough and communication between myself and the admin was very quick and professional. Turn around time was also so quick! Amazing workThank you!
evy K.
Fantastic service. Easy to book, inspection all arranged via my agent and the confirmed with the vendors, before I even reached out to confirm it. I had my in-depth report by the end of the day the inspection took place. Photos, descriptions, even small chips, paint defects and everything in-between. Great work, fast turn around and quick to respond to all emails.
Marek K.
Would highly recommend South West property inspections for any property inspection!I purchased the piece of mind package for my new build and was very happy with the service provided. Melanie was always prompt in replying to emails or phone requests and very accomodating. All reports were provided on the day of inspection, were detailed and easy to read. I am very happy I chose South West.
Emily K.
Fantastic, we did our PCI in the morning and South West did their inspection before lunch. They found defects we couldn’t find. Highly recommend. We plan to use them again before after defect fixes and before handover.
Junarico T.
Very quick turnaround time with a very detailed report. I was blown away by Mark's professionalism and approachability. When he called to talk to me about the report, he was very accommodating regarding any questions that I had. The report was very comprehensive and even had recommendations regarding how to fix things.
Enis G.
Thanks Melanie and team for managing our inspection this week. Report was detailed and written well. appreciated the call from the team to walk through the findings.

I used South West inspections for all stages of a new house build. Happy with the ease of booking, where they directory coordinated with the site supervisor to arrange the inspection time.The PCI inspection was done by Mark Panetta and he was very thorough finding a number of issues. Even the site supervisor was impressed.
Navanga W.
Good service and quick turn around with the report. Will definitely use for the rest of our build

I found South West recommend on Facebook so gave them a go. Very easy to deal with and took the time to explain the process to me. The detail in the report was outstanding (they even flew a drone over the house to take photos). Highly recommended.
Lee W.
We got the inspection performed for "Pre-Lining Inspection" stage of our new house construction. Kurt did an outstanding job in performing the review and capturing the details! The inspection report is very exhaustive with good quality pictures. The pictures of the roof were also captured brilliantly! The report gives us great confidence on the build quality. We would be using South West Property Inspection for other build stage inspections too. We would also be recommending SWPI service to others!
Antony T.
I will fully recommend South West Property Inspections for your property inspection needs. They are very attentive to detail and would give you a very detailed report. They are also responsive to your queries and request.
Wilfred John S.
Thanks to Melanie for working so hard to schedule us in to their busy week. Thanks to all the inspectors who came to the place over the course of our build, Michael, Kurt and Mark. They were always polite and helpful when I needed clarification on things outlined in the reports.
Janice T.
We needed a building report to supply to both our insurance company and our new builder as our original builder has unfortunately gone into liquidation. I called several companies and was told they were either unable to meet our requirements or would charge over 2K. Thankfully I found South West Property Inspections. Melanie and Micheal went out of their way to accommodate us and reassured me they could facilitate our requirements. They arranged an early morning inspection within 24 hours and spent several hours accessing our property. Micheal was thorough and took time to explain all the defects and outstanding work. His knowledge and obvious passion for what he does is outstanding. A thorough report was sent via e mail that afternoon. I am so impressed with the service, the detailed report, the fair price and the professional approach. South West Property Inspections have alleviated so much stress and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Tim J.
Really impressed with the service, highly recommend
S P.

Their level of professionalism and customer service is next to none and both Melinda and Kurt were a pleasure to work with!Thank you for your help!
Meleena B.
2 inspections done so far on my current build and I am very happy with the results.Slab and Frame inspections were performed by Damian and Kurt respectively with reports emailed to me on the same day.From initiation to communications (Melanie) you can't go wrong with SWPI. I have been very impressed with their reports and transparency. I literally did not have to lift a finger as SWPI liaised directly with my Site Supervisor to organise everything for me. I look forward to engaging with them again to inspect the remaining phases of the build (Piece of Mind option).10/10 I will absolutely recommend!Thank you SWPI!
JC G.
Fast, reliable and thorough. Melanie was wonderful to deal with, explained the process and was able to book me in promptly with minimal fuss. Damian was thorough in his inspection and called to ensure I understood what would be in the report and made himself available to answer any questions I might have. Consummate professionals and very well priced. Highly recommend!

All I can say is...Wow!From the moment I enquired with South West Property Inspections the service was second to none.I spoke with Karen and Melanie on separate occasions and they both answered all of my questions and you could really tell they cared about what was going on and what we were concerned about with our property inspection.We had Damian out to our property today to conduct the building and pest inspection, he arrived on time and was up to date with the information The girls had previously noted on our file and fully aware of what we were concerned about.Damian went above and beyond and took the time to listen ,explain and also gave solid and sound advice whilst carrying out the inspection.The report - delivered to my inbox on the same day! - was very detailed and has given us a clear and actionable list of things that need attending to, I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of our property.You cannot put a price on piece of mind.Highly, highly recommend.Thank you, Team!Elise and Grant

We hired Southwest properties to inspect all our build stages. We found them professional, helpful, punctual and extremely competent in their work. From Admin process to inspection reports, everything was smooth, thorough and on time. The turnaround time for report after inspection was only few hours and reports were always thorough. I contacted them multiple times over the phone as well to discuss the reports and every single time, my call and questions were answered. Highly recommend them.
Yasir G.
South West Property Inspections are professional, punctual and a pleasure to deal with. From the customer service over the phone to the online booking and website, it has been all been 5 star.I had initial contact with Damian, who explained and ran through the building inspection process clearly and answered my questions thoroughly.Melanie was amazing to deal with and has been great in following up and checking to see when they were able to perform the inspections and had managed to squeeze us on extremely short notice.Michael the inspector was punctual and nice and easy to talk to, He took the time to explain everything and has many years of experience.The report was very detailed and the inspector found a few minor problems and was able to return the report back within the same day.Highly recommend for anyone looking to get peace of mind and assistance in having their property inspected.
Phillip S.
Damien is an absolute legend! Super comprehensive, friendly and polite! So is the rest of his team. A+++ service, highly recommend South West Property Inspections!
Stella K
Our inspection was very quick and painless, and as thoroughly detailed as one could get; even down to very minor cosmetic issues. Would definitely go with them again in the future!
Tom M.
It was smooth experience from booking to the actual inspection. They are responsive. They have provided a very thorough inspection report for the Practical Completion Inspection. There are a number of items they have included in their report which we missed. We are happy we chose South West Inspection. It's value for money. Highly recommended.
Maureen A.
Very Responsible staff members. They are Reachable always when need of any clarifications. I strongly recommend them for your inspections.
Philemon R.
South West Property Inspections are the real deal. Professional, punctual and a pleasure to deal with. They first crossed my path 12 months ago when their inspector turned up to do a building inspection on my house for a potential buyer. I was so impressed with their work I engaged them to inspect a house I am now building.Melanie squeezed us into a fully booked schedule on extremely short notice, (greatly appreciated Melanie, thank you) so we could then move forward with our build. The report was very detailed and the inspector found a few minor problems, that we would have overlooked. I will be using this company again on my build and recommending them to any friends who need a property inspected. Great work South West Property Inspections. Thank you.
Margaret B.
We are very happy with the service we received from South West Property Inspections. Michael was our inspector and he was fantastic. He was thorough and was able to explain the reasons we were having problems with our gutters and our flooring. He clearly explained what we would need to do to fix the issues. We have no hesitations in recommending this company.
Debbie D.
We engaged southwest inspections after receiving a lot of feedback from friends and I would say they have only exceeded our expectations. During our pre-slab inspection, Our SS said it was difficult to provide a fixed slab pour date due to unpredicted weather and then we only had left a day between formwork completion and slab pour. With just less than a day notice about this and all inspectors busy with planned inspections, Melanie from Southwest moved mountains to make things work for us. She is absolutely fantastic and get work done in best possible way and best possible outcome for clients. We were also lucky to have Michael as our inspector who did a through inspector of our pre-slab form work and noted few things which SS corrected in the morning or slab pour. He had to drive 3 additional hours for the round trip just to do our inspection intake, which we highly appreciate. It is always good to have an expert's eye over things and I can't recommend enough how important it is to have third party inspector and southwest for your property.
Ashesh S.
We have used South West now on a couple of occasions.They are thorough, polite, efficient and write an easy to read and understand report.We would recommend them highly, and will continue to use them.Thank you to South West Property Inspections.
Darko G
Exceptional service. Very easy to deal with and I received the report on the same day of the inspection. Extensive in their detail and notes the best course of action.
Adrian
As a lot of people know, purchasing a new property can be very stressful. There are so many things that need to be done, legals, inspections, removals etc.Engaging the team at South West Property Inspections was one of the best choices we made with the purchase of our new home.Very responsive, professional and were able to meet our needs. This helped take some of the stress out of the process.We approached the team on the Friday, from there, they had arranged time with the Vendors of the new property and by the Monday night, we had our report.I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.Thank you very much for all of your help in getting this sorted.
Gregory J.
I found out about these guys through my broker, they're the best. I've used their service twice now and on both occasions they provided a thorough report and explained any concerns I had. Huge thanks to Damian and Kurt!
Adrienne
Quality Professional service with a team that pride themselves on the fine details. Kurt inspected my under construction home today and was on point in pointing out any issues he believes needed rectification. Highly recommend inspector Kurt and the team at SWPI.
Dean R.
I first engaged South West Property Inspections early in 2021 where they completed multiple inspections over different stages of my building journey. The entire team from Melanie in the office to Damien and Michael who carried out my inspections were fantastic. The reports were always received on the same day the inspection was carried out and were easy to read, stated what the defect was along with photos and relevant building codes where applicable clearly stipulating any breaches identified.This next sentence is a positive reflection on South West Property Inspections despite the initial wording. However, unfortunately South West Property Inspections easily earned their worth by identifying defects and issues well over the price of their services. On that basis and what was outlined above, I'd have no qualms recommending South West Property Inspections to friends and family in the future and if the need arose I'll be sure to engage them again.
Jacob P.
Just got my framework inspected yesterday and also received report in the afternoon. Very easy to deal with and prompt service and now have peace of mind with the progress of build. Will be booking them again for the next inspection. Highly recommended.
Bgabriel
I would totally recommending South West to our friends and family, the service is amazing. Both the admin and inspector are very responsive and professional. Money worth spent especially as a first home buyer with no prior knowledge about building a house, using South West has given us piece of mind knowing we have an expert looking after our build.
Yuki K.
After many years of grinding away we have been able to afford to build our dream home, being probably the most costly purchase one makes in their life it was only right we have our build inspected by a independent inspector. The team i have dealt with have been great and the reports have been worth every dollar spent. Looking forward to seeing this house come to life :) Thank you ( Mel, Karen, Damian & Michael )RegardsBima & Nadia
