No. We have our procedure so that we do not miss anything and people following us around asking questions could cause us to veer off our procedure and miss defects.  After 20 years doing these we have learnt that distractions cause mistakes so we don’t even answer our phone during inspections.

Only a licensed electrician is permitted to do electrical testing in Victoria. It is illegal for a building inspector to test electrical.  We check for a safety switch, loose hanging wiring, broken or damaged electrical components, presence of smoke alarm and insulation over halogen lights which can be a fire safety hazard

Yes, if it is safe to do so.

If there is unobstructed clearance under the home, we get under.  The sub floor is where a lot of problems are found including leaking wet areas and termites.  

We can turn units on.  We advise that you still get the units serviced as there is no way of telling when units were last done and if they are operating to full capacity.

Arranged from overseas a pre-purchase inspection. Pete responded my email quickly and arranged with the agent. He kept me updated all the time. Inspection done within 2 days since our first touch-base and a thoroughly detailed report provided same day after the inspection. Pete patiently addressed my questions (even I called him on Saturday afternoon). Highly recommended.

Thank you Peter - very prompt, efficient and thorough service. We got our building and pest reports back after 2 hours of the scheduled inspection. Was very impressed by the quality and comprehensive report received as well.

The Mr Inspector team have been so thorough, helpful and patient with all our questions after each of the 3 house inspections that they did for us. Their careful examination of the last property gave us great confidence to purchase the property. We, hopefully, wont need to call on them again for at least another 10 years but will happily recommend Peter's team to anyone wanting to make an informed decision about the home they want to live in.

Peter has been our go-to inspector for our pre-purchase property inspections since our first home. His reports have been comprehensive + thorough and we've always appreciated his quick response / turnaround times. Of course, I do envy his career sometimes cause he has a dog who occupies him and likes being in the photos from time to time whilst on the job.Thank you and keep up with the work!Brian & Leena
