I engaged Sure company to do pre-purchase inspection for me. Rod was very responsive and organized the inspection quickly to fit the schedule. His report was thorough as well as recommendations. He also included the structure of the building in his report which is very useful. I highly recommended Rod. Note: I used another company when Rod went on holiday and it was disappointing.

Rod and the team at Sure Building Inspections – Parramatta are amazing to work with. Super professional, thorough, and easy to communicate with. The report was detailed and delivered quickly, and Rod took the time to explain everything clearly. Highly recommend their services!

Ramy

I honestly couldn’t recommend Sure Building Insections- Parramatta enough! From start to finish the whole process was super smooth and professional. Rod was on time, friendly, and took the time to explain everything in layman's terms. The report came through quickly and was super detailed, with clear photos and practical recommendations. Rod picked up a few things I never would’ve noticed, which saved me a lot of money and stress down the track. They genuinely care about doing a thorough job, not just ticking boxes. If you’re buying or selling a property, definitely go with these guys. Absolute peace of mind.

Sarita

Had a great experience with Sure Building Inspection. The Rod was prompt and managed to fit me in on short notice, which I really appreciated. The level of detail in the report was second to none, he went above and beyond to point out additional things I wouldn’t have noticed myself. I’ve had multiple inspections done on other properties before, but the customer experience with Sure Building Inspection really stood out. Highly recommend their service for anyone wanting a thorough and professional inspection.

We check all accessible areas: interior, exterior, roof void and subfloor. Our reports note what's urgent, what can wait, and what's normal for the age of the home.

As soon as you find a property you like. For private treaty sales, get it done before the cooling-off period ends. For auctions, review the report before you bid.
