Through engaging Geoff as a property inspector, I’ve found him to be fantastic at his job. I highly recommend him, 5+ Starts!! Geoff is professional, responsive, thorough, sincere and flexible. I met Geoff almost 10 years ago when he provided us with the property inspection that led to us purchasing the house we currently live in, which we are very happy with. There wasn’t too much wrong with it yet the faults that were there, Geoff found and communicated to us, so we walked into the auction aware of exactly what we were buying. Since then, Geoff has always been generous with his time. There have been several occasions I’ve called him about properties we were looking at. He’s generously shared his knowledge with me when I’ve reached out about these properties, even though unfortunately they didn’t proceed to the point of needing inspections (other buyers getting in before auction!). Yesterday, Geoff performed another property inspection for us. He found more faults with this property than the last one (which we bought and were happy with). The reassuring thing is that if there is a fault to be found, Geoff finds it. Also, he is excellent at communicating in a way that is understandable even for me, who knows very little about building and construction. I highly recommend him, 5+ Starts!!

Geoff was great to deal with, gave us honest advice and feedback and was very flexible when conducting our pre-purchase inspection. The report was very thorough and was received within a few hours of the inspection. Geoff was also really happy to discuss any concerns we had. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him to anybody looking to buy a property.

Geoff made the house inspection process easy as he organised the time and date with our agent - nothing more for us to add to our list. Geoff was quick to respond to our questions and took the time to explain in detail any observations. Would highly recommend if you are in need of a quick, efficient and comprehensive detailed report. Thank you

Geoff was super helpful and readily available to answer all my questions, of which there were many! I'm a first home buyer and had some concerns about a new build I was looking at, and Geoff was able to assess it same day and provide a verbal report directly afterward to alleviate my concerns. The paper report was quick to follow, and he had so much knowledge and advice on how I could best remedy any minor issues, even when they weren't related to the quality of the work (such as notes on drainage, concreting etc). I can't recommend Geoff enough as a patient and caring inspector who goes out of his way to help. And yes, I bought the house. Thankyou Geoff! 😊

We had our house checked over by Australian Building Inspections 4 years ago before purchasing our first house. Geoff was very knowledgeable, professional and offered a great post inspection service. His report was thorough and easy to understand with actual photos of our property. Would highly recommend him. 4 years later we still have not had any nasty surprises with the house. Very happy customers - Steve & Monika.

Money well spent. The go to guy for all your building inspection requirements.I had recently built my house with a volume builder and had a lot of issues and the builder has been very blatant about not fixing the issues in question. So, I hired Geoff to get a building inspection.Geoff thoroughly inspected the building a wrote a report which made the builder fix the issues.I thank Geoff for his integrity of writing the report against a volume builder knowing who the builder was and helping me getting the issues fixed.

We got a few houses inspected before we eventually bought our home at a last min auction WITHOUT an inspection! We liked Geoff's work so much that we got him in to give us a report on the place we had just bought even though it was too late to back out. It was great to have a trusted expert run his eye over the place and help us identify anything we might need to look into sooner rather than later. Geoff is professional and easy to work with and I still have the detailed report 5 years later as a reference. I am happy to recommend Geoff to any of my friends who are in the market.

I used Geoff to carry out both a building and pest inspection when I purchased a house. His work was terrific and in fact lead to the vendor having to complete some significant works as he was not aware of the potential problems. Glad Geoff was our professional for this.

Kelly
21:18 07 Jun 21
When we purchased our property we had never bought somewhere before and didn’t really know what we were looking for. Geoff was very professional, helpful and thorough. He gave us a very comprehensive report including photos which indicated all the actual and likely problem areas. This was enormously helpful in assisting us to negotiate the purchase price down as we had solid information to inform us about what needed to be done. All areas he identified as problem areas have turned out to need work but the main thing was we went in with our eyes open and knew what needing to be addressed. I can’t thank Geoff enough for all his advice and support. He made a very stressful process much easier for us. Thanks Geoff!

We used Geoff to do a townhouse inspection in Brunswick, Melbourne. We had used someone different for another house and weren’t that happy with them. Geoff in contrast was efficient, knowledgeable and professional, very thorough and gave us really sound advice.Some of the things he mentioned were absolutely spot on - eg we didn’t have a balcony but he noticed neighbours did and mentioned they might have leaking issues due to a change in regulations since the building went up. He was right!! We did buy the property and we were happy with Geoff - I highly recommend his services.

I used Geoff's company a few years ago to inspect a property that I didn't end up bidding for as a result of the inspection report provided by Geoff. It was a pleasure working with Geoff and the team - all communication was clear and timely, the fee was reasonable and I considered it good value for money, and the report provided was clear and concise and enabled me to make an informed decision about a property purchase. I highly recommend.

Working with Geoff has been a fantastic experience. I had a building and pest inspection done for a property I was purchasing. I contacted Geoff less than 24hrs from when I needed the inspection and he worked to accommodate. As a first home buyer, I’d never been through the inspection process before and was unfamiliar with the checks associated, language etc. Geoff talked me through his findings shortly after finishing the inspection. He explained everything so articulately and explained terms and building conditions I was unfamiliar with- without making me feel silly for asking. He gave me advice on how to liaise with the agent and had the report back to me in about 9 hours. The report is very detailed, very clear. Geoff has been thorough and explicit in his comments and recommendations. Such an efficient and easy process with Geoff. I’d really recommend Geoff and this service to anyone as it was a great customer experience.
Melanie Hill
04:34 17 Mar 21
We strongly recommend Geoff. He was very responsive and gave us a really detailed, but clear, report about the house we want to buy.

Geoff was fantastic to deal with and very thorough with his inspection of a pre-purchase house inspection. As soon as he was done with his inspection he called me and spent the time to talk me through each of the different items he saw as being relevant and was incredibly helpful at helping me to understand the level of risk and potential financial pitfall that might exist with each. His effort and time was very much appreciated and I would be more than happy to recommend him to anyone looking for a pre-purchase bulding inspection.

I am the first home buyer thus, I had zero knowledge how I should organize a pre-purchase property inspection but Geoff was so helpful and he made that inspection damn so easy.Once you enter your details and what service you would like to receive from him, you do not need to do anything but Geoff or his team does everything for you. When an inspection is completed you get a call from Geoff and he goes through the report with you and highlights what you need to be aware with the property.To sum up, as other reviews indicate, I highly recommend to get contact Geoff and organize the inspection and you have no regret.

He found and reported on things that we didn’t even think about. Geoff was very helpful and followed up after sending the report through to offer any clarification we might require. I feel confident now that we have the correct information to move forward and purchase our home. Thanks Geoff.

Geoff was extremely helpful coming out on the 2nd jan during the busy season. We met him on site at the end and he gave us his professional opinion. It was really helpful to have this as we were negotiating a private sale.Geoff works for his client (us) and gave us his unbiased professional opinion. It was well worth the price given the inspection informed us the house had major structural damage and would need immediate repair before tenanting or living in. Thankyou.

Geoff from House Inspection Melbourne was fantastic and very personable to work with. Was very thorough and professional in his report and advice. He went above and beyond to help clarify and explain any areas we were unsure of. I highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again

Geoff from House Inspections Melbourne was prompt, thorough, knowledgeable and friendly to deal with.He was able to conduct the building and pest inspections within a few days of my contact with him and explained everything clearly, including defects and possible causes. He spent 3 hours inspecting the property and was able to provide his comprehensive report with pics, defects and recommendations and a summary, very quickly and I felt confident in his report.Although I had received other cheaper quotes for building and pest inspections, the service provided by Geoff was exceptional and I am not certain that you would receive the same level of service, detail and accuracy with a builder quoting a much cheaper price.As they say, you get what you pay for, and with Geoff, I had an experience that was positive (even though I now know that I have lots of problems with my house) and received accurate, comprehensive report that I can now rely on to do the rectification work necessary to protect my property investment.I would recommend Geoff and House Inspections Melbourne to anyone who wants things done right.

Exceptional service, highly recommend Geoff Sharp for repurchase house inspection. Prompt, professional and very generous with his time. I am a first home buyer and to have the advice and support of someone so thorough and knowledgeable provided me with much needed confidence and security. Geoff provided an extensive report with detailed information, including photos. Geoff followed up with a phone call to talk through the report and any questions or concerns that I might have had. I received advice on the current condition of the house and on priority items requiring attention should the purchase proceed. I completely trusted Geoff’s advice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

We were looking to purchase an older home, contacted Geoff at Phillip Island Building inspections, his knowledge and expertise were second to none. Geoff picked up issues that we over looked, so glad we used this business, money very well spent.

We came across Geoff last year when he inspected our home for the potential buyers and upon reading his report we were amazed into how particular he was with the reporting and also his eye for detail was extraordinary. As a result , we contacted him to do an inspection on a property we have just finished building and sure to form , his report was exemplary and so accurate . Would recommend Geoff on any level with regards to property and developmentStratosAltona, Victoria

Geoff went over and above. I couldn’t be happier. We were in an absolute rush (48 hours) and Geoff was incredibly helpful. Every question we had he happily answered. He was quick to communicate and reply and gave us frank and honest advice. This was the first time dealing with this process and we are enormously grateful for the work Geoff provided. He stepped us through things and gave us sound peace of mind. Thanks Geoff, we are grateful.

I engaged Geoff for a pre-purchase building and pest inspection.Geoff, is knowledgeable and patient, he walked me through the house inspection process before the engagement, coordinated with the real estate agents to do the inspection (within a day's notice), strictly following the COVID-19 safety practices (maintaining social distance and not allowing more than 1 person in the property while inspecting).He walked me through the issues noted in the property and how could they be remedied. Gave great examples of practical issues, that an owner-occupier will have to live with, not just theoretical, over the top explanations. Geoff is very professional and thorough, taking time to comb through the estate and noting even the minutest of details, that could be missed by an untrained eye. Unsurprisingly, Geoff highlighted issues that even the sellers themselves had never known about their own property for all this while.Geoff is highly recommended and will definitely be consulting me for any of my future purchases.

We have recently had 2 inspections done by Geoff.Each report was extremely thorough and detailed. The reports enabled us to have full knowledge of all issues with the properties.The first property had a host of underlying problems that only someone with Geoff's experience and expertise could have alerted us to.We did not go with that property thanks to Geoff's report.The second property that Geoff investigated for us had some issues, but the information enabled us to decide that we would still bid on it. Also giving us the knowledge of which issues needed to be fixed ASAP.I would highly recommend anyone contemplating purchasing property to get a report done by House Inspections Melbourne before you make any decisions. We have learned a valuable lesson about what might look great on the surface can have major and costly issues below the surface.Tony

It was just great to get House Inspections Melbourne to have done this very crucial inspection. It was one of the next best thing we have ever done after purchasing a house. Geoff Sharp has been very encouraging and supportive to a first time home buyers like us. He showed up on time, neat and courteous. He knew so well his job and had even been kind enough to explain things without losing focus on what he was doing. He had covered everything and there were a lot of issues found beyond what our naked eyes can see. After he left, he even assured us via text message that he will be just a phone call away if there will be any thing he can be of help. The report we received later that day was very comprehensive and objective. Thank you so much Geoff.

Geoff was punctual, took time to explain every issue clearly to me, and suggested what can be done and the cost. Even better, the report was sent to me on the same day, so that I could follow up with the builder immedately. Best part, he even asked me to give him a call when the builder responds. What more can I ask?! Will happily call him again should I / my friends need another inspection.

I was provided House Inspections Melbourne contact details by the agent. I made a booking through the website which was easy and then was contacted by Geoff within the hour. The building and pest inspections were arranged and performed the SAME day. To say I was impressed was an understatement! A comprehensive report was obtained the following day. By now I'm super impressed. This process of the project could not have been made easier. I have no problems recommending Geoff and House Inspections Melbourne as a 5 star service.Kind RegardsMarcus Furlong

We engaged this company and Geoff Sharp to inspect a house we were thinking of buying on Phillip Island. A detailed and comprehensive assessment was carried out and was followed up by both a written and verbal report. This allowed us to become aware of some significant issues that while not imminently serious if they were not attended to could become so down the track. We were able to use this report to help in our negotiations and win a significant discount in the purchase price from the vendors. It is clear this could not have happened without the strength of the house inspection report and so we are very grateful and decided to purchase this home.

I recently purchased a property in Surf Beach, Philip Island and Geoff from Melbourne House Inspections service was outstanding. The house we bought had a few issues and thanks to the recommendations made by Geoff we were able to make an informed decision on how to proceed with the purchase and costs involved. We booked the inspection only the day before and had the report via email the same day as the inspection. I would highly recommend House Inspections Melbourne to anyone wanting a pre purchase property inspection.

We engaged Geoff to inspect a property in the Eastern Suburbs. We were pressed for time and needed an inspection in the next two days and a report issued ASAP. Geoff inspected the property as promised, provided excellent verbal feedback and provided the report well ahead of the time indicated. We were able to luckily exit the contract because of key findings in the report. Really happy with the service, reliability and professionalism. Thank you.

Geoff from House Inspections Melbourne has performed 2 pre-purchase inspections for me and I am very happy with the results.

In one instance the inspection saved me from around $15,000 worth of unseen work, i would not hesitate to recommend his services.

We have been looking far and wide to buy the right 'renovator's dream' for a while. We can't thank Geoff enough for his detailed inspection and willingness to follow our search around the countryside: on separate occasions he travelled significant distances to meet us in Mornington and then Mount Martha. His open conversation, frank assessment and exhaustive report allowed us to truly understand the challenges we faced. His advice was invaluable and allowed us to make an informed, confident choice. Without his open and honest feedback, our path would not have been as smooth as it was. Would we recommend House Inspections Melbourne? Absolutely.Thanks, Geoff, for the time you invested in our search - your professionalism and expertise has been appreciated.

Geoff did a job next door to my place and I asked him a few questions while he was there. I eventually called thinking I'd need him to come out to do a job on my house. He was happy to talk through it on the phone and advise me - even though he could have easily convinced me I needed to spend the money on a full report. His advice has been valuable and saved me money. I highly recommend his services because I get a strong sense of true professionalism from him. I trust he will not try to rip me off or refer me to one of his mates. His business card says he is committed to Honesty, Integrity and Fairness. He has demonstrated that to me when he could have easily had me reaching for my wallet.
