Teresa R

Easy to see the quotes and book in the inspection straight away. No faffing about, I appreciate that.

Jonathan Clarke

Report didn’t mention any issues so we felt better going into the auction. Thanks.

Jane F

My father recommended your website and I’m glad he did. The booking experience was quick and the inspection was done to a high standard. Will recommend you to others.

Dominic Ryan

Made a last-minute booking because our previous inspector had cancelled, and the auction was 2 days away. George came in and saved the day. Great service. Easy to use website.

Patrick W

Had a lovely chat with Nathan from customer service. Give him a raise; he was very helpful in helping me book.

Nathan Taylor

We booked in Frank for our pre-purchase inspection. We attended the inspection with him and watched him conduct it. He confirmed it was an excellently built property and gave us the confidence that this was a great property. Can happily share that we won it that weekend at auction.

Mary Verdun

Love using Vetted whenever I need to get a potential investment property assessed. Trustworthy inspectors whose incentives are aligned with mine. Far more reliable than a certain other website which I won’t mention here.
