Customers highly recommend Vetted to book building & pest inspectors

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.

Leonie Chapman

Great report, uncovered some rodent issues we wouldn’t have otherwise noticed. Helped us to negotiate a bit harder. Cheers.

I recently used Vetted for my building and pest inspection, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The platform was incredibly easy to use and I was able to book my inspection in just a few clicks. Not only was the price very reasonable, but the communication from the team was excellent. I was kept informed throughout the entire process and the turnaround time was impressively quick. The interface of the platform was also very user-friendly and made the whole process seamless. But what really stood out to me was the helpful and friendly customer support. They were always available to answer any questions I had and went above and beyond to ensure I had a positive experience. I highly recommend Vetted to anyone in need of a building and pest inspection. They truly exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be using their services again in the future. Thank you Vetted for providing such a fantastic and reliable platform for booking inspections. Keep up the great work!

Overall I’ve got nothing bad to say about Vetted, price was a bit higher than I expected but the report was very good.

Jo Stevens

You guys are doing good work bringing tech to a very old school industry, keep it up.

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

These are the common qualifications you should look out for when selecting building and pest inspectors:

  • Formal education and background in construction, engineering, or architecture;
  • Trade qualifications, such as being a licensed builder, carpenter, or electrician;
  • Registration Victorian Building Authority (VBA);
  • Certifications from the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS), Master Builders Association, or Housing Industry Association (HIA);
  • Certification as a qualified pest inspector, gained through organisations like the Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association (AEPMA);
  • and several other ongoing education certifications and experience markers.

Yes, but it’s always better to get the whole report, as this will give you a better picture of the true state of a property.

The most common and problematic ones include:

  • Termites
  • Rodents
  • Bees and Wasps
  • Cockroaches
  • Flies and Mosquitoes
  • Fleas
  • Moths
  • Snakes
  • Birds

Generally, we can provide a full and comprehensive report within 48-72 hours depending on the size, case, and condition of your desired property. Larger homes and those with several issues might take longer.

Look for reviews from past clients. You also want to check if they’re licensed and if they have at least a few years of experience.

Vendor-supplied inspection reports are not the most trustworthy option. It’s always better to get your own inspector and have them produce a report for you.

The GST component is included in your quoted price and explicitly identified during your booking flow.

Discuss the findings with the inspector for clarification on any points you don’t understand. Ask for more details on the severity of the issues and potential remedies.

Get quotes from qualified tradespeople or contractors for repairing the identified issues. This will help you understand the financial implications. Determine how the issues affect the property’s value, safety, and your decision to proceed with the purchase or sale.

You can use the inspection report to negotiate with the seller. Ask for repairs to be made before you finalise the sale, or request a reduction in the purchase price to cover the cost of repairs.
