Dudley has wealth of experience, great attention to detail, excellent communicator, and most importantly is a very genuine individual. I was purchasing a refurbished 1967 property as my first home, and I'm truly glad that I got Dudley to inspect it. He understood the home's construction method well and masters the key areas of concern even these older homes. Dudley's also took his time to explain to me before the inspection the key things he will look at and aligned my expectations, and explained the key findings afterward. I found this really helpful as he also gave plenty advice on maintenance items and reasonable action timeframes for them, on top of looking for major structural defects and pest infestation. I would totally recommend engaging Dudley if you really care about getting a comprehensive and thorough check of your property!
