Some comments from satisfied clients

Firstly, thanks very much for the thorough job you did in inspecting the apartment I intend to purchase. I was really impressed by your report and its no wonder everyone I spoke to recommended you.

Thanks,
Richard Howarth

We are currently living in London and are actively looking for a property to purchase in New Zealand. We were recommended Cornerstone Property Inspection services and found the service to be very fast and thorough. We only had a few days to book and have the survey completed but this was no problem for Phil at Cornerstone.

As it can be stressful buying a new property at the best of times this is exemplified by us living overseas. The speed of service and the detail of the report made this process a lot less challenging for us.

Thanks for your help Phil and Cornerstone.

Paul & Justine

Cornerstone Property Inspection Services is a company that exemplifies professionalism, attention to detail and the personal touch. We have used their services three times now. On each occasion, an inspection date was set immediately, and the inspection carried out within a couple of days. The report was extremely clear and thorough, and very easy to understand.

When a property we were planning to buy was found to have several problems, Phil cheerfully talked us through it over the phone, and was instrumental in helping us to make the right decision - saving us thousands of dollars.

Everything about our association with Phil and Cornerstone was fantastic. We can't recommend them highly enough!

I received my report within 24 hours and would like to commend Cornerstone not only on the high standard of reporting, but also on the easy-to-understand format of the report.  The use of photographs was very informative.

Having picked Cornerstone at random from the Yellow Pages, I would say that I struck gold.  In terms of standard of service and prompt, efficient communication, I can only make positive comments.

Having this builder's report (limitations acknowledged) I now feel confident to move forward with the purchase of this property.

Kind regards,

I just want to thank you so much for your fantastic service. Right from the first phone call you were extremely helpful. I was very impressed with how thorough you were in your inspection and how detailed the report was.

I was also very grateful for the time you spent talking to me after the inspection explaining some of the things in layman’s terms for me. I will definitely be recommending your company to my friends and will be sure to use you when we come to buy our next house!

Thanks again,
Gina

I would like to thank you for the prompt and very efficient service that you have given.

As a vendor, I wish that you had not detected any evidence of water leakage in my home... However, as a purchaser, I would be making full use of your expertise.

Due to my circumstances, I need an immediate response and you were able to "squeeze" me in. That at the start was so appreciated. Then, once the leak was found, you explained in laymen terms the probable cause and the work required to rectify the situation. The builder you then recommended, continued with the high standards you had set.

Your clear and concise reports were provided very quickly and these enabled me to completely answer the queries of all prospective purchasers.

I have and will continue to recommend your services to all relative parties.

Thank you for the report.

We would like to make the following comments:

• CPIS was recommended to us by a real estate agent.
• We had no preconceived expectation as to the service offered.
• We were knocked over by the service we received.
• We had an inspection appointment (confirmed within the afternoon) within 48 hours
• The inspection was extremely thorough, & verbally/visually reported in non-technical manner upon completion.
• The inspection report was very comprehensive, and illustrated extensively to evidence all the issues that were discovered.
• We would readily & enthusiastically recommend Phil & CPIS to others.

With best wishes,
Jeff & Karen Curley

I wish to pass on some encouragement to you.  We see many builders reports and this would be the best one to date in terms of layout, good explanation of terms for laymen, its thorough coverage of all matters and good value for money. Overall very comprehensive.

We are very impressed with your building inspection report & how you run your business. We will definitely use your services in the future where needed.

The best building inspection report we have seen! You have been excellent, very efficient/thorough & helpful service, makes the transaction run smoothly with your guidance!

As building reports are quite technical (a different language altogether to mortgages/from my business), it was great to hear that the property was fine in simple language & also fixed to your very high standard/after your recommendations!

Thanks Phil once again,

I was particularly impressed with your service overall. Specific things that were good were

• the example report you sent me late last year;
• your follow-up on the phone earlier this year to see whether we had bought a place;
• your ability to do the job on short notice;
• the quality of the report.

In relation to the last point, your report is very clearly set out and easy to read - particularly good for a lay person like me. I would have no hesitation recommending you to others and should also let you know that the real estate agent was very impressed with you.

Kind regards
Tom and Dawn

Thank you for your fully comprehensive report. It gives me confidence that the property I wish to purchase has been thoroughly investigated and reported, so that I am able to make an informed decision on the quality of construction and workmanship and therefore, have sound information and expectation prior to purchase. I wouldn't hesitate to use your inspection service again to provide peace of mind.

We were very happy with the residential building inspection performed for us by Phil Tuttle in April 2007. Phil was extremely efficient and conducted himself professionally. The report itself was detailed and highlighted both immediate concerns and small problems that may require future maintenance. It was thorough and easy to read. We would have no hesitation in requesting Phil's services again in the future should we require them and can highly recommend Cornerstone Property Inspection Services.

Cheers
