I had a great experience with Dominic from Access Property Services. He conducted a thorough building report for a villa I was interested in purchasing, providing clear, detailed insights that helped me make an informed decision. His professionalism and prompt service were outstanding. Highly recommend!

I can't recommend Dominic highly enough. Without hesitation, he came to my assistance when my cat Minnie went missing in Summer Hill. His keen observation was put to the test in trying to identify Minnie in a lineup of photos and videos of other felines. Based on a lead, he ruled out a similar looking cat that was living in a nearby demolition site. He also used his powerful torch and building inspection skills to crawl under houses to try and locate my cat. After a week and a half, I am pleased to say that - due in a large part to his efforts - my cat was found alive albeit skinny and thirsty. Thank you Dom, you are a lifesaver!

I was thoroughly impressed with so many aspects of the service I received including : Dominic's level of attention to detail; his outstanding communication skills; his honesty, integrity and level of enthusiasm for his work. He has to be the best building inspector I have dealt with in the last thirty years. I have no hesitation in recommending Dominic if you want piece of mind when purchasing a property. The cost of a building inspection is well worth the price, as in my case it helped save me hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs. Dominic is a warrior who protects the interests of his clients.

Thanks very much, Marianna I'm happy to have been of service and saved you from a very bad property choice! I've not come across such a substantially defective property in quite sometime. The fact that the RE agents / vendor so actively attempted to conceal the defects , which, as you know would have been of very considerable cost and highly intrusive (not to mention the lack of power or a bathroom), is disgraceful and in my professional opinion, NSW Fair Trading should be taking action against these sorts of shonkies together with the agent nominated 'tame' cheap and often commercially, conflicted Buildng /pest inspection reports that are so common now! Let's find you a far more worthy house 👍

Really honest and upfront and very thorough building inspector. Articulates things quite well and has excellent attention to detail. More than fair prices and is honestly very underrated and value for money. Definately be referring him to others.

https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/towers-of-trouble-20181228-p50ol6.html Thank you, Ronan given that you have a pretty sound knowledge/ experience with similar multi unit res builds and construction, your comments are particularly appreciated as I do my best to give maximum value to my clients. Your "underrated and value for money" comments speak volumes to me, especially when I think of some of my competitors. Given your seeming disbelief about the certification process I thought I'd share this story that I bought to the SMH, which you can share with your real estate mother.

We were lucky enough to engage Dominic to inspect our elderly relative’s long neglected, beloved old terrace to discover all we could, before we renovate to sell. Dominic’s expertly professional, astoundingly generous and thorough service was way above and beyond any building inspection I have ever encountered. Not only was his clear and concise report and decades of experience of enormous value to us, he is also genuinely one of the loveliest fellas you could meet. Even after the inspection was complete, and the very reasonable invoice paid, Dominic continued to advise us on tradies to contact and possible options we could pursue in order to keep the integrity of the beautiful old Victorian girl, whilst still keeping budget and time constraints in mind. I truly cannot recommend Access Property Services highly enough!

I found Dominic on the web and thought I I get his advise … oh boy I am so glad I found him !! He gave me great advise , picked up some serious issues that I couldnt see . He saved me from 2 big mistakes and headaches I could have had . I loved his professionalism and his manner and felt very comfortable talking with him . I highly recommend Dominic and to my family and friends any day. His experience in theses matters is fantastic!!

Thanks Kyllie In my long experience I'm not sure I've ever come across such unethically written strata inspection reports and the advice offered to you by your agent/s Dodged two bullets I me thinks ! Look forward to working with you to source and purchase a property

Dominic went above and beyond in order to provide an excellent professional service. Not having purchased a strata property before, I found his advice and expertise invaluable, including in regard to the 230 page strata report! He provided a detailed and comprehensive pre-purchase building report and also provided advice on the findings from the pest inspection. It was a pleasure to deal with a professional who clearly cares about his job and his clients.

Thank you Jen. I tried my best to get your purchase over the line for the right reasons Best wishes for your purchase and if as offered I can be of further help with your OC don't neglect to reach out? All the best with your new property!

Many inspectors restrict their inspection to the apartment itself but Dominic went beyond and reviewed my strata report and inspected the common areas of the building. He has specific knowledge of multi-unit buildings and strata in general. Dominic communicated with me following each stage, clearly and concisely so that any concerns I had were alleviated. Thanks,
Reply from Access Property Services 2024.03.13
Thank you JA I think your buildings common areas were the largest I have ever inspected but definitely worthwhile doing as often times I pick up issues that the OC are not aware of including for example structural steel rusting right out the front of your building mangers office All the best with the purchase

After months of investigating options to assist in prioritising the many maintenance and upgrade tasks required around my home, I found Dominic! Professional and efficient, within minutes of arriving Dominic was telling me what was important to rectify before I had already pulled out my list. The jobs I have completed so far have been completed by Dominic recommended trades people. He doesn't just recommend, he helps them to understand the work required, checks quotes and the finished result. He supports both the trades and his clients. It is great to be part of such a collaboration and definitely less stressful than going it alone.

Hi SL Thank you for your vote of confidence "Before you pulled out your list" indeed! Happy to have assisted in developing your prioritized repairs (with your informed understanding/consent ) rather than a wish list and reduce the stress! All the best with your improvements. If you need any further advice I'm only a phone call away ? Cheers Dominic

Like everyone else, I had a great experience with Access Property Services. Dominic did a pre purchase inspection of an Art Deco apartment I was hoping to buy. Thankfully, he rated it 8.5/10! Dominic keeps it real, is honest, and is super responsive (even at odd hours of the day!) He also has a good sense of humour! His report is comprehensive, and includes photos with notes on works/ repairs needed. He will recommend tradesmen, where needed. If you require this service, you will not be disappointed with Dominic btw .. check out his bio! Amazing!

Thanks Dom for fitting me in at short notice, wrangling with the real estate to get access to the property so you could do the inspection, talking me through issues and providing a thorough report. Steered me in the right direction in a couple of areas. Appreciate your no nonsense approach and thoughtful respect of my particular circumstances. Highly recommended!

Thank you Marni its a solid unit property with lots of potential and the OC appear to be responsible and now they will need to be even more so :) Fingers crossed for your auction

It was great to have Dominic's assistance to undertake a building inspection of our home prior to putting it on the market. It was a comfort to know there were no major concerns that might reduce the value of the sale or give a prospective buyer a bargaining chip down the road. It also gave us an opportunity to decide which minor fixups we wanted to address ahead of selling. Look no further for all your building consult needs!

Dominic at APBI empowered us with an incredible amount of detailed information to understand the issues and potential repair costs of a property we were considering on purchasing. He has a friendly and no nonsense approach and we feel lucky to have had his expertise and calm logic during a stressful time. Thank you Dominic!
Reply from Access Property Services 2024.01.17
Thank you both it was my pleasure to assist you I have only more recently chosen to send inspection photos to clients first and then have a detailed discussion around them (before completing written report) as I feel they get a much clearer understanding of the gravity of faults or lack thereof and can make a more informed decision knowing also I have suggested very experienced remedial contractors should they be needed

Dominic recently assisted us with our new home purchase. He is very experienced and knowledgeable. He was also was extremely responsive and was able to inspect our property as short notice. His report was very thorough and he gave us an honest appraisal of the home. His recommendations helped us greatly with our negotiations. We would not hesitate to recommend Dominic to anyone looking for a professional building inspector.

Dominic is a highly experienced professional inspector, who knows the building industry inside out. He altered his schedule for me to do an inspection on an apartment very quickly so that I could make an offer and take it off the market. His report was thorough, and he was able to give me a good summary of the overall state of the construction quality. The process of buying an apartment in a bigger building is very stressful, I was almost tearing my hair out after reading the 685 page strata report and trying to decipher whether any of the faults listed were minor or major. I didn't want to make a big mistake and regret it in 10 years time. Luckily Dominic was able to give me his expert opinion in record time and I was able to have peace of mind that I'm buying a good property. I can't recommend Dominic and Access Property Services highly enough.

Dominic inspected an old Victorian property for us in Summer Hill and pointed out some rising damp issues with the house which made us reassess whether we should put an offer in for the house. My partner and I have no building experience so we wouldn't have noticed many of the issues Dominic mentioned regarding the house. He saved us tens of thousands in repairs and a lot of heartache! He was very thorough, personable, and timely. Definitely would recommend!
Reply from Access Property Services 2022.06.22
Thank you Jocelyn The vendors went out of their way to actively conceal the substantial rising damp using hydro epoxy undercoat. This damp could only be determined with a pin resistance type moisture meter that I use, which penetrates through the paint layers to the salt laden damp render. Alternative surface pad type meters do not. Lets hope for a more honest vendor on the next house.
