The team from Dedant was fantastic.- I was able to book 2 working days from my enquiry- The team was extremely responsive and reliable- The report was prepared and sent the very same day of the inspection-Scott, my Inspector, was on time (even 15 mins early!), extremely friendly and helpful. He even provided me his opinion and advice on the phone following the Inspection, which was incredibly valuable and led to helping me negotiate a reduction in the purchase price for necessary repairs.Highly recommend.Thank you for your comprehensive report and assistance Scott and everyone from Dedant.Emily

I used DedAnt for pre purchase building and pest inspection. They were quick to provide a quote and promptly arranged an inspection with the Real Estate Agent. I received the report on the same day the inspection was conducted. They were also happy for me to discuss the findings with the building inspector, which I did. I would use DedAnt again in the future if I ever need building and pest inspections.

Arranging the Pest and Building Inspection was easy and very professionally transacted. They organised access with the Real Estate Agent and I was able to pay through their direct email link. I was kept fully updated at all times prior to the inspection and I was most impressed with the friendly and helpful manner of the Inspector. He was very thorough and showed me exactly what he was looking at and explained his findings as he went through the house. I needed the written report within hours of the inspection and this was emailed to me no problem a few hours later. I am very happy with the service and would happily recommend this company to others.

Had Dedant recently complete a building and pest inspection on a property i was looking to purchase. I was recommended them through a buyers agency who have a very good team of advisers. The report was completed on time and was very thorough, outlining all defects with the property. I was able to use this report to negotiate some repairs of the property prior to settlement, which saved me in excess of what the report was worth. Highly recommend Dedant and will be using them again in the future.

Craig Cruzin

00:26 17 Oct 20

Dedant did a very thorough inspection. Had some difficulty getting in touch with the guy who actually performed the inspection but he did call back and run through it with me. Im sure would be much better if I was able to be there in person but being interstate at the time and only the report to go off does make it seem like the house is ready for demolition lol. But at least they pointed everything out so would use them again but try and be there.

Susan Taylor

04:44 16 Oct 20

We chose DedAnt for our pre-purchase building inspection, they are great company to deal with. We had several questions, they helped us through the process and gave us suggestions regarding future building maintenance. Thank you DedAnt.

When buying a house or apartment with impending deadlines it is so important to get someone responsive and prompt who does it right the first time. Dedant was onto it from the word go. Turn around was extremely quick, and the reporting was easy to read and thorough. 6 stars if I could give an extra.It was an excellent price, and even if it was more expensive, I'd still be happy to go with them knowing the quality of work.Keep it up!

I used Dedant Building and Pest Inspections after my solicitor recommended them for a pre-purchase inspection. I'm so glad I used them, Natalie and Rob were extremely helpful through the whole process. Natalie was very professional and took care of the booking and contacted the real estate on my behalf. Natalie took the time to explain the process and make sure I understood what was included and what to expect. The report was extremely thorough with some good recommendations. I wanted clarifications for some areas of the report, so called the inspector Rob. Rob was so nice and took the time to explain everything to me and answer my questions. Overall he was a top bloke!Their pricing was also very fair. Would definitely recommend this business and their services.
