I recently hired John Markham from Jim’s Building Inspections Marrickville, for a property i wish to purchase and I am absolutely thrilled with his service. John is a true professional of the highest caliber. He was incredibly thorough in his assessment of the property, leaving absolutely no stone unturned. Afterwards, he sat down and gave me a complete, detailed rundown of everything I needed to know, explaining complex issues perfectly. Beyond his obvious expertise, John was exceptionally easy to deal with. He was approachable, honest, and highly communicative from start to finish. If you need a reliable inspector, I cannot recommend John highly enough.
