Independent Advice

An opinion you can actually trust

Whether you're buying, selling, renovating, or building new, getting the right advice before you commit can save you tens of thousands of dollars, and a lot of stress. As an independent advisor, I have no stake in the outcome, so what I tell you is what I'd tell a mate: straight, honest, and based on what's actually in front of me.

Where I can help

Pre-purchase advice

Before you commit to buying a house, land, or a development opportunity, I'll walk the property with you and give you an honest read on its condition, what work it may need, and whether the price stacks up against the reality of what you're buying.

Building or renovating

Thinking about a new build or a renovation? I'll help you understand what's actually feasible, what it's likely to cost, and where the risks are, before you're locked into a design, a contract, or a builder.

Poor workmanship from other trades

If you suspect work carried out by another tradesperson isn't up to standard, I can assess it independently and give you a clear picture of what's wrong, what it'll take to put right, and your options moving forward.

Preparing a home for market

If you're planning to sell, I can advise on which repairs or improvements are worth doing before listing, and which aren't, so you spend money where it'll actually add value, not where it won't.

Making sense of building reports

Building reports and inspections are often full of technical language that's hard to interpret. Whether you're the purchaser trying to understand what you're taking on, or the vendor responding to issues raised, I'll go through the report with you and explain, in plain terms, what actually matters and what doesn't.

Consent or CCC issues

If you're dealing with unconsented work, a missing Code Compliance Certificate, or council raising questions about an existing build, I can help you understand exactly where things stand and what your options are. Whether it's working out what's needed to get compliance sorted, or getting a clear picture before you buy a property with an outstanding issue, I'll walk you through it in plain terms.
