“We are elated to finally find a house after searching for over 5 months. Surety’s inspection on this property helped us to know what we should pay for it and that it was worth going for. Thanks so much for everything. We are absolutely just so impressed with your service, assistance and quality of reports and the time everyone has taken to work with us.”

“Surety Property offers the highest level of service. The inspection people are professional, knowledgeable and credible. Surety is thorough, very transparent and independent in reporting defects. I used Surety after reading a Facebook review for the practical completion defect report, and got them back for the 90 Day maintenance liability period. I was very impressed with the service, communications and evidence-based report. I would highly recommend Surety Property for building and construction inspections throughout any part of the lifecycle of a build or renovation.”
