Building Inspections in Perth

Tell us about the property and we'll match you with a local Perth inspector

How Perth works

We do not inspect in Perth ourselves. Our own team works in Darwin and the Top End. Tell us about the property and we will pass your enquiry to an independent local inspector who does work here. It costs you nothing, and they quote you directly — the price, the scope and the report are theirs, not ours.

Buying or selling in Perth?

Perth's sandy soils, limestone and salt-laden coastal winds produce a defect profile you won't see on the east coast. Tell us about the property and we'll pass your enquiry to an inspector who works that part of Perth.

Local Climate Considerations

Mediterranean — hot dry summers and wet winters. Strong salt-laden sea breezes along the coastal corridor, and long dry spells that move sandy and limestone-influenced ground.

Housing in Perth

Double-brick construction dominates, unusually for Australia, alongside limestone in older coastal areas and very large modern estates north and south along the coast.

Pool rules in Western Australia

In WA the local council does the checking: local governments are required to inspect private pool and spa safety barriers at least once every four years. There is no owner-initiated certificate scheme of the kind NSW and Queensland run, so the barrier's condition between council visits is on the owner.

Source: Swimming pool and spa safety barrier requirements — WA Government. Requirements change — confirm your own position with the relevant authority.

Common Issues We Identify in Perth

Our experienced inspectors know what to look for in Perth properties. Here are some common issues we frequently identify:

Salt attack and fretting in limestone and older brickwork

Corrosion of fixings and roof hardware in the coastal corridor

Footing movement on sandy and mixed soils

Reticulation and drainage faults, and their effect on footings

Termite activity — present in WA and often underestimated

Asbestos in pre-1990 construction
