INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Baskerville’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Baskerville is a narrow strip of Swan Valley land, about 800 m north to south and 7.5 km east to west, following a curve of the Swan River. William Tanner named the area in 1831, and Walter Padbury had a homestead built here in 1886. After World War I the government subdivided the valley into soldier resettlement lots of about 10 to 50 acres, and migrants from Yugoslavia and Italy later built up the vineyards. Today you find family-run wineries, cellar doors, the hall and oval on Memorial Avenue, and a small patch of native forest to the east. It is about 31 km from the Perth CBD.
The three defect categories we see most in Baskerville homes are ageing rural sheds and outbuildings, bushfire and vegetation exposure, and moisture and termite damage in older timber. Many properties carry sheds, workshops and old farm buildings that have been patched for decades, and the roofing and footings often need work. Large lots close to bush and vineyards need clear asset protection zones and sound roof and eave detail. Older homes from the resettlement era have timber floors, and river flats and irrigated gardens keep moisture close to the structure.
A rural property is really several buildings, and each one can carry a problem. A registered builder assesses the house, sheds, verandahs and any add-ons, and tells you which were approved and which look like weekend fixes. Read what to check in a house before buying for the basics. Your report lands within 24 hours.
The difference with WA Building Inspections is simple: our inspectors are licensed registered builders (BP104751). Real Builders. Better Inspections. That’s why over 30,000 Perth home buyers have trusted us.
What’s Included in Your Baskerville Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Baskerville inspection is carried out by a licensed registered builder (BP104751), not a generalist with a checklist. We physically access roof voids, subfloors and external structures wherever it’s safe to do so, and we inspect against the building code our inspectors have spent their careers working under. On Baskerville’s rural and vineyard properties, our builder-inspectors go beyond the house to the sheds, verandahs and add-ons, and check roof, eave and vegetation detail for bushfire exposure.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Baskerville
A full timber pest inspection is included with every combined booking, not bolted on as an upsell. We check for active subterranean termite activity, evidence of past activity, termite conducive conditions, failed or expired chemical barriers, and wood borer activity across the property, fencing and outbuildings.
Baskerville has irrigated gardens, vines, mature trees and the Swan River close by, all of which keep moisture around timber. Older homes and farm buildings on large lots are prime targets for termites and borers, so we probe them all.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Baskerville report lands in your inbox within 24 hours of the inspection. It’s not a generic template. Every defect we identify is photographed, captioned and explained in plain English with the relevant Australian Standard or NCC clause cited where applicable. You’ll see exactly what the issue is, why it matters, and what it’s likely to cost to remediate. We also include a follow-up consultation call so you can walk through the findings with your inspector before any negotiation or settlement decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a building and pest inspection in Baskerville cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Baskerville is $499 + GST, fixed price, and it saves $99 + GST (approximately 16.6%) compared to booking the two separately, based on a 4×2 home.

Pricing is fixed with no travel surcharges across Baskerville, Belhus, Brigadoon, Henley Brook, Gidgegannup, Millendon and Red Hill and the surrounding Swan Valley semi-rural suburbs.
What does a building and pest inspection cover?
Our inspectors inspect more than your average inspector. How? We are qualified registered builders, so we go where the others won’t and we detect what the others can’t. Read more about what a full building and pest inspection covers.
How long does a building inspection in Baskerville take?
Most inspections take 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size, age and access of the home. Older homes, bigger blocks and homes with extensions or outbuildings take longer, because we inspect all of it. Your detailed photo report arrives within 24 hours.
Do I need a termite inspection in Baskerville?
Yes. Baskerville’s large lots, mature trees and irrigated grounds suit termites, and older homes and farm buildings often have exposed timber. The timber pest inspection is included in our building and pest package. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Baskerville do you cover?
We cover all of Baskerville (6056) and the suburbs around it, including Belhus, Brigadoon, Henley Brook, Gidgegannup, Millendon and Red Hill. We inspect right across the Swan Valley & North East and the rest of Perth.
Is a building inspection required when buying property in Western Australia?
It isn’t a legal requirement, but Consumer Protection WA recommends making your offer subject to a building inspection. Without one, you buy the home as it is. Make sure your contract includes a building inspection clause, and book the inspection within 2 to 3 business days of your offer being accepted so you have time to act on the report.
What should I look for when buying a home in Baskerville?
Look at every building on the lot, not just the house. Check sheds and outbuildings for approvals, rust and footing problems. Check the roof, gutters and eaves and the vegetation close to the house. Ask about the water supply, septic system and any bore or pump on site. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Baskerville. Do you offer new construction inspections?
Yes. We inspect new homes at every stage, from the slab through to handover. See our guide to construction stage inspections in WA, and use our PCI checklist before you take the keys. It’s far cheaper to have the builder fix defects before you move in than after.
Can you negotiate the price after a building and pest inspection?
Yes. A detailed report with photos and plain-English explanations gives you solid evidence to renegotiate the price or ask the seller to fix defects before settlement. Talk to your settlement agent early, because your building inspection condition has a deadline.
What makes WA Building Inspections different?
Our inspectors are licensed registered builders (BP104751). Real Builders. Better Inspections. We know how a home should have been built, not just how it looks, and we inspect to AS 4349.1 with a full timber pest inspection to AS 4349.3. Every report arrives within 24 hours, with a follow-up call to walk you through it.
Do Baskerville properties have bushfire and shed issues?
Many do. Baskerville sits in the Swan Valley with native forest, vineyards and large lots, so bushfire exposure and clearance around the house matter. Sheds and old outbuildings also need to be checked for condition and approvals. We check the house and outbuildings and tell you what to sort before you commit.
