Bedfordale’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Bedfordale is a semi-rural hills suburb in the City of Armadale, about 34 km south-east of the Perth CBD and 6 km from Armadale itself. It was first designated a townsite in 1905, and it still feels more Darling Range than suburb. Churchman Brook Dam and Wungong Dam sit close by, and people come to hike and ride through the bush. The Elizabethan Village, with its replicas of Anne Hathaway’s cottage and Shakespeare’s Birthplace built in the 1970s, is the landmark everyone knows. Homes here are a mix of older hills houses and semi-rural properties, many of them on sloping ground.
The three defect categories we see most in Bedfordale homes are retaining wall and slope problems, bushfire-related construction issues, and timber decay and termite activity. Sloping blocks mean cut and fill, and we regularly find retaining walls leaning, weeping or built without proper drainage. Bushland on your doorstep means the home needs to suit its bushfire rating, so we check eaves, vents, decking and cladding for materials and gaps that don’t stack up. Timber near bush, garden beds and sheds gives termites and rot an easy run, especially in older hills homes with decks and pergolas.
Hills properties hide problems that a quick walk-through never finds. Underfloor and roof voids, retaining walls, outbuildings and drainage all need a builder’s eye, and on acreage there is often a lot more to inspect than the house itself. Our inspectors go through every accessible part of the property and give you a plain-English report 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 Bedfordale Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Bedfordale 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 Bedfordale’s hills properties, our builder-inspectors check retaining walls, drainage and slab or footing movement on sloping blocks, then move to decks, eaves and outbuildings that sit close to the bush.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Bedfordale
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.
Bedfordale sits in Darling Range bushland with mature trees, timber decks, fence lines and garden beds close to the house, all of which suit termites. We check roof voids, subfloors and any timber touching the ground.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Bedfordale 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 Bedfordale cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Bedfordale 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.

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 Bedfordale 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 Bedfordale?
Yes. Bedfordale homes back onto bush and mature trees, and termites and timber decay thrive in that setting. Our building and pest inspection covers the house and accessible outbuildings, so you know what you are buying. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Bedfordale do you cover?
We cover all of Bedfordale (6112) and the suburbs around it, including Mount Nasura, Roleystone, Mount Richon, Byford, Ashendon and Karrakup. We inspect right across the South East & Canning 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 Bedfordale?
Start with the slope. Look at retaining walls for leaning, cracking and drainage, and check how water leaves the block. Ask about the home’s bushfire rating and look at eaves, vents and decking. Check sheds, bores and outbuildings as well as the house, since larger properties can carry hidden repair bills. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Bedfordale. 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.
Does bushfire-prone land in Bedfordale affect my building inspection?
Yes. Bedfordale sits in Darling Range bushland, and much of the area is bushfire-prone. That can affect what you are allowed to build or renovate, and it changes what we look at, including eaves, vents, cladding and decking. We flag anything that looks out of step with the home’s setting so you can raise it before you buy.
