Champion Lakes’ #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Champion Lakes is one of the youngest suburbs in the City of Armadale, about 22 km from the Perth CBD and 7 km from Armadale. It was created as its own suburb in 2002, split from Camillo and named after the planned Champion Lakes Regatta Centre, the rowing and water recreation facility that gives the suburb its identity. The lakes and open space set the tone, with newer homes on modern estate blocks and bus routes linking Armadale and Kelmscott stations.
The three defect categories we see most in Champion Lakes homes are finishing defects in newer builds, slab and brickwork cracking, and drainage problems near water and low ground. Homes built since the early 2000s are where we find the rushed jobs: tiling gaps, poorly sealed wet areas, doors that stick and roof plumbing left half done. The soils across this part of the Swan Coastal Plain move as they settle, so hairline cracks in slabs and face brick need sorting into harmless and structural. With lakes and low-lying ground nearby, we look hard at levels, paving falls and downpipe connections.
A newer home near the water photographs beautifully and can hide plenty. Our registered builders look at how water leaves the block, how the slab has settled and how well the home was finished, then give you a plain-English report within 24 hours. For homes still under builder warranty, we help you build a defect list while the builder is still on the hook.
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 Champion Lakes Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Champion Lakes 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 Champion Lakes’ newer estate homes, our builder-inspectors work through wet area finishes, roof plumbing, paving falls and site drainage, and check how the slab has settled.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Champion Lakes
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.
Champion Lakes has reticulated gardens, new landscaping and reserves close to homes, which keep soil damp against walls. We check garden bed levels, timber decking and roof void framing on every job.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Champion Lakes 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 Champion Lakes cost?

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 Champion Lakes 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 Champion Lakes?
Yes. Newer homes are not immune, and Champion Lakes has reticulated gardens and green space right up to the walls. A pest inspection is included in our building and pest package. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Champion Lakes do you cover?
We cover all of Champion Lakes (6111) and the suburbs around it, including Camillo, Seville Grove, Southern River, Gosnells, Martin and Forrestdale. 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 Champion Lakes?
Check how water moves around the block, especially near the lake and reserves. Look at slab edges and brickwork for cracks. Test doors, windows and wet areas for finishing faults, and check roof plumbing and paving falls. Ask when the home was built and whether builder warranty still applies. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Champion Lakes. 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.
Is it worth inspecting a new build in Champion Lakes before handover?
Yes. Newer suburbs like Champion Lakes have builder defects that only show up under a builder’s eye. A practical completion inspection lets you list every fault before you accept the keys, so the builder fixes it on their bill. We check finishes, waterproofing, roof plumbing and drainage.
