Eden Hill’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Eden Hill sits about 13 km north-east of the Perth CBD in the Town of Bassendean, a small, quiet pocket between Bassendean and Morley. Its name may trace back to a farm or estate used in an 1892 subdivision by Henry Brockman, but the suburb itself wasn’t formally approved until 1954, which puts most of its housing squarely in the post-war era. That makes Eden Hill a suburb of modest brick and tile homes built for young families, set around reserves like Jubilee Reserve and Mary Crescent Reserve, with the Alf Faulkner community centre and the local primary school as its social anchors.
The three defect categories we see most in Eden Hill homes are asbestos-cement materials, ageing wiring and plumbing, and timber pest damage in established gardens. Homes from the 1950s and 60s building boom commonly used asbestos-cement sheeting in eaves, fencing and wet areas, which needs testing before any renovation work starts. Original electrical and plumbing services from that era are now well past their working life in plenty of homes, and we flag anything that looks original rather than replaced. Seventy years of mature gardens and reticulation around these blocks also give timber pests a long run at roof timbers and subfloors, so termite damage often turns up in older, untouched sections of the house.
Eden Hill doesn’t get the attention its bigger neighbours do, but that also means plenty of original 1950s and 60s homes here haven’t had a proper structural check in decades. Our registered builders know exactly what to expect from a build of this age, and you’ll have the full picture 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 Eden Hill Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Eden Hill 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 Eden Hill’s 1950s and 60s brick and tile homes, our builder-inspectors check original wiring, plumbing and roof framing against what’s actually been updated, since original services are common in a suburb this settled.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Eden Hill
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.
Eden Hill’s established gardens and older homes, many with original subfloor timbers, give termites decades of undisturbed opportunity. We check subfloors, roof timbers and garden-facing walls closely, especially where reticulation keeps garden beds against the house damp.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Eden Hill 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.

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 Eden Hill 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 Eden Hill?
Yes. Eden Hill’s post-war homes are now 60 to 70 years old, with established gardens and original timber that termites can exploit undisturbed. Our $499 + GST building and pest inspection covers subfloors and roof timbers, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Eden Hill do you cover?
We cover all of Eden Hill (6054) and the suburbs around it, including Bassendean, Ashfield, Lockridge and Kiara. We inspect right across the Central Perth & Inner Suburbs 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 Eden Hill?
Given Eden Hill’s post-war housing stock, ask directly whether the wiring and plumbing are original or have been updated. Check eaves, fencing and any old sheds for asbestos-cement sheeting before assuming they’re safe. Look at the garden beds hard against the walls, since decades of reticulation there is exactly where termites and damp take hold. Get a proper look at the roof void too, since original 1950s and 60s framing rarely gets checked. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Eden Hill. 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.
I'm buying an original, unrenovated home in Eden Hill. What should I expect?
Plenty of Eden Hill’s housing stock dates to the post-war building boom after the suburb was approved in 1954, and an unrenovated home from that era usually still has its original wiring, plumbing and roof coverings. That’s not automatically a problem, but it does mean budgeting for updates most buyers don’t think about upfront. Our registered builders will tell you what’s original, what’s been done properly, and what needs attention first.
