INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Greenmount’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Greenmount sits on the edge of the Darling Scarp about 25 km northeast of the Perth CBD in the Shire of Mundaring, at the point where the Swan Coastal Plain meets the hills. Ensign Robert Dale climbed the hill back in 1829, and by the 1840s the York Road through here was known as York Greenmount. A convict depot went up on the slopes in 1854, followed by a government bluestone quarry in the 1870s, and the heritage-listed Undercliffe estate was built in 1902 in the Federation Queen Anne style before later serving as a convalescent home. Housing today runs to character homes on larger, leafy blocks, with the hill itself still largely bushland and three old quarry sites nearby.
The three defect categories we see most in Greenmount homes are ageing roof structures, asbestos-cement materials, and sloping block drainage. With plenty of character homes from the early 1900s through to the post-war decades, original roof framing and tiled roofs often show their age, and asbestos-cement sheeting commonly turns up in eaves, sheds and older additions. Sitting right on the scarp edge, many blocks need proper stormwater and drainage management, and we check retaining walls and fall away from the house closely.
A character home on the edge of the hills needs a builder’s read on both its age and its slope. Our registered builders check the roof, the walls and how the block drains, then hand you a clear 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 Greenmount Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Greenmount 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 Greenmount’s character homes near the scarp edge, our builder-inspectors get into the roof void to check original framing and tiling, then follow the fall of the block to see where stormwater is actually going.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Greenmount
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.
Greenmount’s mix of older character homes, established gardens and bushland reserve give termites steady cover across the suburb. We check roof timbers, subfloors and garden-facing walls closely on every job.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Greenmount 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 Greenmount cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Greenmount 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. For buyers who want the most thorough inspection available, our Advanced Building & Pest Inspection is $799 + GST. Pricing is fixed with no travel surcharges across Greenmount, Midvale, Swan View, Hovea, Darlington and Bellevue and the surrounding Perth Hills gateway 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 Greenmount 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 Greenmount?
Yes. Greenmount’s older housing stock, from Federation-era homes through to post-war cottages, combined with leafy established gardens, gives termites plenty of opportunity. Our $499 + GST building and pest inspection covers timber pests, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Greenmount do you cover?
We cover all of Greenmount (6056) and the suburbs around it, including Midvale, Swan View, Hovea, Darlington and Bellevue. We inspect right across the Hills & Eastern 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 Greenmount?
Start with the roof, since original framing and ageing tiles are common on Greenmount’s older character homes. Check the brickwork and drainage low on the walls, particularly on blocks that slope toward the scarp edge. Ask what’s been added or renovated and when, because older extensions can carry asbestos-cement sheeting. Have a builder check the subfloor for termite activity as well, given the suburb’s established gardens. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Greenmount. 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 Greenmount have heritage-listed places, and what does that mean for an older home here?
Greenmount Hill is listed on the Shire of Mundaring’s Municipal Inventory for its historic and scientific significance, and the 1902 Undercliffe estate, later a convalescent home, is also heritage-listed. That history shows how much of the suburb dates back over a century. If you’re planning renovations to an older home, check the Shire’s heritage listings first, then get our registered builders to tell you what the existing structure can realistically support.
