Haynes’ #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Haynes is a young suburb in the City of Armadale, about 31 km south-east of the Perth CBD and 5 km west of Armadale. It was formed from Brookdale on 1 April 2008 and named after Walter and Margaret Haynes, who ran a dairy farm here before 1910. Walter went on to chair the Armadale-Kelmscott Road Board from 1938 to 1946. Through the 2010s the old rural land turned into urban subdivision, and Armadale railway station and Haynes Shopping Centre are the nearest hubs. So almost every house here is recent, built on what used to be paddocks.
The three defect categories we see most in Haynes homes are finishing defects in new builds, slab and brickwork cracking, and roof plumbing and drainage faults. Homes built since the 2010s are where we find rushed work: tiling gaps, poorly sealed wet areas, doors and windows out of adjustment and paint hiding patched plaster. Former farmland settles as the fill and topsoil consolidate, so hairline cracks in slabs and brick walls need to be sorted into harmless and structural. Roof plumbing, gutter falls and paving levels are often left half done on tight estate blocks.
With a suburb this new, buyers tend to assume nothing can be wrong. We see the opposite every week. Our registered builders check the structure, the finishes and how water leaves the block, then give you a plain-English report within 24 hours. Homes built between roughly 2017 and 2023 also need a check for Iplex plumbing.
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 Haynes Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Haynes 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 Haynes’ recent estate homes, our builder-inspectors check wet areas, roof plumbing and gutter falls, and read the slab and brickwork for early settlement movement on old paddock land.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Haynes
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.
Haynes was farmland until recently, and new landscaping, timber fencing and reticulated garden beds now sit right against the walls. Termites follow moisture, so we check garden levels, timber pergolas and roof voids.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Haynes 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 Haynes Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a building and pest inspection in Haynes cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Haynes 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 Haynes, Forrestdale, Seville Grove, Armadale, Hilbert and Brookdale and the surrounding south-eastern Armadale estate 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 Haynes 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 Haynes?
Yes. New suburbs on former farmland still have termites in the ground, and reticulated gardens and timber features bring them closer to the house. Our building and pest package covers timber pests as standard. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Haynes do you cover?
We cover all of Haynes (6112) and the suburbs around it, including Forrestdale, Seville Grove, Armadale, Hilbert and Brookdale. 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 Haynes?
Ask when the home was built, because Haynes is almost all recent stock. Check wet areas, doors and windows, and roof plumbing for finishing faults. Look for cracks in slab edges and brickwork, and see how paving and gutters shed water. If it was built around 2017 to 2023, ask about the plumbing type. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Haynes. 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 homes built in Haynes between 2017 and 2023 have Iplex plumbing?
Many Perth homes from that period do. Iplex plumbing has a known failure history, and we check for it as part of our inspection. It’s better to find out before you buy than after a pipe lets go inside a wall.
