INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Huntingdale’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Huntingdale sits about 20 km south-east of the Perth CBD in the City of Gosnells. The council suggested the name in 1974, after local developers had been using it as a promotional name. The suburb has two distinct housing eras. One section is 1970s homes, and in the south there was significant new construction from the 1990s onwards. Until the early 2000s there were still horticultural and chicken-farming remnants, and they were quickly being taken over by new residential developments. It’s largely a residential suburb with schools and small businesses serving local residents.
The three defect categories we see most in Huntingdale homes are ageing roofs and wet areas in 1970s homes, cracking in slabs and brickwork, and finishing defects in newer builds. The 1970s homes have roofs, bathrooms and laundries that have reached the end of their life. Slab and brick cracking shows up across both eras as the ground moves. In the newer areas we find rushed finishes, poorly sealed wet areas and gaps in tiling and trim.
The old farm land makes the block itself worth checking. We look at drainage and levels, and at old sheds and outbuildings that may have been left behind. A registered builder can see how the site was prepared and whether the house sits properly on it. You get 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 Huntingdale Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Huntingdale 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 Huntingdale’s 1970s streets, our builder-inspectors check roofs, wet areas and wall cracking, and on the 1990s and newer sections we look at finishes, drainage and how the block was prepared.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Huntingdale
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.
Huntingdale has 1970s homes with older timber, plus former horticultural and farming land with sheds and mature trees. Reticulated gardens in the newer areas keep soil damp against walls. We inspect roof voids, fences, garden beds and timber features on every job.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Huntingdale 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 Huntingdale cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Huntingdale 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.

Pricing is fixed with no travel surcharges across Huntingdale, Thornlie, Kenwick, Gosnells, Canning Vale and Southern River and the surrounding south-eastern 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 Huntingdale 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 Huntingdale?
Yes. Huntingdale has 1970s homes with aged timber, former farmland with old sheds and newer estates with reticulated gardens, and termites work in all of it. A timber pest inspection is included in our building and pest package. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Huntingdale do you cover?
We cover all of Huntingdale (6110) and the suburbs around it, including Thornlie, Kenwick, Gosnells, Canning Vale and Southern River. 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 Huntingdale?
Find out which era the home comes from. Huntingdale has 1970s streets and newer housing from the 1990s. On the older homes, check roofs and wet areas. On both, look for cracks in slabs and brickwork. Check drainage, and ask what stood on the block before, because much of the area used to be small farms. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Huntingdale. 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 former farmland matter when buying in Huntingdale?
It can. Parts of Huntingdale were horticultural and chicken-farming land until the early 2000s. Old sheds and outbuildings can be poorly built or contain asbestos-cement sheeting, and drainage and levels can vary. We check outbuildings, site drainage and any signs of movement.
