INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Marangaroo’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Marangaroo sits about 18 km north of the Perth CBD in the City of Wanneroo, its name an Aboriginal word meaning ‘place of blue flowers’. Most of the suburb’s core infrastructure dates from the 1980s, with Marangaroo Primary School opening in 1987 and Rawlinson Primary following in 2003 as later pockets filled in. The Marangaroo Golf Course and Marangaroo Family Centre are the suburb’s main landmarks, and housing sits between Kingsley, Madeley, Landsdale, Greenwood, Alexander Heights, Warwick, Girrawheen and Koondoola, making it one of the more centrally connected suburbs in this part of Wanneroo.
The three defect categories we see most in Marangaroo homes are ageing roof and guttering, plumbing and wet area wear, and termite risk near the golf course. Homes from the 1980s are now approaching forty years old, and original roofing and guttering has usually had at least one repair, not always done properly. Plumbing and wet area waterproofing from this era is well past its intended service life, and we regularly find it failing behind a renovated bathroom. Properties backing onto the Marangaroo Golf Course sit close to maintained turf and garden beds that keep the soil moist, giving termites an easy route toward the house.
A suburb this established has plenty going for it, but forty years of ownership changes and small renovations can hide real problems behind a tidy presentation. Our registered builders know what to check on a home this age, with your report ready 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 Marangaroo Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Marangaroo 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 Marangaroo’s 1980s-era homes, our builder-inspectors check roof and guttering condition, plumbing and wet areas against what a home this age should have, and look closely at properties backing onto the golf course.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Marangaroo
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.
Marangaroo’s golf course frontage and established gardens across the suburb keep the ground moist and give termites plenty of cover close to the house. We check subfloors, roof timbers and garden beds against the walls on every inspection.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Marangaroo 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 Marangaroo cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Marangaroo 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 Marangaroo, Kingsley, Madeley, Landsdale, Greenwood, Alexander Heights and Girrawheen and the surrounding established northern 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 Marangaroo 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 Marangaroo?
Yes. Marangaroo’s established gardens and golf course frontage create good conditions for subterranean termites, and our $499 + GST building and pest inspection checks the house and any timber structures for activity or damage. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Marangaroo do you cover?
We cover all of Marangaroo (6064) and the suburbs around it, including Kingsley, Madeley, Landsdale, Greenwood, Alexander Heights and Girrawheen. We inspect right across the North Metro & Northern Beaches 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 Marangaroo?
Check the roof and guttering for past repairs and general condition, since most of the suburb’s stock is now approaching forty years old. Ask about the age of plumbing and wet area waterproofing. If the property backs onto the golf course, look closely for termite activity along that boundary. And check render and brickwork for age-related cracking. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Marangaroo. 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.
My Marangaroo property backs onto the golf course. Does that change what I should check?
Golf course frontage generally means well-watered turf and garden beds right at your boundary, which raises termite risk more than it would on a standard block. It’s also worth checking fencing and boundary treatments, since golf courses can mean stray balls and additional wear on rear fences. Our inspectors will check for termite activity along that boundary as part of the standard inspection.
