INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS

Millendon’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection

Millendon is a quiet Swan Valley suburb about 25 km from the Perth CBD, with wineries such as Lamont’s, Fig Tree, Kat Gully, Olive Farm and Nelson Estate spread through it. It is named after Millendon, the property George Fletcher Moore set up in 1833 after arriving in 1830 as Western Australia’s first Advocate-General. Subdivision into large agricultural lots began in 1914, and that is why you see rural-residential blocks, older farmhouses and rambling sheds rather than tight suburban streets. There is no train or bus service here, and neighbours include Upper Swan, Henley Brook, Herne Hill and Red Hill.

The three defect categories we see most in Millendon homes are ageing farmhouse structure and timber, sheds and unapproved outbuildings, and site drainage and septic problems. Older rural houses on big blocks have often been extended over decades, and the join between old and new is where the trouble sits. Sheds, carports and granny flats appear on plenty of blocks, and not all of them were approved or built properly. Water tanks, bores, septic systems and poorly graded ground can all cause damp around footings.

A rural property means more to check than a suburban house, and repair bills are bigger when things go wrong. A registered builder inspects the house, the roof, the sheds and the ground around them, and explains what is structural and what is cosmetic. We also look closely for timber damage; our guide on what termite damage looks like shows what we find. Your report lands within 24 hours.
