INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Mirrabooka’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Mirrabooka sits about 12 km north of the Perth CBD and was established in 1954 as part of a bold plan for a satellite city intended to eventually house up to 60,000 people. The area originally covered what became Balga, Nollamara and a third pocket called Yirrigan, which stayed largely bushland until it was renamed Mirrabooka in 1980. From there, growth came fast: the 1980s and 90s saw that remaining bushland subdivided and built out, giving the suburb a strong run of brick veneer homes from those two decades. Mirrabooka Square shopping centre, open since 1979, and the suburb’s major bus station make it one of the busiest hubs in Perth’s northern suburbs.
The three defect categories we see most in Mirrabooka homes are tired roof coverings, weep hole and damp issues, and termite activity near retained bushland. Roofs and old plumbing on 1980s and 90s homes are now decades old and often need attention we can pinpoint from the roof void. On the brick veneer built through that era we regularly find blocked or rendered-over weep holes, which lets damp track up into the wall cavity. Because Mirrabooka was subdivided out of standing bushland, pockets of retained vegetation near reserves still give termites a foothold close to nearby homes.
Mirrabooka’s rapid growth through the 1980s and 90s means a lot of homes here are the same age, but not the same quality. Our registered builders check roof structure, brickwork and drainage against what a compliant build should look like, and get your report to you 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 Mirrabooka Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Mirrabooka 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 Mirrabooka’s 1980s and 90s brick veneer homes, our builder-inspectors check roof tie-downs, weep holes and cavity flashings closely, since these were common shortcuts on project homes built quickly during the suburb’s fast growth years.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Mirrabooka
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.
Mirrabooka was carved out of standing bushland through the 1980s and 90s, and pockets of retained vegetation near local reserves still give subterranean termites cover close to nearby homes. We check subfloors and garden-facing timber carefully on properties near these reserves.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Mirrabooka 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 Mirrabooka cost?
Our building and pest inspection in Mirrabooka 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.

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 Mirrabooka 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 Mirrabooka?
Yes. Mirrabooka was subdivided out of bushland through the 1980s and 90s, and retained vegetation near reserves still supports termite activity nearby. Our $499 + GST building and pest inspection checks for activity and damage, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Mirrabooka do you cover?
We cover all of Mirrabooka (6061) and the suburbs around it, including Girrawheen, Koondoola, Malaga, Balga, Westminster and Nollamara. 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 Mirrabooka?
Get into the roof void on 1980s and 90s homes to check tie-downs and tile or sheet condition, since these can hide damage from view. Check weep holes at the base of brick walls for blockages from render, paving or garden beds. Ask whether the block backs onto reserve bushland, which raises termite risk. Check drainage and fall away from the house, particularly on older brick veneer builds from the suburb’s growth years. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Mirrabooka. 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.
Mirrabooka was meant to be a much bigger satellite city. Does that history affect home buying here today?
It explains why so much of the suburb was built quickly through the 1980s and 90s once the old Yirrigan bushland was subdivided in 1980. That rapid, uniform construction means many homes share the same era-specific shortcuts, from weep holes to roof tie-downs. Our registered builders know exactly what to check on a project home from this period, so you’re not relying on a fresh coat of paint to judge the build.
