INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
North Perth’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
North Perth is one of Perth’s classic inner-city suburbs, built out mainly from the early 1900s in solid brick, and it’s an era of construction that’s held up well enough that plenty of homes are still being renovated for modern living rather than knocked down. The heritage-listed North Perth Town Hall anchors the suburb’s civic character, while North Perth Primary School, established in 1899, was the state’s largest primary school by 1921. Beatty Park Leisure Centre, built as the aquatic venue for the 1962 Perth Commonwealth Games, remains a major community facility on Vincent Street, and the Rosemount Hotel and a strip of small shops and cafes give the suburb its social hub.
The three defect categories we see most in North Perth homes are ageing roof structures on early 1900s brick homes, asbestos-cement materials, and renovation quality in older solid brick housing. Original homes carry roof framing now well over a century old, and we regularly find asbestos-cement sheeting in additions from the mid-1900s. Because so much of North Perth’s stock is being actively renovated for contemporary living, we see a wide range of workmanship in recent extensions, from properly engineered upgrades to cosmetic quick-fixes over older solid brick walls.
A solid brick North Perth home from the early 1900s can carry both genuine durability and a century of hidden repairs. Our registered builders separate the two clearly, with your report ready within 24 hours to act on before your conditions run out.
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 North Perth Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every North Perth 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 North Perth’s solid brick, early 1900s homes, our builder-inspectors check century-old roof framing and any asbestos-cement materials in later additions, and we assess recent renovations against the original brickwork so you know which upgrades were done properly.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection North Perth
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.
North Perth’s older timber roof framing, established street trees and inner-city gardens all give subterranean termites plenty of cover. We check roof voids, subfloors and garden beds against the walls on every inspection here.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your North Perth 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 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 North Perth 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 North Perth?
Yes. North Perth’s original homes date to the early 1900s, with century-old timber roof framing and mature gardens close to the walls. Our $499 + GST building and pest inspection covers the whole property for termite activity, with your report within 24 hours. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around North Perth do you cover?
We cover all of North Perth (6006) and the suburbs around it, including Leederville, Mount Hawthorn, Highgate, Mount Lawley, Coolbinia and Menora. We inspect right across the Central Perth & Inner Suburbs 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 North Perth?
Check the roof framing on any original solid brick home, since North Perth’s oldest stock is now well over a century old. Treat older additions as possible asbestos until confirmed. Given how actively the suburb is being renovated, compare recent extension quality against the original brickwork, and ask what’s been done and when. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in North Perth. 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.
I'm buying a renovated North Perth home. How do I know the renovation was done properly?
North Perth’s solid brick homes are popular renovation projects, and quality varies a lot between a properly engineered upgrade and a cosmetic finish over older, untouched structure. Our registered builders check the renovation against the original brickwork and roof framing, so you know whether you’re paying for genuine improvement or just fresh paint over the same old problems.
