INSPECTIONS BY REGISTERED BUILDERS
Willetton’s #1 Rated Building and Pest Inspection
Willetton sits about 12 km south of the Perth CBD, on flat sandy coastal plain that was once open banksia woodland with paperbark trees around shallow seasonal swamps. It was built in phases. The first subdivision in the early 1970s was marketed as Burrendah Heights, the eastern section followed in the 1980s, and most of the rest was finished in the 1990s. Nearly every home is a detached house on its own block, across more than six thousand residential properties. Southlands Boulevarde, Willetton Senior High School, the sports centre and Riverton Leisureplex anchor the suburb.
The three defect categories we see most in Willetton homes are cracking in slabs and brickwork, drainage and moisture problems, and ageing roofs and wet areas. Sandy soil settles unevenly, so cracks appear in slab edges, walls and paving. The old swamp ground means water can sit and move through the site, so we check drainage, gutters and damp at wall bases. Homes from the 1970s and 80s have roofs and bathrooms that are due for repair.
Willetton spans three decades of building, and each has its own quirks. A 1970s home needs a different check to a 1990s one, and a registered builder knows the differences. We inspect the roof, structure and any renovations, then give you a written 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 Willetton Building & Pest Inspection
Comprehensive Pre Purchase Building Inspections
Every Willetton 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 Willetton’s 1970s to 90s brick homes, our builder-inspectors check slab and wall cracking, drainage around the house, roof condition and wet areas that have not been updated.
Compliant with AS 4349.1–2007.
Termite & Pest Inspection Willetton
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.
Willetton has mature street trees, established reticulated gardens and homes across three decades of timber framing. Termites thrive where soil stays moist against walls. We check roof voids, fences, garden beds and timber features on every job.
Compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.3–2010.
Detailed Photo Report
Your Willetton 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 Willetton 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 Willetton?
Yes. Willetton has established gardens, mature trees and homes from the 1970s onwards, and termites are common across the southern suburbs. A timber pest inspection is included in our building and pest package. See what termite damage looks like.
Which suburbs around Willetton do you cover?
We cover all of Willetton (6155) and the suburbs around it, including Rossmoyne, Riverton, Ferndale, Bull Creek, Parkwood and Leeming. 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 Willetton?
Check for cracks in slab edges, brick walls and paving first. Look at drainage and gutters, because the old swampy ground holds water. Inspect the roof and wet areas, especially on 1970s and 80s homes. Ask which era the home comes from, since Willetton was built in stages. Our checklist of what to check before buying covers the rest.
I’m building a new home in Willetton. 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 Willetton's swampy history affect houses today?
It can. The area was open woodland with shallow seasonal swamps on flat sandy ground, so water can sit on some blocks and drain slowly. We check drainage, downpipe connections, damp at wall bases and slab movement to see how the site has behaved.
