Introduction

Welcome to my guide on the cheapest Perth suburbs to buy any type of property in. We have had a massive surge of customers from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and other major cities booking in our specialised interstate building and pest inspection service. We do like to chat to our customers and it turns out people are moving to Perth in droves. The surging living costs(thanks scomo!) caused by increasing interest rates have forced many people to consider relocating from other major cities across Australia such as Sydney and Melbourne. Fortunately, Perth has plenty of affordable options for those who are looking to buy a property. Remember, before you buy, don’t forget your interstate building and pest inspection and hire a specialist interstate property lawyer/conveyancer to make sure your contract is solid.

Things to be aware of before buying in Perth

Did you know that Perth is known for its termites? Yep, seriously! Many older houses do not have sufficient termite protection and the natural ecosystem of Perth is somewhat perfect for our subterranean friends. Our building and termite inspections for interstate buyers regularly uncover termite damage and signs of termite movement. That’s why hiring a specialist interstate building inspector is so important, because we understand we are your eyes and ears on the ground. Check out what we recently uncovered in a house in Como for a customer wanting to relocate from Melbourne. As you can imagine, after seeing our inspection report, they wisely chose another property.
