Pre-purchase Building Inspections in Western Australia

When making an offer on a property, it’s highly recommended your offer is made “subject to a building and pest inspection”. Other inspections may be recommended such as an electrical inspection, plumbing inspection or a pool inspection.

Timber Pest Inspection

Termites are active throughout Western Australia and they pose a real threat to homes that have any timber structures or fittings. Termite damage can be extensive and repairs to remedy the damage can be costly. You will want to be sure that there are neither; active termites near the house, existing damage caused by termites or conditions that would encourage termite activity.

Pre-Purchase Building inspections

It doesn’t matter how old or new a house is, there is always the risk that a structural defect is present. Structural defects can be caused by a range of different reasons:

In older homes, major defects are commonly caused by movement/settlement of structures, deterioration of structural members/connections, insufficient fixings or poor maintenance.

Newer homes with major defects are less common, however they can still be present due to substandard building workmanship, incorrect structural members/fixings used or movement/settlement poorly constructed site works.

Arranging a Building Inspection

If the sale of the property is made “subject to a building inspection”, many real estate agents will use the REIWA annexure to outline the conditions relating to a building inspection. Item 7.5 refers to a ‘Pre-purchase Building Inspection to be carried out as per AS 4349.1 2007.

It’s important the building inspection is carried out strictly in accordance with the Australian Standard by a registered builder. Unfortunately, some inspection companies have been found NOT carrying out building inspections as per the Australian Standard and by inspectors NOT suitably qualified. A building report not in accordance with the Australian Standard can potentially compromise the sale contract and leave you misinformed.
