Independent inspection to AS 4349.1 by a registered building contractor. What you are buying, read by someone who has built. Report within 24 hours.
A pre-purchase building inspection in Bateman reads a 1970s or early 1980s home on deep coastal sand in the City of Melville's southern corridor, at the age where the original service-life components have reached their threshold simultaneously across the estate. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and the Bateman pre-purchase read is straightforward in its priorities: wet-area waterproofing at or past forty-to-fifty years is the first check; tile roof mortar at the ridge-and-verge replacement window is the second; and the park-adjacent termite context on eastern boundary blocks is the site read that varies by position.
The waterproofing read is the pre-purchase priority at this age. A 1977 Bateman shower recess membrane in continuous use for nearly fifty years is either still performing because it was well-installed, or it has been failing behind the tiles for years with no visible surface indication. The pre-purchase inspection is the only way to determine which situation you are buying into.
Eastern blocks adjacent to the Canning River Regional Park carry the park-boundary termite context that applies across Leeming and Bateman. We note that in the pre-purchase report alongside the age-specific building conditions. The report follows within 24 hours.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 that reads the 1970s-to-early-1980s estate structure before you buy, where wet-area waterproofing at its service-life threshold and tile roof mortar condition are the primary pre-purchase priorities.
No, building scope only. The combined inspection covers both in one visit.
A 1977 shower membrane at fifty years is either still performing or has been failing invisibly for years. The pre-purchase inspection determines which — it cannot be inferred from the surface appearance.
Ridge and verge mortar from the 1970s at its replacement window. We assess mortar condition, tile fixing and sarking integrity.
Eastern Bateman blocks backing the Canning River Regional Park carry elevated termite risk from the native vegetation boundary. We note that context in the pre-purchase report.
Yes. Waterproofing failure at this age is a concrete, photo-documented finding that gives you a strong factual basis for renegotiation.
Yes. The combined inspection covers timber pest. Pre-purchase notes conditions but does not constitute a pest check.
Yes. Subfloor conditions and site drainage management at forty to fifty years on coastal sand are part of the pre-purchase read.
Within 24 hours of the inspection.
Flat coastal sand requires deliberate surface drainage management. Forty to fifty winters of perimeter drainage performance show in subfloor moisture and wall base conditions.
Also available as a combined building and timber pest inspection in Bateman — both scopes in one visit to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, one report within 24 hours.
