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 Daglish reads an interwar or early post-war home at seventy to a hundred years old in one of Perth's most construction-era-uniform suburbs. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and in Daglish the pre-purchase read is the most age-concentrated in this coverage area: every home in the suburb was built in the same historical window, which means the wet-area condition at its full age, the jarrah subfloor framing at its full age, and the timber pest read on a home of this character are all primary pre-purchase priorities without exception.
The wet-area condition at seventy to a hundred years is the first pre-purchase priority. In a suburb where every home is in this age range, the question is not whether the waterproofing has aged but how it has aged and what the accumulated deferred maintenance over seven to ten decades of ownership changes looks like in the tiles, the surfaces and the substrate. The pre-purchase inspection gives you that read before exchange.
The jarrah subfloor framing at this age — where original subfloor framing exists — is the second priority. Combined with the timber pest read on mature gardens with established tree root systems, the Daglish subfloor inspection is one of the most thorough pest-context reads we give in the inner suburbs. The combined building and pest inspection is strongly recommended in Daglish. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby Subiaco and Wembley.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 reading an interwar or early post-war home at seventy to a hundred years in one of Perth's most age-uniform suburbs — where the wet-area condition and the jarrah subfloor read are primary pre-purchase priorities without exception.
No — but the combined building and pest inspection is strongly recommended in Daglish given the age of the original jarrah framing and the mature garden character.
Not whether the waterproofing has aged — it universally has — but how it has aged and what accumulated deferred maintenance over seven to ten decades of ownership changes looks like in the tiles, surfaces and substrate.
Where original jarrah subfloor framing exists, its condition at seventy to one hundred years is the primary structural and pest-context read. Jarrah is durable but not indestructible at this age under sustained moisture and pest pressure.
Established gardens with mature tree root systems on compact lots have been maintained for seventy to a hundred years. Root systems seeking subfloor drainage points, and the organic richness of long-tenured gardens, give termites persistently maintained access conditions.
Yes, often substantially. At seventy to a hundred years the findings are frequently significant and provide a strong factual basis for renegotiation.
Yes, among the highest in the inner suburbs for the original stock. The combined inspection is strongly recommended.
Yes. The jarrah subfloor framing at its full age is the primary structural and pest-context pre-purchase read.
