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 Hillman reads a compact 1960s or 1970s home at fifty to sixty years on the southern coastal plain, in a small Rockingham suburb where the age of the building and the mature street tree canopy are the two defining pre-purchase factors. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and the Hillman pre-purchase read is principally an age-specific read: the wet-area condition across decades of use, the roof at its full age on a southern coastal site, and the street-tree root read on the narrower Hillman lots.
The wet-area condition at fifty to sixty years is the first priority. At this age, original 1960s wet-area installations — where formally installed at all under the standards of the era — have been in continuous use for the full possible service life. The pre-purchase inspection determines the current condition and the remediation scope before exchange.
The mature street tree root read is specific to Hillman's compact lot and tree canopy character. Trees planted along Hillman's narrower streets at construction are now fifty-plus years old with root systems that seek moisture at adjacent slab edges and drainage lines. We read those specific lots for the root intrusion concern alongside the standard age reads. Asbestos in outbuildings is noted throughout. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby Cooloongup and Rockingham.

At this age, original 1960s wet-area installations have been in continuous use for the full possible service life. The pre-purchase inspection determines whether they have failed and the remediation scope.
Trees planted at construction are now fifty-plus years old with mature root systems seeking moisture at slab edges and drainage lines on the narrower Hillman lots. We read those lots for root intrusion alongside the standard age reads.
Yes. 1960s outbuildings commonly incorporate asbestos cement sheeting. Noted throughout the pre-purchase report.
Southern Rockingham foreshore proximity means salt-air weathering on external elevations is noted as a weathering context in the pre-purchase report.
Yes. At fifty to sixty years, the findings are frequently substantial and provide a strong basis for renegotiation.
