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.
Keysbrook is where the Serpentine River has calmed down. Above Serpentine, the river descends the national park escarpment at Serpentine Falls; here it has broadened into the flat agricultural corridor of its middle reaches, slowing, depositing alluvial clay-loam, and supporting the orchards and farms that have worked this ground for generations. The pre-purchase building inspection here is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and the Keysbrook read reflects that middle-reach character: a productive agricultural alluvial plain with the river as the dominant moisture and pest site context for the nearest lots, and the farming soil history in the clay beneath all of them.
\n\nRiver-adjacent lots carry the permanent Serpentine River moisture as the dominant pre-purchase termite site factor — the combined building and pest inspection is recommended for those lots. For all Keysbrook properties, the alluvial clay-loam movement at the specific construction age is the structural read, and the farming lot complexity — horse infrastructure, outbuildings, cultivation drainage — is the site read. The alluvial clay enriched by decades of agricultural use holds more moisture and provides richer termite food-chain conditions than a cleared residential block on the same parent clay. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby Serpentine and Jarrahdale.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 on the Serpentine River agricultural corridor, where river proximity, alluvial clay movement and farming lot complexity are the pre-purchase factors.
No — but the combined inspection is recommended for river-adjacent lots given the permanent Serpentine River moisture.
Permanent Serpentine River watercourse moisture and riparian vegetation — the dominant termite site factor for river-adjacent lots, year-round.
Serpentine River alluvial clay-loam reactive movement accumulated at the specific age of the home — the structural priority for all Keysbrook lots.
Outbuildings, horse infrastructure and cultivation drainage on larger Keysbrook properties are read as part of the whole-site pre-purchase assessment.
Yes. Cultivation and organic enrichment on actively farmed clay-loam lots elevates subfloor moisture and termite food-chain conditions above a cleared residential subdivision on the same parent clay.
Yes. River proximity context and alluvial clay movement findings give you a factual basis.
Yes. Serpentine River moisture and agricultural organic soil on river-adjacent lots. The combined inspection is recommended.
Yes. Alluvial clay movement and river moisture in the subfloor are primary pre-purchase reads.
