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 Leeming reads a 1970s or early 1980s home on deep coastal sand, where the primary site variable is position relative to the Canning River Regional Park on the eastern boundary. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and the pre-purchase read has two distinct profiles: for park-adjacent eastern blocks, the termite conditions from the native vegetation boundary are the site context alongside the standard 1970s age read; for western blocks, the age read alone defines the pre-purchase priorities.
The 1970s age read applies throughout. At forty to fifty years, original wet-area waterproofing is at or past its first service life and the tile roof mortar is at its replacement window. On deep coastal sand, there is less clay movement to contend with, but the site drainage management over forty winters on a flat substrate is the ground-specific read that clay-movement is on reactive sites.
For park-adjacent blocks, the regional park vegetation boundary is the pre-purchase termite context we note explicitly. The native bush maintained to the lot boundary on the eastern streets provides the conditions that elevate the pest risk on those blocks above the suburb average. The report follows within 24 hours.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 that reads the 1970s estate structure before you buy, where position relative to the Canning River Regional Park determines whether the termite context is the primary site concern.
No, building scope only. The combined inspection covers both in one visit — and for park-adjacent eastern blocks, the combined inspection is especially recommended.
Wet-area waterproofing at or past first service life, tile roof mortar at the replacement window, and original timber windows and sliding doors at forty to fifty years of coastal plain weathering.
Native vegetation maintained to the lot boundary on the eastern streets provides the termite food source, moisture and direct colony access that elevates those blocks above the suburb average.
On flat deep coastal sand, site drainage management over forty winters — perimeter grading, downpipe termination, subfloor ventilation — is the ground-specific read that reactive clay movement is on clay sites.
Yes. The age-specific condition findings give you a factual basis for renegotiation.
Yes, especially for park-adjacent blocks. The combined inspection covers timber pest. Pre-purchase notes conditions but does not constitute a pest check.
Yes. Subfloor moisture and ventilation on a flat sand site at forty to fifty years are part of the pre-purchase read.
Within 24 hours of the inspection.
The eastern blocks carry the Canning River Regional Park vegetation boundary as an active termite site context. Western blocks carry the standard suburban termite risk profile for a 1970s estate with established gardens.
Also available as a combined building and timber pest inspection in Leeming — both scopes in one visit to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, one report within 24 hours.
