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.
San Remo is the quieter, more sheltered end of the Halls Head peninsula — south of Silver Sands, facing the Peel Inlet rather than the open Indian Ocean, with the Mandurah Estuary water in front and the suburb's 1980s-1990s residential character behind. A pre-purchase building inspection here is building scope only, to AS 4349.1, and the San Remo pre-purchase is shaped by that sheltered inlet orientation: the Peel Inlet estuarine moisture at the foreshore boundary is the dominant site factor for inlet-adjacent lots, the 25-to-40-year estate age under the wetter Mandurah rainfall is the building factor across all lots, and the combination of those two — inlet moisture acting on older building fabric under a wetter climate than the northern coastal plain — is what distinguishes a San Remo pre-purchase from a standard outer suburban estate read.
\n\nInlet-adjacent lots earn the combined building and pest inspection recommendation — the estuarine foreshore vegetation and tidal moisture give those lots year-round elevated termite conditions that the interior streets do not carry. For all San Remo lots, the wet-area waterproofing at 25 to 40 years under Mandurah's higher rainfall is the first building priority. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby Silver Sands and Madora Bay.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 reading a 1980s-1990s home on the southern Halls Head peninsula where the Peel Inlet boundary and the 25-to-40-year estate age under the higher Mandurah rainfall are the pre-purchase priorities.
No — but the combined inspection is especially recommended for inlet-adjacent lots.
Tidal estuarine moisture and foreshore vegetation give inlet-adjacent lots year-round elevated termite conditions. The combined inspection is especially recommended for those lots.
Wet-area waterproofing at or approaching service life under the wetter Mandurah coastal conditions, tile mortar at the replacement window, and original timber windows at their Mandurah coastal weathering age.
Yes. Building envelope materials at 25 to 40 years here have been under more moisture pressure than equivalent northern coastal homes, and the pre-purchase assessment accounts for that.
Yes. The inlet context and age-specific condition findings give you a factual basis.
Yes, for inlet-adjacent lots. The combined inspection is especially recommended.
Yes. Subfloor conditions on the Halls Head peninsula coastal sandplain are part of the pre-purchase read.
Within 24 hours of the inspection.
San Remo faces the calmer Peel Inlet rather than the direct Indian Ocean of Silver Sands' western streets. The pre-purchase context is the inlet estuarine boundary rather than the open-ocean western exposure.
Also available as a combined building and timber pest inspection in San Remo — both scopes in one visit to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, one report within 24 hours.
