Como Building Inspections
Como is an established suburb bound to the west by the Canning and Swan Rivers. The Como area saw significant development in the 1950s and 1960s, with many of the heritage homes still standing in the area today.
The Canning Bridge Activity Centre Plan has seen the rezoning of land for development in Como and surrounding precincts, including the Canning Bridge Station on both sides of the Canning River.
With the announcement of the Canning Bridge Precinct, there have been significant new developments in Como, including several highrise development proposals with Swan River views on Clydesdale, Robert and Henley Streets. The Activity Centre Plan aims to create a vibrant community in Como and surrounding suburbs, with a central transport hub at Canning Bridge station.

Common Problems with Como Homes
Como is a well established suburb, with many homes built in the 1950s. It is also within a close proximity to the Swan River, which brings with it some unique challenges. Our experienced Como home building inspectors know what to look for. Some of the Como home inspection issues to look out for include:
- Older homes in Como, built prior to the 1990s, were often built using asbestos. It was commonly used in home building due to its fire resistant properties. However, in recent years, it has been linked to serious medical conditions including mesothelioma, as inhaling the asbestos fibres can be toxic. Our building inspectors will check your Como home for and outside fences and dwellings for any evidence of asbestos.
- It’s important to also check older homes for any outdated or defective electrical work.
- Older homes were built using a lot of timber, with the termite treatments performed many years ago. It’s important to check all major home structures in Como for termite activity and ensure you regularly treat these to avoid termite damage.
- Common pests found in Como, due to the close proximity to the river, include rats, possums and snakes. Our home inspections can help identify any problem areas and our pests inspectors can combat these pests through our professional pest control treatments.
