Westminster Building Inspections
Westminister is located in the City of Stirling, bordered by Mirrabooka, Nollamara, Balcatta and Balga. Located about 12 =km north of Perth, Westminster was formerly the southern part of Balga. After a petition by residents, it was renamed in 1994. The name Westminster was the name of the original settlement.
Being a well-established area close to the city, there is excellent public transport and amenities in the suburb
You will typically find single-story domestic homes built in Westminster during the 1950s. These timber houses were constructed by the State Housing Commission to address housing shortages.
From the 1960s, private developers began to buy land in Westminster and builder brick homes, with the area reaching capacity in the 1970s.
In the past 30 years, there has also been a rise in the subdivision of blocks to make way for townhouses and multiple-unit dwellings. This is due to the close proximity to the city of Perth and the excellent amenities available in Westminster.

Common Problems with Westminster Homes
Our knowledge and experience in the building inspection industry have allowed us to learn about the many areas of Perth. When it comes to Westminster, we know many homes have had the following problems more often:
- With many new duplexes being built in the area, many issues can arise from shared roofing and walls not being up to code and industry standards. Before purchasing a duplex or unit, have an experienced property inspector check shared structural walls and roofing prior to purchase.
- For older homes build in the 1950s, general wear has caused many issues with wall and ceiling cracks which should be repaired prior to purchasing a property. If you book a comprehensive building inspection, these will be noted in the building report.
