Local property context
Glen Waverley homes, history and renovation patterns
Glen Waverley changed from orchard and farming land into a major post-war suburb. Successive subdivisions created broad areas of detached housing, while redevelopment around transport, shopping and school precincts has added townhouses and larger replacement homes.
Many properties began as mid-century or later brick-veneer houses and have since received new kitchens, wet areas, open-plan alterations or substantial additions. Other sites have been rebuilt, leaving garages, decks or landscape structures from a different period of work.
Internal reconfiguration is a frequent local renovation pattern. When walls, openings, stairs or upper levels were changed, the declared scope should describe those structural and layout changes rather than listing only the finished rooms.
What can be included in the inspection?
We inspect the owner-builder work you tell us about. You can select more than one renovation area and, where relevant, tell us how many bathrooms or bedrooms were involved.
Local inspection scope
What to identify before requesting the report
- State whether walls were removed or openings widened when a kitchen and living area were combined.
- For multi-level additions, identify new stairs, balconies, roofing and altered external walls as part of the project.
- Separate renovation work to the original house from any later garage, deck or detached studio work.

Frequently asked questions
137B reports in Glen Waverley
Do all Glen Waverley property sales need a Section 137B report?
No. The requirement depends on whether relevant owner-builder domestic building work was completed and when it was completed. If you are unsure, use the scope checker or ask the conveyancer preparing the sale documents.
Does the Glen Waverley 137B inspection cover the whole house?
The report focuses on the owner-builder work disclosed for the sale. It is not automatically a pre-purchase building and pest inspection of every original part of the property.
What Glen Waverley renovations are commonly included?
Common scopes include kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, open-plan wall alterations, rear or upper-floor additions, garages, decks, roofing and window changes. The exact scope comes from the work you declare.
