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 Silver Sands reads a 1980s-to-1990s home on the Halls Head peninsula between the Indian Ocean and the Peel Inlet, where which water boundary the specific lot faces is the first pre-purchase question — because the weathering context on the ocean-facing western lots and the estuarine moisture context on the inlet-facing eastern lots produce materially different pre-purchase reads at the same construction age. The inspection is building scope only, to AS 4349.1.
For ocean-facing lots: the external material condition under direct Indian Ocean westerly exposure is the first pre-purchase priority — paint, fixings and seals on the ocean-facing elevation at the specific construction age. For inlet-facing lots: the Peel Inlet estuarine boundary is the dominant termite site factor, and the combined building and pest inspection is especially recommended. For all Silver Sands lots at 25 to 40-plus years: the wet-area condition under the higher Mandurah rainfall, the tile mortar, and the original timber windows at their peninsular coastal weathering age. The report follows within 24 hours.
We run the same inspection across the area, including nearby San Remo and Madora Bay.

A building inspection to AS 4349.1 where which water boundary the lot faces — Indian Ocean west or Peel Inlet east — is the first pre-purchase question, followed by the 25-to-40-plus-year estate age read under the higher Mandurah rainfall.
No — but the combined inspection is especially recommended for inlet-facing eastern lots given the Peel Inlet estuarine boundary.
External material condition under direct Indian Ocean westerly exposure is the first priority for ocean-facing lots — the combined salt-air, UV and westerly wind loading accelerates ageing beyond the sheltered coastal rate.
Peel Inlet tidal estuarine moisture and foreshore vegetation are the dominant termite site factor for eastern lots. The combined inspection is especially recommended.
Wet-area waterproofing under the higher Mandurah rainfall, tile mortar at or past the replacement window at the oldest end, and original timber windows at their peninsular weathering age.
Yes. The lot-position site context and age-specific findings give you a factual pre-purchase basis.
Yes, for inlet-facing eastern lots. The combined inspection is especially recommended there.
Yes. Subfloor conditions on the Halls Head peninsula at this age are part of the pre-purchase read.
Within 24 hours of the inspection.
Yes. The Mandurah coastal plain receives more annual rainfall than the northern coastal plain. Building envelope materials at this age have been under more moisture pressure than equivalent northern coastal equivalents.
Also available as a combined building and timber pest inspection in Silver Sands — both scopes in one visit to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, one report within 24 hours.
