INTRODUCTION
A Property Can Look Perfect and Still Be Hiding Expensive Problems
Fresh paint, new flooring and clever styling can make almost any property look impressive during an open inspection. What matters is what sits underneath.
Movement, moisture, poor workmanship, deteriorated materials and unsafe alterations are not always obvious to an untrained eye. MPF Inspections Group helps you look beyond the presentation and understand the real condition of the property. Led by Michael Silverstein, who has worked in the building and property industry for more than 40 years, MPF brings together a team of experienced professionals committed to helping clients make better-informed property decisions.
Our approach is built around one simple question: Would we be comfortable letting our own family buy this property? We are not here to make the decision for you. We are here to give you clear, independent information so you can make that decision with confidence.

MPF INSPECTIONS
Why Choose MPF?
Detailed Photographic Reporting
Reports include photographs and written explanations so you can clearly see and understand the issues identified during the inspection.
A Team-Based Approach
MPF Inspections Group is not a one-person operation. Michael leads an experienced team that assists with inspections, client communication, reporting, bookings and the coordination of access with agents, builders, property managers and owners. This allows MPF to deliver a professional and responsive service while maintaining the standards developed over Michael’s 40-plus years in the industry.
Clear, Practical Explanations
You will not be handed a collection of technical terms and expected to interpret them yourself. The MPF team explains what was identified, why it may matter and what the practical next step could be.
More Than a Report.
A long report is not much use when you cannot understand what it means. The MPF team takes the time to explain the important findings, identify which issues may require immediate attention and put each defect into practical context. You are not simply sent a report and left to work everything out yourself.

MICHAEL AND THE MPF TEAM
More Than Four Decades of Property Experience
MPF Inspections Group is led by Michael Silverstein, a registered builder, building consultant, property developer and pool barrier inspector who has worked in the property and construction industry for more than 40 years.
Over that time, Michael has developed extensive experience across residential building, property development, construction assessment and professional inspections. Today, that knowledge supports a broader team of professionals who help MPF serve homebuyers, investors, property owners, builders and developers throughout Melbourne.
The team does more than look for visible cracks. We consider how the property was constructed, what may have caused a defect, whether the issue appears isolated or widespread and what the finding could mean for the person buying, building or owning the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I arrange a pre-purchase inspection?
Ideally, the inspection should be completed before you enter an unconditional contract.
For auction properties, the inspection should generally be arranged before auction day because auction purchases are ordinarily unconditional.
Will you tell me whether I should buy the property?
No.
That decision depends on your finances, plans, intended use of the property and tolerance for future repairs or maintenance.
Our team explains the condition of the property, identifies significant concerns and gives you clearer information to support your decision.
How quickly can an inspection be arranged?
The MPF team can often arrange inspections at short notice, depending on inspector availability and access to the property.
Tenanted properties may require additional notice before access can be provided.
Can I speak with someone after receiving the report?
Yes.
Our team is available to discuss the major findings and answer questions about the contents of your report.
Do you inspect properties throughout Melbourne?
Yes.
