Buying an established home in Riverstone NSW

Riverstone is not only its growth estates. The suburb has a station on the Richmond branch line, a meatworks history running from 1878 to 1992, and streets of housing that predate every estate named on this site. Around seventy houses change hands in a quarter at a median near $1.15 million, and the properties at either end of that range are very different buildings. On an older home the questions are movement, drainage, roof plumbing and whether past work was done under permit. On a near new one they are whether the original defect list was ever closed out.
