Conveyancing Barwon Heads

Barwon Heads sits where the Barwon River meets Bass Strait, the old bridge on one side of town and 13th Beach down the road. It is one of the Bellarine’s most sought-after addresses, a mix of original beach cottages, renovated weekenders and serious rebuilds. Jeannette Ernst Conveyancing Professionals has done Bellarine conveyancing for more than 30 years from our Geelong and Drysdale offices.

What we see in Barwon Heads property

A large share of purchases here are holiday homes or future retirement moves, often bought by people living in Melbourne. Everything we do runs comfortably by phone and email, so distance never slows a settlement.

The village’s older cottages have usually been altered somewhere along the line. The Section 32 must disclose building permits issued in the last seven years, and where a renovation looks newer than its paperwork, we say so plainly. Overlays are also common in the older streets, and they can shape what you are able to change later.

Low-lying land near the river carries flood overlays in places, and that is exactly the sort of thing a contract review is for. It does not have to stop a purchase, but the finance and insurance conversations should happen before you sign.
