Conveyancing Fyansford

Fyansford sits at the junction of the Barwon and Moorabool rivers on Geelong’s western edge, an old mill village that has grown a whole new suburb on the hill behind it. Buying here now usually means one of two very different things: a piece of the historic village or a new townhouse or lot in the estate. Jeannette Ernst Conveyancing Professionals has practised Geelong conveyancing for more than 30 years.

Either way, send us the contract and Section 32 before you sign. The review is free, takes less than 24 hours, and leaves you free to go wherever you like afterwards.

What we see in Fyansford property

In the new estate, contracts come with the modern package: design guidelines, title covenants, sometimes an owners corporation for shared lanes or landscaping. None of it is unusual, but it binds you after settlement, so we read it with you before you sign.

Around the old village and the mill precinct, heritage matters. Controls on older fabric can shape renovations and additions, and older titles can carry easements and rights that predate the estate by a century. We check what the planning certificate and the title actually say rather than assuming.

Townhouse buyers should look hard at the owners corporation certificate in the Section 32: the fees, the maintenance fund, any special levies coming. Two minutes with that certificate now beats a surprise levy later.
