Conveyancing Highton

Highton climbs the Barrabool slopes on Geelong’s south west, from the shops at Highton Village up toward Wandana Heights, and it has been one of the city’s favourite family suburbs for decades. Jeannette Ernst Conveyancing Professionals has acted on Highton transactions across most of those decades, more than 30 years of them.

What we see in Highton property

Established Highton homes are renovators’ favourites, and it shows in the paperwork. The Section 32 must disclose building permits issued in the last seven years, and on a house that has been extended twice since the eighties we make sure the story adds up.

The hillside is the other recurring theme. Sloping blocks mean retaining walls, drainage easements and boundaries that deserve checking against the title plan, especially where terraced gardens have blurred the lines over the years.

In the newer stages toward the ridge, titles often carry covenants and design guidelines from the original development. They are usually mild, but if your plans include a second storey or a granny flat you want to read them first.
