Jan Juc sits just across Spring Creek from Torquay, sharing its 3228 postcode, with Jan Juc beach and Bird Rock at the bottom of the hill and Bells Beach a few minutes down the road. It is quieter and bushier than Torquay, and buyers tend to know exactly why they want to be there. Jeannette Ernst Conveyancing Professionals has handled conveyancing from Geelong for more than 30 years, under licence number 001780L, and everything runs by phone and email so you never need to come in.

What we see in Jan Juc property

Most of Jan Juc was built from the 1970s to the 1990s, timber and brick homes on generous, often sloping blocks with plenty of native vegetation. That vegetation is the point of the place, and it is also why so much of the suburb sits inside a Bushfire Management Overlay and vegetation protection controls. The Section 32 must disclose them, and they change what you can clear, what standard any extension is built to, and what your insurer asks. We read the overlays on every Jan Juc contract and tell you plainly what they mean for your plans.

Rebuilds and big renovations are common on the older blocks. Where a home has had work in the last seven years, the vendor statement has to disclose the building permits, and we check the paperwork against what is actually there. Sloping land also brings easements for drainage and the odd shared driveway, and both need reading before you sign rather than after.

Plenty of Jan Juc homes are weekenders. If you plan to let yours out, the contract review is where we flag the short stay levy on bookings under 28 days and any forward bookings or letting agreement being sold with the house.
