Local Knowledge Makes the Difference

Mornington is a diverse and tightly zoned township. From the old quarters around Barkly Street and Tanti Creek to modern townhouses near Bentons Square, property here is rarely straightforward.

Joanne and I have been working on Mornington titles since 2001. We’ve reviewed contracts for properties on cliff edges, down narrow lanes, near medical precincts, and across creeks and flood zones. We know the overlays, the covenants, and where buyers need to proceed carefully.

We’ve lived just minutes from Main Street for over 20 years, and we understand Mornington’s rhythm—its tight planning controls, its heritage areas, and the title inconsistencies that can trip up even experienced buyers.

What We Review in Every Mornington Contract

• Heritage Overlays – Common around the township precinct and older streets

• Drainage and Flood Risks – Especially near Tanti Creek and older subdivisions

• Covenants – Restrictions on development, subdivision, fencing and façade

• Non-compliant works – Pergolas, carports or garages added without permits

• Driveway and service access – Many titles carry old shared rights or encroachments

• Fire overlays – Especially in treed areas east of the highway

We’ve stopped clients buying on the basis of subdividable land when the slope made it unbuildable. We’ve picked up flood overlays that insurance brokers missed. And we’ve helped dozens of sellers avoid costly rescissions by tightening up their vendor disclosure before contracts went out.

Selling Property in Mornington?

We prepare your Section 32 properly. That means:
