Why Mount Eliza Buyers and Sellers Trust Us
Joanne and I don’t just work in Mount Eliza—we live here.
Our children attended local schools, and I am an alumnus of Mount Eliza High School. We’ve walked these footpaths, attended local events, and have been part of the community for decades.
We understand Mount Eliza’s character. We also understand the legal intricacies that come with buying property in this part of the Mornington Peninsula:
Septic systems and wastewater compliance in older homes
Restrictive covenants in established subdivisions (notably Ranelagh Estate)
Bushfire Management Overlays (BMO) near treed zones and creek lines
Drainage constraints on corner lots and sloping blocks
View corridor disputes in elevated areas off Tower Road and Canadian Bay Road
Private road or battle-axe driveway arrangements with ambiguous title easements
We've reviewed numerous Mount Eliza contracts and have identified issues that others often overlook.
What Makes Mount Eliza Conveyancing Unique?
Mount Eliza is one of the oldest and most desirable suburbs on the Peninsula. With that comes a unique mix of:
Established titles (some with covenants dating back to the 1940s)
Infill subdivisions, often with shared driveways or sewer connection easements
Planning rules that restrict second dwellings or dual occupancy, even on large blocks
Tree protection and vegetation overlays, particularly in the older leafy streets
We’ve acted in matters where:
Buyers were misled into believing the block could be subdivided—but it was zoned Neighbourhood Residential with strict overlays
Extensions were built without permits, voiding home insurance and causing lender delays
Driveways used for years turned out to sit over private easements with no legal access
Septic systems failed post-settlement, leading to major repair costs
These aren’t edge cases—they’re common. That’s why your contract must be reviewed properly, by someone who knows how Mount Eliza works.
Selling in Mount Eliza?
If you're selling, we will prepare your Section 32 Vendor Statement properly.
That means:
Full disclosure of covenants, overlays, and septic systems
Checking title boundaries, easements, and fencing disputes
Verifying permit history and council records
Avoiding contract fall-over by giving buyers the confidence that their conveyancer won’t find issues you didn’t flag
We also review your draft contract to ensure the standard conditions are fair, the special conditions are enforceable, and that early deposit release (Section 27) is structured correctly, without giving buyers the right to withhold.
