Hacketts Gully houses, units and land

Hacketts Gully is hills country, so think larger lots, rural-residential properties and the odd property spread across more than one title. None of that is a problem, it just means there is more to check.

  • Sheds, tanks and outbuildings should be clearly covered in the contract
  • Some properties sit across more than one lot or title, which means more documents to line up
  • It pays to have building inspections and insurance quotes sorted before your finance goes unconditional
  • Lodgement with Landgate through electronic settlement
  • Regular updates so you are not left wondering where things are at
