What we check on Fern Bay property
Every contract gets a full review. These are the local items we look at closely in Fern Bay and Fullerton Cove.
PFAS management area
Parts of Fullerton Cove, Williamtown and Salt Ash are inside the NSW EPA’s Williamtown PFAS management area. We check whether the property is affected and explain what that means for bore water use and resale.
New estates
Fern Bay has newer estates with building covenants and design rules. We check the covenants, the plan and any community or strata scheme before you commit.
Coastal and flood notations
Low lying land near the river and the coast can carry flood or coastal notations on the section 10.7 certificate. We explain what they mean for building and insurance.
Bushfire prone land
Properties near the dunes and bushland may be mapped as bushfire prone, which adds requirements for new building work and can affect insurance.

For sellers, we can usually have your contract ready within a few business days of receiving your instructions.

As early as possible. Buyers should have the contract reviewed before exchanging. Sellers need a contract prepared before the property can go on the market. Our buying questions answered and selling questions answered guides walk you through each step.
