Local Knowledge That Makes a Difference

Northmead properties sit within one of two council areas depending on their location within the suburb. Most of Northmead falls under the City of Parramatta Council, while properties east of Windsor Road fall under The Hills Shire Council. Each council has its own planning certificates, rates notices and search requirements. We are familiar with both and ensure the correct searches are ordered for your specific property, saving time and avoiding delays.

We are also well-versed in the range of property types common in Northmead, including freestanding houses, duplex pairs, strata-titled townhouses and units, and what each involves from a conveyancing perspective. This local knowledge is what separates a smooth settlement from a stressful one.
