Buying next to an airport or a river does not have to be a problem, as long as you know before you sign what the contract and certificates say about it. City Peak Conveyancing acts for buyers and sellers across Milperra and Condell Park, and this is our checklist for homes in this part of Bankstown.
Checklist for buying near Bankstown Airport
| What we check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Aircraft noise and airport references on the planning certificate | Noise controls can affect what you are allowed to build and how the home must be insulated |
| Height limits for buildings near the airport | A second storey or a tall extension may need extra approvals |
| Your own visit at different times of day | Flight paths and activity vary, and no document captures what it sounds like from the backyard |
| Special conditions about noise or the airport | Some contracts ask the buyer to accept known conditions with no right to object later |
Checklist for buying on the Milperra floodplain
Parts of Milperra sit low on the Georges River, and council has a dedicated flood study for the Milperra catchment.
| What we check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Flood notations on the section 10.7 planning certificate | They set the flood levels and building rules for that land |
| A building insurance quote before exchange | Premiums on flood-affected land can be much higher |
| Finance approval that is unconditional | A flood notation can affect the lender's valuation |
We explain flood notations in more detail on our Panania and Picnic Point page.

Common questions
FAQs
Can I object to aircraft noise after I buy?
Not through your purchase. The time to weigh it up is before exchange, which is why we check the certificates first.
Do you act for houses only?
We act on residential and investment property, including houses, duplexes, townhouses and apartments, anywhere in NSW. See our Bankstown page.
