The local picture
Mandurah is south of Perth on the Peel Inlet. Homes, canal-front properties and residential land are common security.
Mandurah is linked to Perth by the Kwinana Freeway and rail line, and many owners commute. Canal-front homes may carry waterway management obligations or levies, and some estates have restrictive covenants. Titles are recorded with Landgate. Ask for any covenant or memorial noted on the title and check how the lender's valuer treats waterfront property.
