Conveyancing and Property Settlements in WA
Buying or selling property in Western Australia? We handle the legal side of your settlement from start to finish, reviewing contracts, managing the paperwork and making sure title transfers cleanly. Clear advice and no surprises at settlement.
PROPERTY SETTLEMENTS IN WA
A property settlement involves reviewing the contract of sale, conducting title and property searches, and coordinating with your bank and the other party’s representative. Getting the contract checked before you sign is where problems are caught early, from finance conditions to boundary and title issues. We manage the process so settlement runs on time.
What we do
We take the stress out of settlement by handling the behind-the-scenes work, including:
Coordinating with the real estate agent, lender/broker, and the other party’s settlement agent
Preparing and checking settlement documents
Completing required searches and checks (title, rates/water/strata where applicable)
Organising Verification of Identity (VOI)
Calculating settlement adjustments so you only pay your share of rates/charges
Completing settlement (often electronically) and lodging documents so the title is transferred correctly If an issue needs legal advice, we will tell you early and recommend you speak with a solicitor.
