Choosing a settlement agent in Goomalling
Selling or buying in Goomalling? It is roughly 130 km north-east of our Myaree office, in the Wheatbelt, and like everywhere in WA the settlement starts as soon as the offer and acceptance is signed.
Settlement agents in Western Australia have to be licensed, and they work under a code of conduct set by the state. That is us. It also means we are upfront about our limits: we are not lawyers, and we will say when a question should go to one.
Everything for a Goomalling settlement can be done remotely, from the first call to confirming settlement has gone through. Ring 0428 336 878 for a chat about your property.
Goomalling property and what it means for your settlement
Goomalling sits among farmland, so the properties we settle here range from a house on a town block to rural land on multiple titles. The bigger the holding, the more there is to line up.
- Farm sales can involve several titles, all of which need to settle together
- Plant, equipment and water arrangements should be spelled out in the contract
- Townsite blocks and rural land settle differently, so we confirm which you have first
- Bank details confirmed by phone, never changed on the strength of an email
- Seller identity checks sorted well before settlement

What happens between the Goomalling contract and the keys
Settlement is not quite the end of a Goomalling sale. Afterwards the change of ownership needs to reach the council and the Water Corporation, along with the State Revenue side, so future accounts go to the right person.
We look after those notifications as part of the job and confirm with you once settlement is through, so you can collect or hand over the keys.

Goomalling settlement agent questions
I am buying a strata property in Goomalling. What is different?
Strata adds the strata company to the picture. Before you sign, the seller has to give you compulsory information about the scheme and the lot. We then request strata information and adjust the levies at settlement.
When is transfer duty paid?
Transfer duty is generally due within two months of the liability arising, and it is usually the buyer who pays. We arrange it through State Revenue Online as part of your Goomalling settlement.
The owner has died and the property was held as joint tenants. What happens?
The surviving joint tenant applies to Landgate to be registered as the owner, which is called a survivorship application. It needs a death certificate, a statutory declaration and identity verification. We can prepare and lodge it.
