From signed contract to settled in Welbungin
Welbungin is part of the Mount Marshall area in the Wheatbelt. We are based in Myaree, roughly 250 km away, and we look after regional settlements like this one without you ever needing to visit.
In WA the person running your settlement is usually a licensed settlement agent, also called a conveyancer, or a lawyer. We are the former. We prepare and check the settlement documents, handle the figures and lodge with Landgate, and if anything needs legal advice we will recommend you get it.
You do not need to visit us from Welbungin. The settlement is electronic and the paperwork can be sorted by phone, email and post. Call 0428 336 878 to discuss.
Regional Welbungin property, explained
The Mount Marshall area is farming country, with townsite blocks in the middle and larger rural holdings around them. Farm sales can involve several titles at once, plus plant, equipment and water arrangements that need spelling out in the contract.
- Townsite blocks and rural land settle differently, so we confirm which you have first
- Zoning and land use are questions for the shire, best asked before you sign
- Get your accountant involved early on any farm sale with tax questions
- Regular updates so you are not left wondering where things are at
- Bank details confirmed by phone, never changed on the strength of an email

How a Welbungin settlement runs
One of the first things we do on any Welbungin file is search the title. It tells us who the registered owner is and what else is recorded against the land, such as a mortgage, caveat, easement or notification.
Most of it is routine. When it is not, finding out in week one rather than the week before settlement gives everyone time to deal with it.

Your Welbungin settlement questions answered
I am buying vacant land off the plan in Welbungin. When does it settle?
Off-the-plan land can only settle after its certificate of title is issued. Check the sunset clause in your contract, and make sure your deposit is held in a trust account.
Someone emailed new bank details for my settlement. What should I do?
Stop and call. Confirm the details using a phone number you already know, not one in the email. We never change our bank details by email.
Will I get a quote before I commit?
Yes. Settlement agents must give you a written costs disclosure before they are appointed. Request a quote and we will set it out for your Welbungin property.
Do I need to come to Perth to sign anything?
No. For a Welbungin property we send you the documents and talk you through them by phone. Settlement itself is electronic, so nobody needs to attend.
