Getting your Buntine property settled
Buntine is in the Wheatbelt, within the Dalwallinu area and roughly 240 km north of our Myaree office. Regional settlements are a normal part of our work, and the whole process can be run without a trip to Perth.
A quick bit of WA background: here the people who handle conveyancing are licensed settlement agents (also known as conveyancers) or lawyers. Jacaranda Settlements is a licensed settlement agent. Where your situation calls for legal advice, we will recommend you get it rather than guess.
You do not need to be near Perth for this. WA settlements happen electronically, and the work can be handled by phone and email. Call 0428 336 878 to talk it through.
Reading the title on a Buntine property
Buntine 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.
- 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
- Title searched and any issues raised early, not the week before settlement
- Rates, water and any strata levies adjusted so each side pays only their share
Other nearby towns we cover include Wubin settlement agent, Maya, Miamoon and Latham.
Inside a Buntine conveyancing file
Property settlements are a target for payment redirection scams, where someone hacks or copies an email account and sends you new bank details. On a Buntine sale or purchase, the rule is simple: confirm any bank details by calling a number you already know, never one in the email.
We will never change our bank details by email. If you get a message that says otherwise, ring us on 6266 6961 before you do anything.

Common questions about Buntine settlements
What are adjustments?
Rates, water and strata levies are often paid ahead. At settlement they are split so the seller pays up to the settlement date and the buyer pays from then on. It is all set out in your settlement statement.
I am buying a strata property in Buntine. 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 Buntine settlement.
