Need a settlement agent in Gairdner?
Gairdner is in the Jerramungup area of the Great Southern, roughly 380 km south-east of our Myaree office. We are a Perth-based settlement agent, and we settle properties right across WA, so a Gairdner sale or purchase is something we can take on from start to finish.
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 Gairdner. The settlement is electronic and the paperwork can be sorted by phone, email and post. Call 0428 336 878 to discuss.
Gairdner titles, blocks and everything in between
Around Gairdner a property sale might be a townsite home, a vacant lot or a farm. Each settles differently, so the first job is confirming exactly what is being sold and on which titles.
- 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
- Farm sales can involve several titles, all of which need to settle together
- Strata information requested as soon as the contract is signed
- Title searched and any issues raised early, not the week before settlement

Your Gairdner settlement questions answered
Is there a cooling-off period when I buy in Gairdner?
Generally, no. Once a WA property contract is signed there is no cooling-off period unless one has been added as a special condition, so be sure before you sign.
Can you give me legal advice about my contract?
We are settlement agents, not lawyers. If your Gairdner contract raises something that needs legal advice, we will tell you and recommend you speak to a lawyer.
Who chooses the settlement agent?
You do. Buyers and sellers are each entitled to appoint a settlement agent or lawyer of their choice, and to change at any time. You do not have to use the one suggested by the real estate agent.
Is settling a regional Gairdner property any different?
The steps are the same as anywhere in WA. The main difference is that we work by phone and email, and if the land is held under something other than ordinary freehold, we check that first.
