Your Ludlow settlement, handled properly
Ludlow, in the Busselton area of WA’s South West, is a long way from our office in Myaree, roughly 180 km south. But the job is the same wherever the property is: get the paperwork right and settle on the agreed date.
You might hear the job called conveyancing, settlement or both. In WA it is done by licensed settlement agents (conveyancers) or lawyers. We are a licensed settlement agent, which means we handle the transfer and the settlement, and we point you to a lawyer when legal advice is needed.
Being regional is not a problem. Settlement in WA is done electronically and nobody has to attend, so most of the work happens by phone and email. Ring 0428 336 878 to talk about what is involved.
Why regional sales in Ludlow are not all the same
Around Ludlow you can find coastal town property, holiday homes and bigger rural blocks further out of town. That mix matters, because each kind of title brings its own paperwork.
- Older town lots that have been subdivided often have shared driveways or easements
- Large amounts moving at settlement are exactly what payment redirection scammers target, so bank details get confirmed by phone
- Units and townhouses near the water are usually strata, so the strata company’s information needs to come in early
- 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
We also handle settlements around Ludlow in Ruabon settlement agent, Forrest Beach, Wonnerup and Abba River.

What Ludlow buyers and sellers ask us
Is there a cooling-off period when I buy in Ludlow?
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 Ludlow 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.
