A settlement agent for Peak Hill buyers and sellers
Selling or buying in Peak Hill? It sits in the Meekatharra area, roughly 810 km north of our Myaree office, and like everywhere in WA the settlement starts as soon as the offer and acceptance is signed.
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.
What a Peak Hill settlement can involve
Peak Hill is remote WA, and property here ranges from town lots to land held under lease rather than freehold. Distance does not change the settlement itself, which happens electronically, but the title deserves a careful read.
- Townsite lots, older cottages and larger holdings all turn up, and each settles differently
- If a lease or other tenure is involved, call first so we can confirm what the transaction involves
- Contracts are not always on standard residential terms, so get legal advice on anything unclear
- Lodgement with Landgate through electronic settlement
- Regular updates so you are not left wondering where things are at
Other nearby towns we cover include Kumarina, Karalundi, East Lyons River and Meekatharra.
What we do while you pack up in Peak Hill
Settlement day for a Peak Hill property is less dramatic than people expect. These days nobody needs to meet in an office. In WA, transfers and mortgages generally have to be lodged electronically, so the banks and settlement agents complete it online, the funds move, and the documents go to Landgate for registration.
Before that, we have done the searches, checked the figures and made sure every document is signed and ready. Afterwards, we confirm with you that it has gone through so you can sort out the keys.

Common questions about Peak Hill settlements
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 Peak Hill property.
Is conveyancing the same as settlement in WA?
Pretty much. In WA the work is usually called settlement and is done by licensed settlement agents, who are also known as conveyancers, or by lawyers. We are a licensed settlement agent handling Peak Hill property.
Do I have to attend settlement?
No. Transfers and mortgages in WA generally have to be lodged electronically, so settlement is completed online and you do not need to attend. We let you know once your Peak Hill settlement has gone through.
Can a Perth settlement agent handle a Peak Hill property?
Yes. WA settlements are completed electronically, so the distance from our Myaree office matters very little. The work is done by phone and email. Ring 0428 336 878 to talk it through.
