Need a settlement agent in Bateman?
Buying or selling in Bateman? The suburb is about 3 km south-east of our Myaree office, in Perth’s southern suburbs, and like everywhere in WA the conveyancing starts the moment the offer and acceptance is signed.
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 are close to our office, so you can drop in, have us come to you, or handle the whole thing by phone. Your call.

Your Bateman settlement questions answered
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 Bateman settlement.
The owner has died and the property was held as joint tenants. What happens?
The surviving joint tenant applies to Landgate to be registered as the owner, which is called a survivorship application. It needs a death certificate, a statutory declaration and identity verification. We can prepare and lodge it.
I am buying vacant land off the plan in Bateman. 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.
Will my settlement agent come out to Bateman?
In most cases, yes. Bateman is a short trip from our Myaree office, so a home appointment to sign the paperwork can usually be arranged, including on weekends.
