Settlement Agent Bull Creek

Settling a Bull Creek sale or purchase

Buying or selling in Bull Creek? The suburb is about 5 km 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 Western Australia, conveyancing is carried out by licensed settlement agents, sometimes called conveyancers, or by lawyers. We are a licensed real estate settlement agent. We are not lawyers, so if something in your contract needs legal advice we will say so and suggest you speak to one.

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.

Bull Creek houses, units and land

Around Bull Creek you will see original homes on bigger blocks next to newer builds on subdivided lots. A green title house and a strata villa down the street are both normal sales, but they settle differently.

  • If there is a tenant, the contract needs to deal with that
  • Duplex and triplex sites can carry easements for shared services
  • Villa and townhouse complexes are usually strata, so the strata information needs to come in early
  • Strata information requested as soon as the contract is signed
  • Title searched and any issues raised early, not the week before settlement

Questions Bull Creek clients ask their settlement agent

I am buying vacant land off the plan in Bull Creek. 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.

Someone emailed new bank details for my settlement. What should I do?

Stop and call. Confirm the details using a phone number you already know, not one in the email. We never change our bank details by email.

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 Bull Creek property.

Will my settlement agent come out to Bull Creek?

In most cases, yes. Bull Creek is a short trip from our Myaree office, so a home appointment to sign the paperwork can usually be arranged, including on weekends.
