Need a settlement agent in Butler?
Buying or selling in Butler? The suburb is roughly 45 km north of our Myaree office, in Perth’s northern 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 do not need to visit us from Butler. The settlement is electronic and the paperwork can be sorted by phone, email and post. Call 0428 336 878 to discuss.
Butler homes and the paperwork behind them
A lot of Butler property is newly built or still being built, which brings off-the-plan contracts, sunset clauses and titles that are not issued yet into the picture.
- New vacant lots cannot settle until their title has been issued
- Off-the-plan contracts often include a sunset clause, so read it before you sign
- Apartments and villas near the beach are usually strata, so the strata company’s information needs to come in early
- Older lots split into two or three often sit on survey-strata titles with shared driveways
- Strata information requested as soon as the contract is signed

From accepted offer to settled in Butler
Buying in Butler? The contract will usually have conditions to satisfy before settlement, such as finance approval and inspections. While those are sorted, we search the title, chase the figures and prepare the transfer.
We also handle transfer duty as part of the process, and before settlement you get the chance to do a final inspection to check the property is in the same condition as when you made your offer.

Your Butler settlement questions answered
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 Butler settlement has gone through.
Is there a cooling-off period when I buy in Butler?
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 Butler contract raises something that needs legal advice, we will tell you and recommend you speak to a lawyer.
Can a Myaree settlement agent handle a Butler property?
Yes. WA settlements are completed electronically, so the distance from our office matters very little. Most of the work can be done by phone and email. Ring 0428 336 878 to talk it through.
