Your Darch Settlement Agent

Your Darch settlement, handled properly

Sitting roughly 25 km north of our Myaree office, Darch is part of Perth’s northern suburbs. An accepted offer feels like the finish line, but for the conveyancing it is really the starting gun.

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.

Darch is a fair way from Myaree, but home appointments can often be arranged. Ring to check availability, or we can run it by phone.

Darch property and what it means for your settlement

Around Darch 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.

  • Villa and townhouse complexes are usually strata, so the strata information needs to come in early
  • Subdivided rear lots often share a driveway, which shows up on the title
  • Long-held homes sometimes need a survivorship application before they can be sold
  • Strata information requested as soon as the contract is signed
  • Title searched and any issues raised early, not the week before settlement

We also handle conveyancing around Darch in Landsdale, Madeley, Marangaroo, Mariginiup and Alexander Heights.

Behind the scenes of a Darch sale

Selling in Darch? Your part is mostly signing things and keeping your bank informed. We look after the rest:

  • Verifying your identity and your authority to sell, which settlement agents must do before settlement
  • Liaising with your bank about discharging the mortgage
  • Working out the rates, water and levy adjustments
  • Confirming the funds and letting you know once settlement has gone through

What Darch buyers and sellers ask us

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 Darch settlement has gone through.

Is there a cooling-off period when I buy in Darch?

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 Darch contract raises something that needs legal advice, we will tell you and recommend you speak to a lawyer.

Is Darch too far for a home visit?

Not necessarily. Visits out to Darch can often be arranged, so ring us to check dates. Phone and email work just as well if a visit does not suit.
