Your Glen Forrest Settlement Agent
Your Glen Forrest settlement, handled properly
We look after property settlements right across the Perth Hills, and Glen Forrest, roughly 30 km north-east of our Myaree office, is one we know well from the paperwork side. The contract sets the deadlines. Our job is to meet them.
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.
Glen Forrest is a fair way from Myaree, but home appointments can often be arranged. Ring to check availability, or we can run it by phone.
Glen Forrest property and what it means for your settlement
Glen Forrest is hills country, so think larger lots, rural-residential properties and the odd property spread across more than one title. None of that is a problem, it just means there is more to check.
- Sheds, tanks and outbuildings should be clearly covered in the contract
- Some properties sit across more than one lot or title, which means more documents to line up
- It pays to have building inspections and insurance quotes sorted before your finance goes unconditional
- Lodgement with Landgate through electronic settlement
- Regular updates so you are not left wondering where things are at
We also handle conveyancing around Glen Forrest in Darlington, Boya, Mahogany Creek, Greenmount and Sawyers Valley.

What Glen Forrest buyers and sellers ask us
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 Glen Forrest 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 Glen Forrest 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 Glen Forrest settlement has gone through.

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