Need a settlement agent in Greenwood?
From our Myaree office, Greenwood is roughly 25 km north. It is in Perth’s northern suburbs, an area we look after regularly, and the job is the same wherever the property is: get the paperwork right and the settlement done on the agreed date.
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.
Want to meet in person? Call first and we will let you know if a visit to Greenwood works for the dates you need. Otherwise phone and email do the job.

From accepted offer to settled in Greenwood
Buying in Greenwood? 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 Greenwood settlement questions answered
Who chooses the settlement agent?
You do. Buyers and sellers are each entitled to appoint a settlement agent or lawyer of their choice, and to change at any time. You do not have to use the one suggested by the real estate agent.
Can one settlement agent act for both the buyer and seller?
Only if both parties are given a written disclosure and consent. Many Greenwood buyers and sellers prefer to have their own settlement agent.
What are adjustments?
Rates, water and strata levies are often paid ahead. At settlement they are split so the seller pays up to the settlement date and the buyer pays from then on. It is all set out in your settlement statement.
Is Greenwood too far for a home visit?
Not necessarily. Visits out to Greenwood can often be arranged, so ring us to check dates. Phone and email work just as well if a visit does not suit.
