Your High Wycombe Settlement Agent
Your High Wycombe settlement, handled properly
We look after property settlements right across Perth’s eastern suburbs, and High Wycombe, roughly 20 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.
High Wycombe is a fair way from Myaree, but home appointments can often be arranged. Ring to check availability, or we can run it by phone.
High Wycombe property and what it means for your settlement
Around High Wycombe 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.
- Long-held homes sometimes need a survivorship application before they can be sold
- If there is a tenant, the contract needs to deal with that
- Duplex and triplex sites can carry easements for shared services
- Seller identity checks sorted well before settlement
- Strata information requested as soon as the contract is signed
We also handle conveyancing around High Wycombe in settlement agent for Maida Vale, Forrestfield, Gooseberry Hill, Wattle Grove and Lesmurdie.

What High Wycombe buyers and sellers ask us
Will I get a quote before I commit?
