Koongamia Settlement Agent

A settlement agent for Koongamia buyers and sellers

Koongamia is roughly 25 km north-east of our Myaree office. As part of Perth’s eastern suburbs it sees its share of sales every year, and every one of them needs someone to handle the title, the figures and the settlement itself.

A quick bit of WA background: here the people who handle conveyancing are licensed settlement agents (also known as conveyancers) or lawyers. Jacaranda Settlements is a licensed settlement agent. Where your situation calls for legal advice, we will recommend you get it rather than guess.

At this distance a home visit can often still be arranged. Give us a call to check, or handle most of it by phone and email.

The kinds of Koongamia sales we settle

Koongamia has a good spread of property types, from long-held family homes to strata villas. Long-held homes sometimes need title work, such as a survivorship application, before they can be sold.

  • 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
  • If there is a tenant, the contract needs to deal with that
  • Regular updates so you are not left wondering where things are at
  • Bank details confirmed by phone, never changed on the strength of an email

Neighbouring suburbs we cover include Bellevue settlement agent, Midvale, Stratton, Jane Brook and Midland.

What we do while you pack up in Koongamia

Settlement day for a Koongamia property is less dramatic than people expect. These days nobody needs to meet in an office. In WA, transfers and mortgages generally have to be lodged electronically, so the banks and settlement agents complete it online, the funds move, and the documents go to Landgate for registration.

Before that, we have done the searches, checked the figures and made sure every document is signed and ready. Afterwards, we confirm with you that it has gone through so you can sort out the keys.

Common questions about Koongamia settlements

Can you give me legal advice about my contract?

We are settlement agents, not lawyers. If your Koongamia contract raises something that needs legal advice, we will tell you and recommend you speak to a lawyer.

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 Koongamia buyers and sellers prefer to have their own settlement agent.

Is Koongamia too far for a home visit?

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