Settlement Agent in Manning

From signed contract to settled in Manning

Manning sits about 6 km north-east of our Myaree office, in Perth’s southern suburbs. Once the contract is signed there is a fair bit to organise before the property changes hands, and that is what we do.

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.

Manning is close enough that a home visit to sign the paperwork is easy to arrange, including on weekends.

What is behind a Manning sale

Manning 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.

  • If there is a tenant, the contract needs to deal with that
  • Duplex and triplex sites can carry easements for shared services
  • Villa and townhouse complexes are usually strata, so the strata information needs to come in early
  • 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

How a Manning settlement runs

One of the first things we do on any Manning file is search the title. It tells us who the registered owner is and what else is recorded against the land, such as a mortgage, caveat, easement or notification.

Most of it is routine. When it is not, finding out in week one rather than the week before settlement gives everyone time to deal with it.

Your Manning settlement questions answered

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 Manning 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 Manning 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 Manning settlement has gone through.

Will my settlement agent come out to Manning?

In most cases, yes. Manning is a short trip from our Myaree office, so a home appointment to sign the paperwork can usually be arranged, including on weekends.
