Settlement Agent in Naval Base
From signed contract to settled in Naval Base
Naval Base sits roughly 20 km south 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.
Naval Base is close enough that a home visit to sign the paperwork is easy to arrange, including on weekends.
What is behind a Naval Base sale
Property in Naval Base leans commercial and industrial. Industrial strata units still need strata information like any other strata lot, and contracts here are not always on standard residential terms.
- Contracts here are not always on standard residential terms, so get legal advice on anything unclear
- Industrial strata units still need the strata company’s information
- Call first so we can tell you whether your transaction is one we take on
- 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 Naval Base settlement runs
One of the first things we do on any Naval Base 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 Naval Base settlement questions answered
I am buying vacant land off the plan in Naval Base. When does it settle?
Off-the-plan land can only settle after its certificate of title is issued. Check the sunset clause in your contract, and make sure your deposit is held in a trust account.
Someone emailed new bank details for my settlement. What should I do?
Stop and call. Confirm the details using a phone number you already know, not one in the email. We never change our bank details by email.
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 Naval Base property.
Will my settlement agent come out to Naval Base?
In most cases, yes. Naval Base is a short trip from our Myaree office, so a home appointment to sign the paperwork can usually be arranged, including on weekends.
