Getting your Roleystone property settled
We look after property settlements right across Perth’s south-eastern suburbs, and Roleystone, roughly 25 km 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.
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.
Roleystone is a fair way from Myaree, but home appointments can often be arranged. Ring to check availability, or we can run it by phone.
Why Roleystone sales are not all the same
Roleystone 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 Mount Nasura settlement agent, Karragullen, Armadale, Kelmscott and Bedfordale.
Inside a Roleystone conveyancing file
Property settlements are a target for payment redirection scams, where someone hacks or copies an email account and sends you new bank details. On a Roleystone sale or purchase, the rule is simple: confirm any bank details by calling a number you already know, never one in the email.
We will never change our bank details by email. If you get a message that says otherwise, ring us on 6266 6961 before you do anything.

Common questions about Roleystone settlements
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 Roleystone 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 Roleystone property.
Is Roleystone too far for a home visit?
Not necessarily. Visits out to Roleystone can often be arranged, so ring us to check dates. Phone and email work just as well if a visit does not suit.
