Getting your Swan View property settled
We look after property settlements right across the Perth Hills, and Swan View, roughly 30 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.
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.
Swan View 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 Swan View sales are not all the same
Property in Swan View is a bit different to the flat suburbs. Larger blocks and semi-rural homes are common, and the contract often has more in it about what stays and what goes.
- Sheds, tanks and outbuildings should be clearly covered in the contract
- Some properties sit across more than one lot or title, which means more documents to line up
- It pays to have building inspections and insurance quotes sorted before your finance goes unconditional
- A settlement statement that sets out the final figures before the day
- Lodgement with Landgate through electronic settlement
Neighbouring suburbs we cover include settlement agent for Greenmount, Midvale, Stratton, Koongamia and Jane Brook.
Inside a Swan View 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 Swan View 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 Swan View 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 Swan View 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 Swan View property.
Is Swan View too far for a home visit?
Not necessarily. Visits out to Swan View can often be arranged, so ring us to check dates. Phone and email work just as well if a visit does not suit.
