A settlement agent for The Spectacles buyers and sellers
If your property is in The Spectacles, roughly 20 km south of our Myaree office, you are in Perth’s southern suburbs, which is an area we cover. Conveyancing is the part of the sale nobody sees, and it is the part that decides whether settlement day goes smoothly.
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 The Spectacles sales we settle
Semi-rural property in The Spectacles can bring things a suburban sale never does: multiple titles, sheds, bores and special conditions about equipment. We take each one through properly.
- What you can do on the land is a council question, so ask the council before you sign
- Larger lots can be on more than one title
- New estates sit next to older rural properties, so no two sales look alike
- 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 Orelia settlement agent, Bertram, Mandogalup, Postans and Parmelia.
What we do while you pack up in The Spectacles
Settlement day for a The Spectacles 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 The Spectacles 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 The Spectacles 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 The Spectacles property.
Is The Spectacles too far for a home visit?
Not necessarily. Visits out to The Spectacles can often be arranged, so ring us to check dates. Phone and email work just as well if a visit does not suit.
