Wembley Settlement Agent

A settlement agent for Wembley buyers and sellers

Wembley is roughly 10 km north of our Myaree office. As part of Perth’s western suburbs it sees its share of sales every year, and every one of them needs someone to handle the title, the figures and the settlement itself.

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.

Being this close to the office means we can usually come to you to sign documents, weekends included. Or keep it all to phone and email if that suits you better.

The kinds of Wembley sales we settle

In established inner suburbs like Wembley, plenty of properties have been split into two or three lots over the years, and apartments and older flats are common too. That means a lot of strata and survey-strata settlements.

  • Character and heritage questions belong with the council, and are worth checking before you sign
  • Battle-axe and rear lots often come with easements for access or shared services
  • Older homes often have decades of title history: notifications, easements and the odd old caveat
  • Seller identity checks sorted well before settlement
  • Strata information requested as soon as the contract is signed

Neighbouring suburbs we cover include settlement agent for Floreat, City Beach and West Leederville.

What we do while you pack up in Wembley

Settlement day for a Wembley 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 Wembley settlements

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 Wembley 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 Wembley 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 Wembley settlement has gone through.

Will my settlement agent come out to Wembley?

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