A settlement agent for Stirling Range National Park buyers and sellers
If your property is in Stirling Range National Park, you are in the Cranbrook area of the Great Southern, roughly 340 km south-east of our Myaree office. An accepted offer feels like the finish line, but for the settlement it is really the start.
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.
You do not need to be near Perth for this. WA settlements happen electronically, and the work can be handled by phone and email. Call 0428 336 878 to talk it through.
What a Stirling Range National Park settlement can involve
Rural property in the Cranbrook area often means more than one lot, sheds, dams or bores, and special conditions about what stays and what goes. We take each one through properly.
- Get your accountant involved early on any farm sale with tax questions
- Farm sales can involve several titles, all of which need to settle together
- Plant, equipment and water arrangements should be spelled out in the contract
- 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
Other nearby towns we cover include Takalarup settlement agent, North Stirlings, Amelup and Woogenellup.
What we do while you pack up in Stirling Range National Park
Settlement day for a Stirling Range National Park 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 Stirling Range National Park settlements
Who chooses the settlement agent?
You do. Buyers and sellers are each entitled to appoint a settlement agent or lawyer of their choice, and to change at any time. You do not have to use the one suggested by the real estate agent.
Can one settlement agent act for both the buyer and seller?
Only if both parties are given a written disclosure and consent. Many Stirling Range National Park buyers and sellers prefer to have their own settlement agent.
What are adjustments?
Rates, water and strata levies are often paid ahead. At settlement they are split so the seller pays up to the settlement date and the buyer pays from then on. It is all set out in your settlement statement.
Can a Perth settlement agent handle a Stirling Range National Park property?
Yes. WA settlements are completed electronically, so the distance from our Myaree office matters very little. The work is done by phone and email. Ring 0428 336 878 to talk it through.
