Perth Residential Settlement Agents

While most residential property settlements are completed without a hitch, beneath the surface is an intricate process involving various complex financial and technical aspects. Whether you’re buying or selling a property in Perth, should something out of the ordinary occur, it’s crucial to have a skilled residential settlement agent to safeguard your interests.

For buyers, a real estate lawyer can review contracts and ensure that you maximise your rights, saving time and money in the long run. For sellers, it’s about managing documents, disclosures, and dealing with any legal issues that may arise in property transfers. This helps both buyers and sellers to make informed decisions and mitigate risk.

Residential Property Settlement & Conveyancing FAQs

What is property settlement in residential real estate?

Property settlement is the final step in buying or selling a home. Settlement refers to the legal transfer of property ownership from the seller to the buyer. During the settlement, the buyer pays the remaining amount the seller owes, and all necessary documents are exchanged.

How is property settlement calculated in residential real estate?

The residential settlement amount is calculated by adding the purchase price and any adjustments (like rates and taxes) and subtracting the deposit already paid. This final amount is what the buyer needs to pay to complete the property purchase.

What happens if there are issues on settlement day?

If issues arise on settlement day, such as outstanding repairs, the parties may need to negotiate a solution. It’s crucial to have open communication and, if necessary, involve our legal team to resolve any disputes.

What is the difference between a regular settlement agent and a law firm settlement agent?

While a settlement agent can register mortgages and caveats, they can legally not prepare them. However, our experienced legal team of property settlement lawyers can both prepare and register mortgages and caveats with a full-service provision beyond the service levels of most settlement agents.

Why choose a residential property settlement agent in a law firm?

It’s worth considering a residential property settlement agent as they act only in your best interest. There are no competing considerations about whether the sale or purchase can go through, and if there is a problem, the settlement agent can inform and assist you accordingly.
