FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Family and Related Party Transfers.

  • How long does a residential property settlement typically take in Western Australia?
    In Western Australia, the standard settlement period is 30 days from the date of contract, but this can vary. Some settlements may be as short as 14 days or as long as 90 days, depending on the agreement between buyers and sellers.
  • What documents do I need to provide for my residential property settlement?
    Typically, you'll need to provide the signed contract of sale, identification documents, and any relevant loan documents. We'll guide you through the specific requirements based on your individual circumstances.
  • Can I attend the settlement in person?
    As your settlement agent, we'll attend on your behalf to ensure all documents are correctly signed and funds are properly transferred.
  • What happens if there's a delay in settlement?
    If a delay occurs, we'll work diligently to resolve any issues and keep all parties informed. In some cases, penalty interest may apply, but we strive to prevent delays wherever possible.
  • How are adjustments for council rates and water rates handled?
    We calculate adjustments for rates and taxes to ensure you only pay for the portion of the year you own the property. These adjustments are factored into the final settlement figures.
  • What's the difference between unconditional and conditional contracts?
    An unconditional contract means all conditions have been met and the sale will proceed to settlement. A conditional contract still has conditions that need to be satisfied before the sale becomes binding.
  • Do I need to do a final inspection before settlement?
    Yes, we recommend conducting a final inspection in the days leading up to settlement to ensure the property is in the agreed condition. We can help coordinate this with the real estate agent.
  • How do I pay for my property purchase?
    Payment is typically made through bank cheques or electronic funds transfer. We'll provide clear instructions on the amount and method of payment well before the settlement date.
