Settlement for Buyers

If you’re buying a property, we will:

• Examine  the contract, annexures & special conditions
• Search Landgate (Title) records to ensure that:
  • The property described in the contract is in fact the property you intend to purchase
  • You are aware of any encumbrances which could affect your enjoyment of the property
  • Any encumbrances that should be removed are removed
• Ensure that all conditions of the contract are completed on time & to your satisfaction
• Liaise with your lender to ensure that they will be ready to settle on the due date
• Ensure no outstanding orders have been placed on the property by government departments
• Prepare the correct documentation for signing by you
• Ensure that the contract is lodged & stamp duty (if applicable) is paid within the required timeframes
• Adjust shire & water rates and ensure they are all paid up to date at the time of settlement
• Attend settlement on your behalf to ensure that documentation is in order & correct funds are paid to the seller
• Ensure the property is transferred into your name after settlement
