Frequently Asked Questions
When you sell a property, settlement is the final step where ownership is officially transferred from you to the buyer. As your settlement agent, we take care of all the paperwork and coordination involved, including preparing the transfer documents, liaising with the buyer’s representative and your lender, calculating adjustments for rates and taxes, and ensuring the title is transferred correctly through Landgate. We handle the details so you can move on with confidence.
If you currently have a home loan secured against the property you’re selling, your lender will need to formally release their interest in the property before settlement can be completed. This is called a discharge of mortgage. We liaise directly with your lender on your behalf to arrange this and make sure everything is in order well before your settlement date. It’s one of the most important steps in the sales process, and we make sure it’s handled smoothly.
Our fees consist of our professional service fee plus any applicable government charges, such as Landgate registration fees for the discharge of mortgage. We provide a clear, upfront quote from the outset so there are no surprises. Just get in touch and we’ll put together a personalised fee estimate based on your specific sale.
The settlement period is typically agreed upon in your Contract of Sale and is usually between 30 to 60 days from when the contract is signed, though this can vary depending on the buyer’s circumstances and any special conditions in the contract. Once we receive your instructions, we will get started straight away to make sure everything is prepared well ahead of your settlement date.
Once you’ve accepted an offer and your Contract of Sale is signed, get in touch with us as soon as possible so we can start preparing for settlement. You’ll need to provide us with a copy of your signed contract, your identification, and details of your current lender if there’s a mortgage on the property. From there, we take care of everything and keep you informed right through to settlement day.
