To help you understand the Perth settlement process, how it works, and what happens next, we’ve collected some of the most common questions we get asked—and answered them for you.
A Perth settlement agent, like us, helps you to undertake the process of transferring a property from a seller to a buyer. We undertake the document preparation, organise the meetings, coordinate the finances, undertake the title search, liaise with all the necessary parties, and even manage the legal requirements.
Essentially, we partner with you throughout the whole process, to make it as easy as possible on you.
The Perth property settlement process typically takes between six to eight weeks, from your first meeting through to exchanging the keys.
The settlement meeting is the final piece of the puzzle, once all the paperwork has been prepared, finances approved, and inspections completed.
At the settlement meeting, your Perth settlement agent will liaise with your lender and seller’s representative to exchange the necessary documents. Your settlement agent will undertake the necessary due diligence to ensure everything is correct. The balance of the purchase price will be paid to the seller, and the lender will then register a mortgage and provide the loan funds that allow you to buy the property.
That’s it in a nutshell, so get in touch with our Perth settlement agents to understand more about how the settlement process works.
