A settlement agent for Aubin Grove buyers and sellers
If your property is in Aubin Grove, roughly 15 km south of our Myaree office, you are in Perth’s southern suburbs, which is an area we cover. Conveyancing is the part of the sale nobody sees, and it is the part that decides whether settlement day goes smoothly.
A quick bit of WA background: here the people who handle conveyancing are licensed settlement agents (also known as conveyancers) or lawyers. Jacaranda Settlements is a licensed settlement agent. Where your situation calls for legal advice, we will recommend you get it rather than guess.
Being this close to the office means we can usually come to you to sign documents, weekends included. Or keep it all to phone and email if that suits you better.
The kinds of Aubin Grove sales we settle
A lot of Aubin Grove property is newly built or still being built, which brings off-the-plan contracts, sunset clauses and titles that are not issued yet into the picture.
- First home buyer duty concessions may apply, depending on eligibility under RevenueWA’s rules
- New vacant lots cannot settle until their title has been issued
- Off-the-plan contracts often include a sunset clause, so read it before you sign
- Seller identity checks sorted well before settlement
- Strata information requested as soon as the contract is signed
Neighbouring suburbs we cover include settlement agent for Banjup, Hammond Park, Atwell, Success and Wattleup.
What we do while you pack up in Aubin Grove
Settlement day for a Aubin Grove property is less dramatic than people expect. These days nobody needs to meet in an office. In WA, transfers and mortgages generally have to be lodged electronically, so the banks and settlement agents complete it online, the funds move, and the documents go to Landgate for registration.
Before that, we have done the searches, checked the figures and made sure every document is signed and ready. Afterwards, we confirm with you that it has gone through so you can sort out the keys.

Common questions about Aubin Grove settlements
What are adjustments?
Rates, water and strata levies are often paid ahead. At settlement they are split so the seller pays up to the settlement date and the buyer pays from then on. It is all set out in your settlement statement.
I am buying a strata property in Aubin Grove. What is different?
Strata adds the strata company to the picture. Before you sign, the seller has to give you compulsory information about the scheme and the lot. We then request strata information and adjust the levies at settlement.
When is transfer duty paid?
Transfer duty is generally due within two months of the liability arising, and it is usually the buyer who pays. We arrange it through State Revenue Online as part of your Aubin Grove settlement.
Will my settlement agent come out to Aubin Grove?
In most cases, yes. Aubin Grove is a short trip from our Myaree office, so a home appointment to sign the paperwork can usually be arranged, including on weekends.
