Your Champion Lakes settlement, handled properly
Sitting roughly 20 km south-east of our Myaree office, Champion Lakes is part of Perth’s south-eastern suburbs. An accepted offer feels like the finish line, but for the conveyancing it is really the starting gun.
You might hear the job called conveyancing, settlement or both. In WA it is done by licensed settlement agents (conveyancers) or lawyers. We are a licensed settlement agent, which means we handle the transfer and the settlement, and we point you to a lawyer when legal advice is needed.
We are only a short drive away, so if you would rather sit down and go through the documents at home or at work, we can do that.
Champion Lakes property and what it means for your settlement
Around Champion Lakes you will see original homes on bigger blocks next to newer builds on subdivided lots. A green title house and a strata villa down the street are both normal sales, but they settle differently.
- Villa and townhouse complexes are usually strata, so the strata information needs to come in early
- Subdivided rear lots often share a driveway, which shows up on the title
- Long-held homes sometimes need a survivorship application before they can be sold
- Strata information requested as soon as the contract is signed
- Title searched and any issues raised early, not the week before settlement
We also handle conveyancing around Champion Lakes in Seville Grove, Camillo, Piara Waters, Harrisdale and Kelmscott.

- Verifying your identity and your authority to sell, which settlement agents must do before settlement
- Liaising with your bank about discharging the mortgage
- Working out the rates, water and levy adjustments
- Confirming the funds and letting you know once settlement has gone through

What Champion Lakes buyers and sellers ask us
Do I have to attend settlement?
No. Transfers and mortgages in WA generally have to be lodged electronically, so settlement is completed online and you do not need to attend. We let you know once your Champion Lakes settlement has gone through.
Is there a cooling-off period when I buy in Champion Lakes?
Generally, no. Once a WA property contract is signed there is no cooling-off period unless one has been added as a special condition, so be sure before you sign.
Can you give me legal advice about my contract?
We are settlement agents, not lawyers. If your Champion Lakes contract raises something that needs legal advice, we will tell you and recommend you speak to a lawyer.
Will my settlement agent come out to Champion Lakes?
In most cases, yes. Champion Lakes is a short trip from our Myaree office, so a home appointment to sign the paperwork can usually be arranged, including on weekends.
