A settlement agent for Hazelmere buyers and sellers
Hazelmere is roughly 25 km north-east of our Myaree office. As part of Perth’s eastern suburbs it sees its share of sales every year, and every one of them needs someone to handle the title, the figures and the settlement itself.
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.
At this distance a home visit can often still be arranged. Give us a call to check, or handle most of it by phone and email.
The kinds of Hazelmere sales we settle
Property in Hazelmere leans commercial and industrial. Industrial strata units still need strata information like any other strata lot, and contracts here are not always on standard residential terms.
- Commercial sales can involve leases, equipment and tax questions for your accountant
- Contracts here are not always on standard residential terms, so get legal advice on anything unclear
- Industrial strata units still need the strata company’s information
- Bank details confirmed by phone, never changed on the strength of an email
- Seller identity checks sorted well before settlement
Neighbouring suburbs we cover include settlement agent South Guildford, Guildford, Woodbridge, Midland and Caversham.
What we do while you pack up in Hazelmere
Settlement day for a Hazelmere 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 Hazelmere settlements
I am buying vacant land off the plan in Hazelmere. When does it settle?
Off-the-plan land can only settle after its certificate of title is issued. Check the sunset clause in your contract, and make sure your deposit is held in a trust account.
Someone emailed new bank details for my settlement. What should I do?
Stop and call. Confirm the details using a phone number you already know, not one in the email. We never change our bank details by email.
Will I get a quote before I commit?
Yes. Settlement agents must give you a written costs disclosure before they are appointed. Request a quote and we will set it out for your Hazelmere property.
Is Hazelmere too far for a home visit?
Not necessarily. Visits out to Hazelmere can often be arranged, so ring us to check dates. Phone and email work just as well if a visit does not suit.
