Getting your Heathridge property settled

We look after property settlements right across Perth’s northern suburbs, and Heathridge, roughly 30 km north of our Myaree office, is one we know well from the paperwork side. The contract sets the deadlines. Our job is to meet them.

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.

Heathridge is a fair way from Myaree, but home appointments can often be arranged. Ring to check availability, or we can run it by phone.

Why Heathridge sales are not all the same

Coastal suburbs like Heathridge see a lot of redevelopment, with old blocks split, rebuilt or turned into units. All of that leaves a trail on the title, and reading it properly is half the job.

  • Older lots split into two or three often sit on survey-strata titles with shared driveways
  • If there is a tenant in place, the contract needs to say how that is being handled
  • Knock-down-rebuild sites can carry easements or notifications worth checking straight away
  • Lodgement with Landgate through electronic settlement
  • Regular updates so you are not left wondering where things are at

Neighbouring suburbs we cover include Connolly, Beldon, Craigie, Edgewater and Ocean Reef.

Inside a Heathridge conveyancing file

Property settlements are a target for payment redirection scams, where someone hacks or copies an email account and sends you new bank details. On a Heathridge sale or purchase, the rule is simple: confirm any bank details by calling a number you already know, never one in the email.

We will never change our bank details by email. If you get a message that says otherwise, ring us on 6266 6961 before you do anything.

Common questions about Heathridge settlements

Is there a cooling-off period when I buy in Heathridge?

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 Heathridge contract raises something that needs legal advice, we will tell you and recommend you speak to a lawyer.

Who chooses the settlement agent?

You do. Buyers and sellers are each entitled to appoint a settlement agent or lawyer of their choice, and to change at any time. You do not have to use the one suggested by the real estate agent.

Is Heathridge too far for a home visit?

Not necessarily. Visits out to Heathridge can often be arranged, so ring us to check dates. Phone and email work just as well if a visit does not suit.
