A settlement agent for Kinross buyers and sellers

If your property is in Kinross, roughly 35 km north of our Myaree office, you are in Perth’s northern 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.

You do not need to be near our office for this. WA settlements happen electronically, and most of the conveyancing can be handled by phone and email. Call 0428 336 878 to talk it through.

The kinds of Kinross sales we settle

Coastal suburbs like Kinross 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.

  • Apartments and villas near the beach are usually strata, so the strata company’s information needs to come in early
  • 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
  • Rates, water and any strata levies adjusted so each side pays only their share
  • A settlement statement that sets out the final figures before the day

Neighbouring suburbs we cover include settlement agent Currambine, Burns Beach, Iluka, Joondalup and Connolly.

What we do while you pack up in Kinross

Settlement day for a Kinross 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 Kinross settlements

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 Kinross settlement.

The owner has died and the property was held as joint tenants. What happens?

The surviving joint tenant applies to Landgate to be registered as the owner, which is called a survivorship application. It needs a death certificate, a statutory declaration and identity verification. We can prepare and lodge it.

I am buying vacant land off the plan in Kinross. 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.

Can a Myaree settlement agent handle a Kinross property?

Yes. WA settlements are completed electronically, so the distance from our office matters very little. Most of the work can be done by phone and email. Ring 0428 336 878 to talk it through.
