Getting your Orelia property settled

We look after property settlements right across Perth’s southern suburbs, and Orelia, roughly 20 km south 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.

Orelia 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 Orelia sales are not all the same

Orelia has a good spread of property types, from long-held family homes to strata villas. Long-held homes sometimes need title work, such as a survivorship application, before they can be sold.

  • 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
  • If there is a tenant, the contract needs to deal with that
  • A settlement statement that sets out the final figures before the day
  • Lodgement with Landgate through electronic settlement

Neighbouring suburbs we cover include settlement agent for Parmelia, Kwinana Town Centre, Medina, The Spectacles and Bertram.

Inside a Orelia 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 Orelia 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 Orelia settlements

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 Orelia settlement has gone through.

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

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

Is Orelia too far for a home visit?

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