Need a settlement agent in Yokine?
From our Myaree office, Yokine is roughly 15 km north. It is in Perth’s northern suburbs, an area we look after regularly, and the job is the same wherever the property is: get the paperwork right and the settlement done on the agreed date.
In WA the person running your settlement is usually a licensed settlement agent, also called a conveyancer, or a lawyer. We are the former. We prepare and check the settlement documents, handle the figures and lodge with Landgate, and if anything needs legal advice we will recommend you get it.
You are close to our office, so you can drop in, have us come to you, or handle the whole thing by phone. Your call.
Yokine homes and the paperwork behind them
In established inner suburbs like Yokine, plenty of properties have been split into two or three lots over the years, and apartments and older flats are common too. That means a lot of strata and survey-strata settlements.
- Character and heritage questions belong with the council, and are worth checking before you sign
- Battle-axe and rear lots often come with easements for access or shared services
- Older homes often have decades of title history: notifications, easements and the odd old caveat
- Regular updates so you are not left wondering where things are at
- Bank details confirmed by phone, never changed on the strength of an email

From accepted offer to settled in Yokine
Buying in Yokine? The contract will usually have conditions to satisfy before settlement, such as finance approval and inspections. While those are sorted, we search the title, chase the figures and prepare the transfer.
We also handle transfer duty as part of the process, and before settlement you get the chance to do a final inspection to check the property is in the same condition as when you made your offer.

Your Yokine settlement questions answered
Is there a cooling-off period when I buy in Yokine?
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 Yokine 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.
Will my settlement agent come out to Yokine?
In most cases, yes. Yokine is a short trip from our Myaree office, so a home appointment to sign the paperwork can usually be arranged, including on weekends.
