Settlement Services Perth

Strata title properties include units, apartments, townhouses, or even houses that have been divided into lots. Dealing with these requires an up-to-date understanding of by-laws and legislation, such as the Strata Titles Act 1985 & the Strata Titles Amendment Act 2018. 

With strata schemes in Perth, WA changing and evolving, the conveyancing process is often more complex than a normal residential property settlement. Strata title property settlements require deep experience and contemporary knowledge—along with close collaboration with strata managers and management groups. Talk to our expert strata conveyancing agents about your settlement today.

There’s a growing demand across Perth for subdivision and development, not only for creating new plans but also to consolidate existing plans. Subdivision and development settlements require both specialist knowledge of the process and experience communicating with external parties (such as the WA Planning Commission and Project Managers), preparing specific subdivision documents, navigating any complex legalities, as well as monitoring the subdivision process itself. 

To speak with us about your subdivision and development plans, contact us today.

Whether you’re selling off old land or buying a new piece of land to build, it’s important to understand the location of the property, any restrictions or easements, and how that may affect the conditions and agreed price of the transaction. 

While the land itself is empty, there are many factors that make the settlement more complex than they seem—from planned facilities and amenities to water and electrical services, rights of access, and boundary limits. All of these require legal certainty to ensure the settlement process is above board and there are no issues for the new owner. Speak to us today to find out more about your vacant land settlement.

Regardless of the size of your enterprise, your commercial property is a large (and expensive) ongoing financial commitment.

For this reason, you need a deep and current understanding of by-laws and legislation required in the process. To make sure your commercial property settlement is as seamless as possible, speak to one of our team members to find out more.

Transferring ownership of farms and acreage requires specialist knowledge in the field (no pun intended) due to the complexity of the transactions. 

Along with the land, this may include dealing with water licences, stock brands, machinery and equipment for broadacre farming transactions; and engaging with the Minister of Lands, among other general settlement requirements when transferring pastoral stations. Handling these transactions requires a lot of care and specific attention, with Peacock Settlements being one of the few agencies in WA with the expertise and knowledge to handle these types of dealings. You can learn more about your broadacre farming transactions and pastoral stations by speaking to one of our specialist conveyancers.

By-laws and legislation around property sales change over time. Dealing with the intricacies of private sales – without a real estate agent – requires many considerations. Many of the processes usually taken up by your real estate agent will still need to be completed, such as entering a Contract for the Sale of Land or Strata Title by Offer and Acceptance and reviewing all the details within the contract. Figuring out the desired outcome of your transaction and understanding how to achieve it, and communicating with the party on the other end of the transaction, can be a time-consuming and complex process. Our team is well equipped to deal with and assist you with the process. Enquire today about your private sale.

Handling deceased estates can be a very complex process, including transferring property shares to beneficiaries and dealing with transmission applications. The intricacies of dividing the property and assets of someone who has passed away can be a stressful experience, especially after losing a loved one. However, our team can provide guidance during this process and ensure a seamless experience while considering the complexities of your situation.

Buying or selling property from a family member, co-owner, or other related parties, requires special care due to the skills required to affect the transfer. Related party transfers can often be complex due to personal reasons, and communicating with the party at the other end of the transaction can be difficult, especially considering other duties such as preparing documentation, liaising with your bank, and other general settlement requirements. At Peacock Settlements, we believe in the importance of tailored approaches and are equipped to accommodate your individual needs. Talk to us today about your related party transfer.

Conveyancing through paper is no longer accepted, unless special exceptions are made. Electronic processes for searches and document lodgement are now standard practice, but requires specific knowledge of what you’re looking for, and how to look for it. Obtaining certificates of titles, surveys, mortgages, leases, and other documents from the land and property authority is a time-consuming, but important part of conveyancing. Speak to our team today about your search and document lodgement needs.

Our expert settlement agents will start by advising you on costs that you may need to consider, the decisions you will need to make, and any documents to prepare and contracts to sign. 

Your dedicated conveyancer will then take care of the complicated legal and procedural work, ensuring all documentation is in order and liaising with the required financial institutions and applicable bodies (e.g. Strata, Water Corporation Office, Office of State Revenue). 

They will then prepare all required settlement documents, manage the ownership transfer process, and notify the real estate agents when the property transfer is complete.

We pride ourselves on our customer service, keep our clients informed every step of the way to make the transaction as stress-free as possible.

Whether you’re looking to buy or sell your property, contact Peacock Settlements today for a transparent, cost-effective, and hassle-free conveyancing process.
