Property Conveyancing in Perth

Property settlement is the process in which a seller transfers ownership to a buyer.  There is legislation and regulation when it comes to transferring property. Both parties must comply with documentation, tax, stamp duty, contracts, and outstanding claims on the property searches carried out and cleared before property is officially transferred.

A conveyancer or solicitor is best equipped to help buyers and sellers through this process. Sometimes buyers or sellers of commercial property may be part of a Strata, which requires different contracts or steps to complete the process. KDD Conveyancing Services’ conveyancers agents have decades of experience in handling the paperwork, inspecting contracts, ensuring valuations are correct, fees and charges such as duty or land transfer charges are paid by the appropriate parties, and that funds are processed and cleared in a timely manner. You won’t even have to attend the settlement – we take care of the entire process from start to finish so you gain a better peace of mind.

PEXA is the world’s first online property settlement network, allowing property buyers and sellers to electronically lodge and settle transactions using secure servers. PEXA enhances efficiency through real-time lodgement of land registry documents, fast access to cleared funds, and higher certainty of on-time settlement by working to eliminate human errors in manual handling as much as possible. Since the transactions are handled electronically, funds can be deposited directly into accounts, instead of waiting three-to-five days for a cheque to clear.

It also allows thorough visibility of the process on both sides, eliminating guesswork – PEXA notifies you electronically as documents or funds are lodged. To find out more, call one of our friendly conveyancers today.
