Why These Resources Are Free

Built by the Team Who Handles Your File

These checklists and guides are written by the same licensed settlement agents who manage real Perth transactions every week — not generic templates.

If anything here doesn’t quite match your situation, that’s normal — every property transaction has its own quirks. Call us and we’ll talk through exactly what applies to you.

Questions

Common Questions

Are these checklists specific to Western Australia?

Yes — every checklist and guide on this page is written specifically for WA property law and the Landgate settlement process, not a generic national template.

Do I need a settlement agent if I use these checklists?

These checklists are a helpful guide, but they don’t replace a licensed settlement agent. We handle the legal transfer, contract compliance, and Landgate lodgement itself.

Am I eligible for the First Home Owner Rate of duty?

Eligibility depends on the property’s dutiable value and whether you qualify for the First Home Owner Grant. Our First Home Owner Rate guide breaks down the current thresholds in detail.

Where do I get an ATO Clearance Certificate?

These are applied for directly through the ATO — see the Government & Compliance section above for the link, or ask us and we’ll point you in the right direction.
