Our flowcharts are a useful, step-by-step guide to the buying process, for both standard and off the plan purchases.
So; if you are considering buying a property, in Perth or elsewhere, we are ready with years of experience and knowledge to confidently handle everything for you.
What Is The Settlement Process For Buyers?
We take care of
- Verifying your identity as required by Landgate (titles office)
- Completion and lodgement of the settlement documents to change the details of ownership on the certificate of title
- Dealing with your bank to ensure they are ready for settlement
- Making enquiries and keeping you informed about the progress of the settlement
- Notifying you right away if any problems arise
- Adjust shire and water rates and ensure they are paid up to date at settlement
- Checking that all inspections are completed, and all clauses/special conditions in the contract are met
- Ensure that settlement costs are paid at the time of settlement.

We recommend buyers should also budget for Title Insurance.
What is Title Insurance?
It is something that we strongly suggest and recommend to everyone.
When buying a property there are many inherent risks which may cause you loss or affect your ownership. Title insurance is a specialised type of insurance that provides home buyers with protection against certain unknown and hidden risks which may exist at the time of purchase. If you already own your home, you can obtain the protection that title insurance provides by applying for a Residential Existing Owner Policy.

At C&R Settlements we are upfront and straight forward with our costs.
There are many competitors who are offering lower rates but be aware of hidden fees through Product Disclosure Statements (PDS). All government charges and enquiry fees are the same with all agents. The cheap approach when making one of the biggest financial transactions of your life may lead to a delayed settlement with additional fees.
