How do I choose a settlement agent?
The Importance of Choosing the Right Settlement Agent
Conveyancing is a complex and time-consuming business with many traps for the unwary. Choose your Settlement Agent as you would choose your Accountant, Doctor, Banker, Surgeon or any other professional that you require to look after your individual needs. Settlement agents are experts in their fields, so it’s important to have the right one looking after your needs.
Choosing a conveyancer who doesn’t understand your unique needs is risky as you may not receive the tailored advice and support that you need to achieve your property goals.
A Settlement Agent is a trained and qualified professional who holds a licence under the Settlement Agents Act 1981 and is engaged to facilitate the transfer of legal ownership. This process is known as conveyancing.
To carry on business as a Settlement Agent in Western Australia, there is a requirement to be licensed and hold a current triennial certificate granted by Consumer Protection.
The licensing system administered ensures only suitably qualified people are allowed to operate in the settlement industry. You have a choice in the delivery of conveyancing services and there are benefits to be reaped by choosing a specialist.
While conveyancing is the journey from A to B in your property journey, there are many paths to get there. You need to choose a conveyancer who understands the way you prefer to travel. Considerations like how your documents are prepared and sent for signing, the options available for identity verification, and your preferred level and method of communication, are key aspects to ensuring the process works smoothly for you.
