Buying a new home or selling a property is an exciting moment as you look towards the future. The most important aspect before either can occur is the conveyancing process. This involves finalising the settlement and transfers the property from one individual to another. Settlement Talk is an experienced property settlement agency in Perth providing professional services. Property settlements can be a rather complicated process from preparing documents to submitting the paperwork. Working with a professional can easily avoid any hassles instead of doing it yourself. Whether you are buying or selling property, we provide professional services to high standards. Sue Trigg is our Licensed Conveyancer with over 25 years of experience in the industry. With our services, we handle every aspect of the property transaction for a smooth settlement. Our commitment is providing outstanding and personalised services with professionalism and integrity. Call us today to discuss your settlement requirements with our expert team.

A few months ago, we shared this pic of our superstar Charlotte after she finished her Advanced Diploma of Conveyancing studies 🎓🥳

Well... last month she officially took the next BIG step and was granted her Settlement Agent Licence! 🙌

Anyone who has completed the journey to becoming a licensed settlement agent knows just how much work goes into getting there. Between the study, practical experience, and everything else required along the way, this milestone is well worth celebrating.

And while Charlotte has already been such an important part of the Settlement Talk team, we're incredibly proud to now officially have another licensed settlement agent among our ranks 🩷

Charlotte, congratulations on such a brilliant achievement. Thoroughly deserved after all the hard work you've put in over the years 👏

Final inspection coming up? You don't have to go it alone 🏡

If your contract entitles you to a final inspection, you can bring up to two other people with you.

That might be...
🏡 A family member or friend for an extra set of eyes
🏡 A tradie, if there’s something specific you’d like checked
🏠 Your buyer’s agent or another person helping you through the purchase

Just remember, though, that your final inspection isn't a second building inspection or an opportunity to start looking for new issues with the property.

Its purpose is to check that the property is in the condition required by your contract (including that it hasn't materially changed since you made your offer) and, where applicable, that agreed repairs have been completed and items covered by a working order warranty are working.

And one important little caveat 👉 not every WA buyer is automatically entitled to a final inspection. Your entitlement depends on the terms of YOUR contract.

So, if your final inspection is approaching and you're unsure what you're entitled to check, who you can bring along or what happens if you find an issue, speak to your settlement agent BEFORE inspection day.

That way, you can walk in knowing exactly what you're looking for 🙌

The office might be a little quieter than usual this week... but there’s a VERY exciting reason why 👀

Hannah, Samantha, Sue & Les have packed their bags and made their way to Italy, and rumour has it there might be some bells ringing very soon 🔔💍

While they're off celebrating a very special occasion, it’s business as usual back at Settlement Talk HQ, with Kelly, Helen & Charlotte holding down the fort and looking after all of our wonderful clients, with plenty of help from Trina & Jade.

Keep your eyes peeled for some wedding spam in the future... but for now, we’re sending ALL our love across to Italy as the countdown to Hannah & Fabio’s big day gets very, very real! 🥂🫶

$9,888,428.
👆 That’s how much Australians reported losing to payment redirection scams in the 2025–26 financial year 😳

Payment redirection scams work by intercepting emails and impersonating a person or business you already trust. And when you're buying or selling property, where large sums of money are being transferred and emails about funds are completely normal, a fraudulent request can look frighteningly convincing.

The email might look right.
The timing might make perfect sense.
The sender might appear to be someone you've been dealing with throughout the transaction.

And that’s exactly why we keep talking about this month after month.

Before transferring ANY money relating to your property transaction...
🔎 Call the person or business using a phone number you already know and trust to verbally confirm the payment details.
🔎 Check the FULL sender email address carefully. One missing letter, an extra character or a slightly different domain can be very easy to overlook.
🔎 Be particularly cautious of any message telling you that bank details or payment instructions have changed.
🔎 If something feels unusual or you're being rushed, STOP. A few extra minutes spent checking could protect you from an enormous financial loss.

Check. Then check again. And if you're still not sure? Pick up the phone and check one more time 🩷

Property settlements come with enough things to think about. Dealing with your settlement agent shouldn't be one of them 🏡

Our entire business is built around making things as easy and convenient as possible for YOU. That's why we offer services like...

🏠 Digital ID checks & onboarding. For when you prefer to complete these late at night once the kids are finally in bed.

🏠 Face-to-face document signing. For those clients who feel more comfortable sitting down and asking questions as we work through your paperwork.

🏠 A real person at the other end of the phone. Our team are here to answer any questions, whether you're confused about what happens next or just want some quick guidance.

🏠 Mobile signing. Perfect for when you're struggling to get away from work or packing. We offer a mobile service across the Perth metro area, with appointments available up until 7pm Monday to Friday, or by appointment on Saturdays.

We know that everyone has different schedules, different preferences and different levels of experience when it comes to buying and selling property. Our job is to make your settlement as simple as we possibly can 🩷

How are the school holidays here again already?! 😅🙈

If you're already wondering how you're going to fill the days, luckily Freo has plenty happening to keep little people entertained (and get everyone out of the house 🙌).

Here are a few ideas to add to the school holiday list...

👉 The Totally Lit Trail returns for young pirates to follow a treasure map through six unique Fremantle locations to complete challenges and collect treasure along the way.
👉 Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre have a variety of creative sessions for kids of all ages, including screenprinting, cartooning, acting, clay and so much more.
👉 Need to burn some energy? Monster Village is back at Esplanade Park with their giant pop-up inflatable playground.
👉 CircusWA is offering a range of circus classes and jams for ages 2+ including tumbling, aerials, juggling and more.

And that's only scratching the surface of what's happening around Freo these holidays!

Own a short-stay property in WA? Here’s a $2,000 reminder to make sure your registration is sorted 😬

Consumer Protection issued its first infringement last month under WA’s Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) laws, after a Perth metropolitan property was allegedly advertised without displaying its mandatory STRA registration number.

🔗 https://www.consumerprotection.wa.gov.au/announcements/first-infringement-issued-under-was-short-stay-laws?

So, it seems like a good time for a refresher! 😉

If you own a short-term rental accommodation in WA, your property must be registered with Consumer Protection (and you need to display your STRA registration number on your ads). These requirements include not just entire homes but also granny flats and even rooms within a home 🏠

Know someone with an Airbnb, Stayz or other short-stay property? Tag them below or send this their way as a friendly reminder 👇

There’s nothing quite like that moment when the keys are finally in your hand 🍾

After the inspections, paperwork, finance, packing, phone calls, ID checks and a seemingly endless list of things to organise... 🫠 settlement can feel very much like the finish line.

But really... It’s just the beginning 🩷

It’s the first takeaway dinner surrounded by boxes. The first morning waking up and remembering THIS is home. Meeting the neighbours, figuring out which cupboard everything belongs in, tackling those first DIY projects and slowly making the place completely yours.

And while for us, settlement might be the end of the property transaction, we know that for you, it’s page one of everything that comes next. And THAT is why we still get such a kick out of telling our clients those magic words... “Congratulations, it's settled!”

If you're looking for a conveyancer who is with you along your entire property journey, we'd be honoured to be part of your next chapter 🏡🫶 Head to our website to get started 👉 settlementtalk.com.au
