Contract preparation

Contract preparation

No cooling-off period means no room for error.

In WA, once you sign a real estate contract, you’re locked in. There’s no “I changed my mind” clause.

That’s why you want the paperwork working for you.

  • Best case? We draft the contract from the start, tailored to protect your interests.
  • Next best? Let us review the agent’s draft before you sign it at a contract review consultation.

Because “hope for the best” isn’t a strategy when it comes to six and seven-figure deals.

We previously engaged a different settlement agent to process our settlement however found their communication to be appalling even after constant follow ups. However we then switched to Flat Rate Settlements and had Laura looking after us. The settlement of our block of land went through smoothly and we had an excellent experience. Laura was consistently on the ball in terms liaising with the developer, next steps and communication. We highly recommend Laura and would not hesitate to engage her again in future. Thank you Mr P – Flat Rate Settlements Client

Flat rate settlements were excellent in the recent sale and purchase, they also handled a transfer of name on the old title easily. Laura was very patient and handled any queries swiftly and professionally. We will most definitely recommend Flat Rate Settlements to others without hesitation. Thank you.

Laura is fantastic, having previously used Flat Rate Settlements when I purchased my first house, it was a no brainer to go to Laura again years later. She is reliable, goes the extra mile, always contactable and makes the whole process straight forward. I really appreciate your hard work Laura. Thankyou. Ms W – Flat Rate Settlements Client
