How we can help you

Fixed price applications.

Application for new titles or to register (survey) strata plans

$1000 +GST

Once you receive the Western Australian Planning Commission’s approval, we will:

  • prepare the Application documents, arrange for you to sign them and lodge at Landgate; and
  • notify you once Landgate issues the new titles.
Our fixed fee excludes:
  • liaising with encumbrance holders – add $600 + GST per encumbrance;
  • disposition or transfer of land;
  • disbursements – these are government and bank fees which we pay and you must reimburse us. All disbursements are charged at cost.

For complex applications, we will give you a written quote in advance.

Testimonials

What our clients say

Excellent service, prompt and helpful above expectations, can highly recommend.

Thank you, Chris Hansord and team, for the smooth settlement and purchase of property. I greatly appreciate your professionalism and prompt assistance throughout the process. This is in particular given the different time zone due to the interstate purchase. I would highly recommend Chris and the team to customers looking to purchase in WA.

In June this year Laura Gant assisted us with settling on our new apartment and she did an excellent job. She was very quick to deal with each task and kept us well informed each time she completed those task. When we just sold our investment property office in August, it was a no brainer as to who we’d use to do that settlement too. Once again Laura excelled. We would highly recommend Laura as she is professional, and the flat rate settlement fee was very fair.

Hi Laura, firstly, I want to appreciate your support throughout the process of buying the property. You are very thorough, knowledgeable and very helpful. Apparently, all of our family members are with you for settlement. We recommended to others too. Many thanks.
