Hi,
I'm looking at saving some money by completing the conveyancing on a block of land that I am purchacing.
I did this once before but a long time ago.
There are some good guideline on the WA Landgate website but I can't remember/see who initiates the T1 Transfer of Land Form.
I think it is the seller. Is anyone able to confirm?
Thanks
Thank you, this appears to be the case.
Very dissappointing that government has allowed this to be set up as a monopoly.
Having done a sale recently and was also considering going DIY, but in the end for the end cost (about $450) was well worth the cost to have everything go smoothly.
Not sure spending money on a conveyancer is any guarantee that things will go smoothly, but congrats if yours did.
I got told I needed to transfer my entire deposit between banks with less than 24 hours notice, and got a very "sorry not sorry" response from my conveyancer when I complained about not getting more of a heads up. Fairly stressful couple of hours there but made it in the end.
It's not a monopoly. There are other online conveyancing platforms. PEXA was the first. It's private not public entity. Anyone can spend $$$ and join in.
Just pay the $500-800 bucks to get an experienced conveyancer to do it. This is not a wise task to wing it. Lots can go wrong.
I don't know a lot about WA conveyancing, but I believe basically all WA settlements have to take place in PEXA (since late 2018), which can only be accessed by solicitors/conveyancers/settlement agents, not self-represented parties.
