Understanding the Settlement Process
Key Steps in Settlement
During settlement, several steps take place to finalize the property transfer. First, both parties review the contract and confirm all details are correct. This includes the sale price, deposit, and any conditions that must be met.
Next, the buyer's lawyer or conveyancer prepares for settlement by organising a meeting. They will verify that all necessary documents are in order. These documents may include the mortgage agreement, title deeds, and certificate of currency for insurance.
Finally, funds must be transferred from the buyer's bank to the seller. This includes the purchase price and any adjustments for rates or taxes. Once this is done, the settlement is complete.
Finalising the Property Transfer
After funds are exchanged, the property transfer process continues with finalizing legal documentation. The buyer's representative will register the title of the property with the relevant authority. This is important as it proves ownership.
The seller must also complete and sign various documents to formally transfer ownership. This includes the vendor's statement and any necessary discharge of mortgage.
Once all paperwork is filed, the buyer receives the keys and can take possession of the property. It’s essential for all parties to ensure that the settlement proceeds smoothly to avoid any delays or issues.
