Ensuring a Smooth Settlement Process

From years of experience, Bridge Settlements has developed an efficient process that ensures clients enjoy a hassle-free settlement.

The process involves:

1. A title deed search at the Office of Titles confirming property identification, and any encumbrances pertaining to the land, such as easements, restrictive covenants etc.

"Searching" is a conveyancing term that means, "obtaining a copy of a statutory document", such as Certificate of Title, Survey, Mortgage and other such documents held by the Office of Titles.

2. Contacting relevant Government Agencies or Strata Companies for the following material and information:

a) Certificates in respect of records, plans and policies.
b) Rates, taxes and other outgoings of a periodical nature.

Bridge Settlements then advise the relevant authorities of change of ownership.

3. Following-up any special conditions relating to the Contract or Offer and Acceptance to ensure the conditions are met to our clients' satisfaction.

4. Preparing all transaction documentation in readiness for our client to sign.

5. Arranging for the documents to be stamped at the State Taxation Department.

6. Preparing settlement statements and authorities for payment or receipt of monies in respect of the transaction.

7. Liaising with lending institutions and all other parties involved in the settlement.

8. Maintaining regular verbal and written communication with the client regarding the progress of the transaction.

9. Maintaining regular contact with all relevant parties to ensure arranged settlement deadlines are met.

10. Arranging and attending final settlement, exchanging documents and receiving and disbursing monies to effect the settlement.

11. Lodging relevant documentation at the Office of Titles for registration.

12. Monitoring dealings with the Office of Titles to ensure the transaction is registered correctly .
