LOGISTIC SETTLEMENTS

12/06/2026

Technology won't fix a poorly managed property transaction.

Digital settlements, online verification, and automated systems are fantastic tools—but they don't replace experience.

When a commercial deal becomes complicated, software doesn't negotiate with stakeholders, solve title issues, coordinate multiple parties, or identify risks before they become delays.

The best settlements happen when technology supports expertise—not when it's expected to replace it.

Have we become too reliant on technology in property transactions, or is there still no substitute for experience?

🔒 Important Changes to Property Settlements – AML Requirements Are Here

The property settlement process is changing with the introduction of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) obligations for settlement agents.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?

✔️ You may be asked to provide additional identification documents.
✔️ Verification of your identity may be required before we can act on your behalf.
✔️ We may need information about the source of funds being used for a transaction.
✔️ Additional checks may be undertaken to ensure compliance with government regulations.

While these changes may add a few extra steps to the settlement process, they are designed to protect clients, businesses, and the Australian property market from fraud, money laundering, and financial crime.

Our team is committed to making this process as simple and seamless as possible. Providing requested information promptly will help avoid delays and keep your settlement on track.

If you have any questions about the new AML requirements and how they may affect your property transaction, please contact our team.
📞 We're here to help every step of the way.

🏡 FINAL INSPECTION TIME! 🔑

Settlement day is almost here, but before the keys change hands, don't forget your final inspection!

A final inspection gives buyers the opportunity to ensure:
✔️ The property is in the same condition as when the contract was signed.
✔️ Any agreed repairs have been completed.
✔️ Included fixtures and fittings remain at the property.
✔️ The property is ready for settlement.

In Western Australia, the final inspection is an important step to help avoid last-minute surprises and ensure a smooth settlement process.

If you have any concerns during your inspection, raise them with your settlement agent as soon as possible so they can be addressed before settlement.

At Logistic Settlements, we are preparing for the introduction of Tranche 2 Anti-Money Laundering reforms by ensuring our team is fully trained, educated, and compliance ready to support our clients with confidence.
We are committed to staying ahead of industry changes and continuing to provide an up-to-date, professional settlement service for every transaction.
Anti-Money Laundering laws were introduced to prevent criminals from using legitimate businesses and financial systems to hide illegally obtained money — not to make buying or selling property more difficult.
In Australia, serious and organised crime is estimated to cost the economy between $35.5 billion and $82.3 billion each year.
By working with the team at Logistic Settlements, you can have confidence knowing your transaction is being managed with compliance, care, and a strong focus on protecting all parties involved.

Buying or selling property in a trust? Here’s what you need to know 👇

✔️ **Set up first, sign later**
If you’re buying in a trust, it must be established *before* the contract of sale is accepted. Otherwise, you could be hit with additional transfer duty.

✔️ **Trusts don’t appear on title**
The trust won’t show on the certificate of title, so it’s essential that the full trust details are correctly recorded in the contract of sale for ownership and tax purposes.

✔️ **Selling? Get the details right**
When selling, make sure both the **trust and trustee details** are accurately listed to reflect the registered proprietor.

Getting the structure right from the start can save time, money, and stress later.
