Settlement Statement
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
A statement showing the money due at settlement, including the purchase balance, deposits, rates, taxes and other agreed adjustments.

Compare the statement with the contract, loan, duty assessment and source invoices before authorising settlement. Query unexplained fees, duplicated amounts and incorrect adjustment dates promptly.
