The conveyancing process is a long and complex one. It involves completing a range of tasks designed to give a complete overview of the property from a legal standpoint. This way, with everything checked and verified, you can complete the settlement confidently and know there won’t be any major legal issues in the future.

Some of the tasks we complete include:

• council and water rates searches
• planning and heritage searches
• title and encumbrance searches
• water meter readings
• road authority certificates
• land tax clearance certificates
• Environment Protection Authority (EPA) certificates
• owner’s corporation/body corporate/strata title certificates.

Conveyancing fees will vary depending on a range of factors. Most of the time, the biggest things to consider are the type of property and the complexity of the transaction.

Every property transaction is different, which means we can’t charge the same fees for everyone. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you’re getting a fair price for conveyancing services and we’ll tailor our prices to match your needs. Additionally, all our conveyancing fees are fixed from the start, which means you won’t find any hidden costs or nasty surprises! 

Of course, there will be additional out of pocket expenses, also known as disbursements. These are fees on top of our conveyancing fees that cover the costs of searches and similar checks. Our conveyancers can give you an estimate of these fees as well once we know a bit more about the property.

For a general conveyancing fee estimate, try our Conveyancing Calculators. Alternatively, book a call with a friendly conveyancer at a time that suits you so we can explain what we’ll charge for your conveyancing.

The time it takes to finalise a property transaction can vary depending on a range of factors. Typically, the process will take 30, 60, or 90 days. We’ll always keep you updated on the progress of your property purchase as we go to make sure you’re in the loop. 

And if you need things done outside of these regular time frames – all you have to do is talk to our experts to see how we can help.

Stamp duty is a tax that’s payable on the purchase or acquisition of property. The amount of stamp duty you’ll need to pay depends on the value of the property or the price you paid for it, whichever one is higher. 

Our conveyancers can provide you with more information on stamp duty and the other fees you may encounter when buying property. If you’re looking for an estimate of how much you’ll have to pay in stamp duty, try our Stamp Duty Calculator.

We’re obviously a little biased here, but the truth is that doing your own conveyancing, while technically legal in some Australian states, just isn’t a great idea.  

Conveyancing is a complex legal process. It involves assessing legal documents, liaising with multiple parties involved, and ensuring everything is in order with a property before settlement. Without conveyancing experience or qualifications in property law, it’s easy to make mistakes that could cost you tens of thousands of dollars.
