- Professional services
- Disbursements or out of pocket expenses
Professional Services Fee
You might be interested to know that this part of your conveyancing fee pays for the specialised work your property law expert will need to do to legally transfer your property.
As you would expect, transferring a property to a new owner requires:
- Property law expertise
- Time
- Excellent attention to detail.
At Settle Easy, your expert conveyancers have all the skills and experience necessary to ensure all your paperwork is ready to go from pre-contract right up until settlement day.
They’ll also be in regular contact with you and the other party’s legal representatives to nut out all the finer details of this important transaction.
Some people embark on the conveyancing process themselves, but unless you are a property law expert, it’s not something we recommend – there’s just too much at stake when it comes to property transactions.
What are disbursements/out of pocket expenses?
When it comes to conveyancing, the word disbursements and the expression ‘out of pocket expenses’ are used interchangeably by real estate agents, property lawyers, solicitors and conveyancers, but in reality, they are the same thing.
Whether you are escaping to the mountains or investing in an inner city apartment, every property transaction in Australia will incur some sort of out of pocket expenses – it’s just part and parcel of all conveyancing transactions.
It’s important to know that these out of pocket expenses are not covered by Settle Easy’s professional fee.
When we help you with your conveyancing, our conveyancers and property lawyers will undertake various searches to get your conveyancing transaction sorted.
At Settle Easy, our expert local conveyancers and lawyers can provide you with an estimate of what these out of pocket expenses are likely to be for your property, just as soon as we know where your property is located and what sort of property it is.
We can only provide an estimate of these costs because every local council and government body in Australia has different fee schedules for these searches and your out of pocket expenses ultimately depend on where your property is located.
Your out of pocket expenses may pay for things like:
- 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.
