What is a professional fee? These are the various professional fees required to perform your conveyancing. Professional fees could cover items such as your conveyancer’s consultation, negotiation on your behalf, advisory, overheads, stationary costs, and more.

Search fees at a glance

What is a search fee? In essence, a ‘search’ is what is required to verify if the seller of the property actually has the legal right to sell the property. Your conveyancer will also need to conduct a ‘search’ to find whether there are any restrictions on how the property can be used, or if there are any encumbrances on the title.

Note: pricing of your search is also dependent on the location, features, and councils your property sits in.

When should you contact a conveyancer?

It is generally recommended to begin discussions with a conveyancer before you decide to sell your property, or make an offer to buy a property.

Solicitors and conveyancers - is there a difference?

You may now be wondering: what’s the difference between a solicitor and conveyancer? It sounds like a conveyancer does the same thing as a solicitor.

In a general sense, a conveyancer specialises solely in property law. Solicitors can specialise in a range of different aspects of law. Thus it is common advice to consult a conveyancer for more straightforward transactions, such as buying a brand new off the plan unit in Gold Coast, and a solicitor for more complicated deals, such as the selling of a property after a divorce. However, this decision must be made on a case by case basis. Please consult a reputable conveyancer or solicitor for options.
