Our conveyancing fees are charged at a fixed rate (as quoted) and will not vary during the course of a normal conveyance, you will not be charged with hidden costs or fees.

If however it is necessary for us to vary your Contract, a dispute arises, or further negotiations are necessary, we will provide you with updated quotes in relation to any additional fees and costs that may be incurred.

You will find that the actual amount of time put in by our Practitioners and Conveyancing staff will far outweigh the conveyancing prices which we charge.

We do not believe in quantity over quality.

The Conveyancing Protocol

On 1 July 2006 the Queensland Law Society, in conjunction with Lexon Insurance (the professional indemnity insurer that all Lawyers in Queensland subscribe to), introduced a “Conveyancing Protocol” which set minimum standards for professional work to be carried out by Solicitors on behalf of clients in the conveyancing process.

The Protocol objective is to encourage and foster good conveyancing practices and standards in Queensland. The Conveyancing Protocol was introduced as a result of:-

•  Fees being charged for Conveyancing services which are below market rates, and accordingly provide for a decrease in standards;
•  An increase in the level of complexity and skill required in completing a conveyancing transaction over recent years; and
•  An increased in consumer protection legislation.

If a law firm does not comply substantially with the procedures and standards set by the protocol, that firm will not be covered by professional indemnity insurance .

Our firm is at all times fully compliant with the standards and procedures set by the Conveyancing Protocol. We pride ourselves upon the fact that we go beyond the minimum procedures to provide our clients with the highest standard of legal services.

Stamp Duty (Buyers Only)

When purchasing property in Queensland you are required to pay Stamp Duty. This is a tax imposed by the Queensland Government.

Upon receiving your instructions to act on your behalf we will assess the amount of Transfer Duty to which you will be liable.  We will also advise you whether you are entitled to a concession or exemption of the payment of Stamp Duty if you are, for example:-

• A first home buyer; or
• If the property will be your principal place of residence.

If you are entitled to a concession or exemption of Stamp Duty we will prepare the relevant forms for signing by you.

You should note that Stamp Duty must be paid within one (1) month of the conditions of the contract being satisfied  or the Queensland Office of State Revenue will impose a monetary penalty for late stamping.

To find out more about Transfer Duty, visit the Office of State Revenue’s website at www.osr.qld.gov.au
