What Is Conveyancing And How Does It All Work?

Having a basic understanding of conveyancing and what a conveyancing solicitor does will enable you to navigate the residential property market much easier.

Conveyancing is essentially the transfer of property ownership from one party to another and most often involves a buyer and seller.

There are a variety of steps involved throughout this transfer process that must be looked at by a professional conveyancer or legal professional to ensure clarity of information and legal requirements are adequately disclosed. These include finance conditions, building and pest conditions and any other special conditions in the contract.

The cost of conveyancing in Townsville varies a lot. Some conveyancing solicitors still charge in blocks of time, whereas other offer a fixed fee service. Some conveyancing solicitors will advertise a low fixed fee service, but then add on costs as the matter progresses.

At Keylaw, we offer one of the lowest prices on the market. Our professional fee is just $425 for sellers and $825 for buyers, including GST.

Those professional fees are for a full conveyancing service, which is everything you need to get your property transaction from signing the contract to settlement. It includes;

  • Preparing transfer documents
  • Preparing stamp duty (or transfer duty) documents
  • Attend settlement electronically on your behalf (the Queensland government is about to mandate electronic conveyancing)
  • Handle any legal issues that arise with respect the contract milestones, including negotiating with the other side’s solicitors if necessary and liaising with the real estate agent on your behalf.

Money is often tight when you’re buying or selling property, it’s important to be aware of the common unforeseen costs that can be involved.

Some of the extra fees and charges that often catch people unawares are;

  • Transfer fees (or registration fees) – Titles Queensland’s website has a tool you can use to calculate an estimate of your transfer fee (buyers only)
  • Mortgage release fees (sellers only)
  • Search fees – these are charged by the state government or Townsville City Council for access to information about the property (buyers only)
  • Electronic settlement fees – (buyers and sellers).
  • Transfer duty (or ‘stamp duty’) (buyers only). Transfer duty can be estimated using the Queensland Government’s stamp duty calculator.
