Frequently asked questions

A disbursement is an expense incurred on behalf of you related to the purchase or sale, and includes the costs of obtaining a certificate from local government authorities or local councils and agency settlement fees.

We offer a fixed professional fee which covers all of the conveyancing work associated with your conveyancing transaction. In the case of a purchase matter, the fixed-fee will be collected at settlement. In the case of a sale matter, a portion of the fixed-fee will be payable after the sale documents have been prepared, with the balance collected at settlement. Our conveyancing costs are fixed on the basis of the following assumptions: - The Contract of Sale remains unchanged between the day of sale and the day of settlement; - Any loan condition or other conditions in the Contract of Sale are satisfied by the due date specified in relation to the condition(s); and -The Contract of Sale is observed by all parties (i.e. there is no breach of the contract by either party).

Yes. If your matter ceases to be standard, and requires the allocation of additional resources, you may be charged additional costs. Similarly, if something goes wrong along the way additional costs may be generated.
