CONVEYANCING FEES
In order to complete a sale or purchase of a property, conveyancing must be done. This includes handling the legal requirements and necessary paperwork that go into transferring ownership from one individual or entity to another. This work is done by licensed conveyancers or solicitors.
Select Legal is a Melbourne based Law Firm that specialises in conveyancing, and believes that for a holistic service and peace of mind that solicitors are best equipped to handle your conveyancing.
A solicitor is a legal professional who is qualified to deal with conveyancing as well as other legal matters. These matters include but are not limited to: Wills and Probate, Dispute resolution and Litigation, Corporate and Commercial Law, Employment Law and so on.
Solicitors can perform a variety of services for their clients, including providing legal advice and taking legal action regarding their properties. They’re usually qualified to handle a wider range of complex legal issues related to real estate transactions than most conveyancers.
Solicitors when it comes to conveyancing, complete and lodge relevant property and legal documents; perform all necessary searches for the transfer of property including certificate of title; provide information on rates and taxes; liaise with all relevant parties in the transaction, including the Vendor or Purchaser’s representative; review the property contract; Dealing with any issues related to a property inspection; prepare the Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor’s Statement; liaise with other relevant parties in the transaction like the lender or broker, and managing agent; ultimately ensuring a smooth transfer of property. Solicitors have all the same capabilities of a conveyancer, but are bound further by legal ethics and service requirements.
To become a solicitor, one must first complete a law degree, which takes a minimum of 4 years. After obtaining their law degree, solicitors usually study for three years before they qualify to practice, and obtain a practising certificate.
So, if you are selling a property, it is very likely you will need a company like Select Legal to advise you about the legal processes and requirements of a property sale/purchase and handle the transfer of your property to the buyer/seller.
And one of the first questions on most people’s lips is invariably something along the lines of ‘how much does a conveyancer cost?’, or ‘how much does conveyancing cost?’ or ‘what are conveyancing fees for selling a house?’

In layman’s terms, conveyancing is “the transfer of legal title of property from one person to another.”
Conveyancing is the legal process of buying or selling real estate. The term comes from the Latin word “conuere” meaning ‘to carry’.
All conveyancing should require a legal or licensed practitioner who specialises in all aspects of property dealings to complete the transactions required.
Selling or purchasing a property requires lots of time and plenty of documents to be completed. That’s where conveyancers step in. They make certain every phase of the exchange goes without a hitch and conforms to the legal standards required by the state legislation.
A conveyancing solicitor provides conveyancing services that help you through every stage of the process, they complete and lodge relevant property and legal documents; perform all necessary searches for the transfer of property including certificate of title; provide information on rates and taxes; liaise with all relevant parties in the transaction, including the Vendor or Purchaser’s representative; review the property contract; Dealing with any issues related to a property inspection; prepare the Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor’s Statement; liaise with other relevant parties in the transaction like the lender or broker, and managing agent; ultimately ensuring a smooth transfer of property
When buying or selling property, conveyancers charge fees to cover their costs. These include legal services, valuation reports, surveyors, etc.
There are three main types of conveyancer fee:
If you are thinking of moving house, consider hiring a professional conveyancer to help you through the process.
The conveyancer will ensure that everything goes smoothly and legally. They will prepare documents, check they are correct, and then sign them so that both parties have agreed to what has been done.
If you decide to go ahead and do it yourself, you should get advice from a solicitor before starting. There are many things to think about when doing this, including how much money you have available, whether you know anything about conveyancing, and if you have enough experience to complete the task.
You could save money by going it alone, but you might end up making mistakes and paying too much.
In Australia, conveyancers charge a fee for each property transaction. This fee is paid by the buyer or seller depending on who has legal title to the property at the time of sale. If the purchaser pays the conveyancer’s fees, they are known as “buyer’s agent” fees. However, if the seller pays them, they are called “seller’s agent’ fees”.
A conveyancer’s or solicitors fees for selling a house can be anywhere from $700 to $1,400 depending on the particulars of your sale and the level of service that you require.
Traditionally Conveyancers charge less (this is not always the case) and property solicitors charge more, however the level of service, follow up, advice and issue resolution is far superior from a conveyancing solicitor.
Select legal is mindful to keep its costs down so as to be competitive whilst still offering the quality of service that keeps all parties happy and the transactions maintained in a timely manner. Conveyancing solicitors do not charge by the hour, but by the transaction. This also keeps costs down.
Select Legal charge a flat fee rate (for ‘standard’ conveyancing) of $990 for their services.
