What does an Empire Legal conveyancer do?
An Empire Legal conveyancer handles every step of the property transfer process – from the moment you find a property to the day you get the keys. We review and explain the contract before you sign, conduct title and property searches, manage the cooling-off period, calculate stamp duty, liaise with your lender and the other party, and attend settlement on your behalf. Our step-by-step guide to how conveyancing works in Queensland walks through what happens and when.
The difference between us and most conveyancing firms: Empire Legal employs conveyancers AND solicitors under one roof. Our experienced conveyancers (paralegals) handle the day-to-day work on your file; our in-house property solicitors step in for anything that needs full legal advice – a contract dispute, a finance hiccup, a building and pest fight. You get both, without switching firms or paying extra to escalate. If you are still working out what a conveyancer actually is, that page explains the role in plain English.
We service Brisbane and the Gold Coast on fixed fees with no hidden costs, no lock-in contracts, and 24-hour pre-contract advice for buyers. Our fixed-fee pricing page sets out what you pay before you engage us. 3,000+ five-star Google reviews tell the story.
Where we work
We act for buyers and sellers right across South East Queensland, from offices in Spring Hill, Wynnum and Paradise Point. If your property is in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast, those pages set out exactly what we do, what it costs and how long it takes.
Conveyancer vs solicitor – what is the difference?
A conveyancer handles property transfers. A solicitor handles a wider range of legal matters. In Queensland, only solicitors can give full legal advice when a contract dispute, finance issue or settlement problem arises. A standalone conveyancer can process the paperwork – but if something goes wrong, you will need to find a solicitor anyway.
Empire Legal solves this by employing BOTH. Our conveyancers (experienced paralegals) handle the standard transfer work on a fixed fee. Our in-house property solicitors step in for anything that needs legal advice – escalations, disputes, complex matters – at no extra cost to you. You do not have to switch firms halfway through your settlement.
If you are choosing between a conveyancer and a solicitor for your Brisbane or Gold Coast purchase, the honest answer is: choose a firm that gives you access to both. That is us. Buying? Start with our for buyers guide. Selling? Start with for sellers.
