Frequently Asked Questions

Conveyancing costs vary depending on the property price and complexity, but we keep things transparent. There’s a base fee for our legal work, plus disbursements (searches, registration fees, settlement costs) which depend on your specific transaction. For an exact quote, head to our pricing page or get in touch – we’ll give you a breakdown without the surprises.

If you’re buying a townhouse or unit in one of North Lakes’ newer developments, body corporate matters. The body corporate (or owners’ corporation) looks after common property – shared gardens, driveways, roofs, building maintenance. You’ll pay levies to cover these costs, and you’ll need to follow the scheme’s by-laws. Before you commit, we review the body corporate documents, check the levy history, look at planned upgrades, and scan the by-laws for anything unexpected. A low levy might sound good, but a deteriorating building could mean a big special levy next year. We make sure you see the full picture.

Most property transactions in Queensland settle around 30 days after a contract is signed, but the timeline is subject to negotiation between the parties. It depends on your lender and the terms agreed in your contract. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe once we’ve reviewed your contract and understand the details. In the meantime, we keep you updated every step of the way.

Yes. Queensland law requires that a solicitor or law firm handle conveyancing for property transactions. You can’t do it yourself or use an unqualified person. The good news? We make sure that professional help is affordable and straightforward. Think of us as your guide through the process, not an obstacle.

Absolutely. First home buyers get genuine support from us – we walk you through the entire process and explain each step in plain language. Queensland offers first home owner grants and stamp duty concessions depending on your situation. We’ll help you understand what you might be eligible for, work with your lender, review the contract, coordinate settlements, and hand you the keys. It’s a big moment, and we make sure you feel confident every step of the way.

Yes. North Lakes is home to Westfield North Lakes, IKEA, Costco, and a growing retail and commercial precinct. If you’re buying or leasing commercial property in the area, we can help. Commercial conveyancing involves different considerations than residential – leases, zoning, business valuations – but we’ve got the expertise. For more details, see our commercial conveyancing services.
