Queensland Conveyancing & Property Law Services
Buying or selling property in Queensland involves more moving parts than most people realise – contracts, searches, settlements, stamp duty, and the occasional curveball nobody warned you about. Empire Legal’s team of conveyancers and lawyers handles the whole lot for everyday Queenslanders. Think first home buyers in Brisbane, downsizers on the Gold Coast, and commercial investors up and down the coast. We work on fixed fees so you know exactly what you are paying upfront – no hourly billing, no surprise invoices at settlement.
Our four core services cover almost everyone buying or selling property in QLD. Residential conveyancing takes care of your house, unit, or townhouse purchase or sale. Commercial conveyancing handles business premises, shops, warehouses, and lease assignments. Seller’s Disclosure (Form 2) preparation is now mandatory for every Queensland property sale since August 2025 – we prepare compliant disclosure packs from $990. And guarantor advice sorts you out when a family member is helping secure your loan and you need independent legal sign-off.
We have offices in Spring Hill (Brisbane CBD), Wynnum (Bayside), and Paradise Point (Gold Coast), plus fully online service for anyone further afield. We are easy to reach no matter where in Queensland your property sits. Pre-contract advice is free, our pricing is transparent, and our 3,000+ Google reviews speak for themselves. Give us a call on 07 3088 7675 or drop us a line and we will have someone back to you within 24 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions About Conveyancing in Queensland
What does a conveyancer do in Queensland?
A conveyancer handles the legal transfer of property ownership from seller to buyer. In Queensland, that means reviewing the contract of sale, running title searches and property enquiries, and calculating stamp duty. It also covers coordinating with banks and the other party’s solicitor, preparing settlement documents, and managing the electronic settlement through PEXA. A good conveyancer also flags risks before you sign. Things like zoning issues, flood mapping, body corporate problems, or dodgy special conditions – so you don’t get stuck with an expensive surprise after settlement.
Do I need a solicitor or a conveyancer for property in QLD?
In Queensland, property transactions can be handled by either a solicitor or an experienced paralegal working under a solicitor’s supervision. What matters more than the title is experience. How many QLD conveyances does the firm handle each month? And do they have the backup of a full law firm when something complicated comes up? At Empire Legal, your matter is managed by an experienced paralegal with full solicitor oversight. You get the speed and fixed-fee pricing of a conveyancer, with the legal muscle of a law firm when you need it.
How much does conveyancing cost in Queensland?
Empire Legal charges fixed fees for conveyancing across Queensland, so you know the total cost upfront. Residential conveyancing starts at our published fixed-fee rates, commercial conveyancing is quoted based on complexity, and Form 2 Seller’s Disclosure packs start from $990. On top of professional fees you will also pay disbursements (search fees, council certificates, title searches) and government charges like stamp duty. We outline all of this upfront so there are no surprises. Check out our transparent pricing or give us a call on 07 3088 7675 for a tailored quote.
How long does conveyancing take in Queensland?
Most residential conveyances in Queensland settle 30 to 42 days from when the contract is signed, with 30-day settlement being the standard default. Commercial transactions can take 30 to 90 days depending on complexity. The timeline depends on finance approvals, building and pest inspection periods, searches, and any special conditions in the contract. Your file handler will keep you updated at every stage so you always know what is happening with your matter.
What is the difference between residential and commercial conveyancing?
Residential conveyancing covers houses, units, townhouses, and vacant land bought for a home. Commercial conveyancing covers property used for business – shops, offices, warehouses, industrial units, and mixed-use buildings. Commercial transactions are more complex because they involve GST considerations, lease reviews, zoning checks, environmental due diligence, and fewer automatic protections than residential contracts. Commercial purchases also do not have an automatic cooling-off period in QLD, which makes pre-contract advice especially valuable.
How do I choose the right conveyancing firm in QLD?
Look for fixed fees (not hourly billing), experience with Queensland property law specifically, fast turnaround times, and real people you can talk to. Read Google reviews to see how the firm treats clients when things go wrong – that tells you more than any marketing copy. Also check whether they offer pre-contract advice for free. Getting a second opinion before you sign is one of the smartest things you can do in a property transaction. Empire Legal has 3,000+ Google reviews averaging 5 stars, offices across Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and free pre-contract reviews as standard.
