BUYING AND SELLING RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
You’ve found a property you love. Let us handle the legals.
We’ve helped thousands of Queenslanders get off to a great start in their new properties and we’d love to help you.
Our experience makes all the difference. We’ll make sure:
- the Contract is right before you sign – we’ll add any conditions you need so you can sign with confidence and get out of the deal if you need to;
- you find out all you need to know about the property – we conduct searches to protect you from any nasty surprises down the track;
- you only pay bills for the property from the date you own it;
- you pay the least amount of stamp duty possible; and
- you’re not surprised by any large body corporate expenses around the corner, if you’re buying an apartment.
Our founder Peter Campbell has 35 years experience in property law and personally oversees every file in the office. If there’s any issue with your Contract, he’s the person you need to have on your side.
Unlike cut-price online conveyancers, we’re proud to be a fully operational law firm.
This means:
- we have a real life office you can visit at any time;
- we’re easily contactable – we’ll take your calls and we’ll respond quickly to your emails;
- getting your documents witnessed is a breeze – you can pop in anytime, so there’s no need to find a JP;
- we’ll work with your banker or finance broker to make sure you meet your finance obligations and can settle on time;
- you’re not a number to us, you’re a person – if any issues arise during your purchase our Solicitors will give your file the time and care it deserves.
First Home Buyers
This is an exciting time for you. We understand you haven’t done this before. We’ll answer any questions you have and guide you step by step though the process, to make sure that buying your first home is a great experience.
Investors
You’ve worked hard to save money for your investment. Contact us before you sign for a condition that will let you find out as much as possible about the property before you go unconditional, so you won’t be stuck with any surprising expenses.
Buying at auction
Auction contracts are unconditional. That means you need to find out all you can about the property, before you make a bid. Contact us now and we’ll obtain searches for the property so you know exactly what you’re bidding for at the auction.
Off the plan Contracts
If you’re buying off the plan, you’re sure to notice how long the developer’s documents are. Don’t be overwhelmed, we’ve got decades of experience advising buyers on how these Contracts work and what they mean for you.
PRICING
For pre-signing Contract review and advice, including personalised special conditions our fees start at $175.00 plus GST.
For a standard purchase our prices are $700.00 plus GST, plus outlays for the searches you instruct us to order and the settlement agent fee of $38.00.
For advising on off the plan Contracts our fees start at $275.00 plus GST.

SELLERS
You’ve made the decision to sell. Moving house can be stressful, but the legals don’t have to be.
This is the sale of your biggest asset.
For over 35 years, our founder Peter Campbell has helped thousands of Queenslanders with their big moves.
Our decades of experience is often the difference between keeping a Contract on foot and having a Buyer terminate.
We’ll make sure your sale runs smoothly from the moment you sign the Contract, to the moment the sale funds hit your account.
We’ll handle your sale with the care and skill it deserves, by:
- working with the Buyer’s Solicitor and the Agent to make sure the Contract becomes unconditional asap;
- keeping you updated about the Contract conditions and explaining your rights if the Buyer breaches any condition, so you always know where you stand;
- making sure you’re reimbursed at settlement for any rates or water accounts you’ve paid in advance;
- working with your Bank to make sure your mortgage is repaid and released properly at settlement; and
- if you’re selling and buying on the same day, we’ll make it easy to move from one property to the next by coordinating the settlements so that the money from your sale goes towards your purchase.
We understand that sometimes it’s the little things that can make all the difference. That’s why we:
- have an office you can visit anytime to ask any questions you might have and have your documents witnessed (no need to find a JP);
- are easily contactable – we’ll take your calls and we’ll respond quickly to your emails;
- can bank your sale money directly into your account after settlement.
PRICING
If you’re selling without an Agent, we’re happy to prepare a Contract with conditions that suit you. Our fees for this start at $200.00 plus GST.
For a standard sale our prices are $600.00 plus GST, plus the cost of a title search at $34.75 and the settlement agent fee of $38.00.
