Conveyancing in Australia is state-administered — each state has its own land titles registry, stamp duty regime, and standard contract for sale. Settlement is now predominantly electronic via the PEXA platform. Costs vary materially by state and by transaction type (established residential, off-the-plan, commercial, rural).
Common conveyancing matter types in Geelong
Common conveyancing matter types in Geelong
Matter types we see most often in our intake from Geelong and surrounding suburbs.
Standard residential purchase
Contract review, exchange, pre-settlement searches, settlement via PEXA. NSW standard settlement is 42 days after exchange; VIC standard is 30–60 days; QLD typically 30 days. Median professional fee Sydney metro $1,820; Melbourne $1,650.
Off-the-plan purchase
Apartment or house not yet built. Contract review focused on sunset clauses, build-quality provisions, and developer warranty terms. Significantly more complex than established — budget 30–50% higher professional fee.
Property sale (vendor)
Contract preparation, disclosure compliance (s32 vendor statement in VIC; vendor warranties in other states), responding to buyer requisitions, settlement coordination.
Commercial property
Office, retail, industrial. Due diligence on leases, GST treatment, environmental and planning matters. Fees typically 0.1–0.3% of purchase price.
Refinance & transfer
Spouse transfer, family transfer, change of mortgagee. Often duty-exempt where between spouses. Fixed fee in most firms.
Pre-auction contract review
Buyers need contract reviewed before bidding. Once you bid at auction there is no cooling-off period — the contract is binding. Reputable conveyancers will turn this around in 48–72 hours for $500–$850.
How to choose a conveyancing lawyer in Geelong
How to choose a conveyancing lawyer in Geelong
Five questions that determine whether the lawyer in front of you is the right fit for your matter.
Conveyancer or property solicitor. For standard residential, a licensed conveyancer is usually cheaper by $200–$500 and entirely appropriate. For commercial, off-the-plan, or transactions with complications (FIRB, trust purchase, deceased estate, family-court order), a property solicitor is preferable.
Fixed fee with itemised disbursements. A reputable firm quotes the professional fee as a fixed amount and itemises every disbursement at cost. Be wary of bundled “searches package” line items or marked-up PEXA fees — these are common ways margin is hidden.
Same-day response time. In a residential settlement the buyer is making decisions on tight deadlines. Confirm in writing that the firm commits to same-business-day response on email and phone during business hours.
Local market familiarity. Familiar with the council certificates required in your area, the local water authority, and any state-specific quirks (e.g. NSW Section 10.7 certificates vs VIC Section 32 vendor statements).
PEXA-lodging party. Confirm the firm is on PEXA as the lodging party (most are). If not, settlement coordination is more complex.
