Our fee structure is simple and transparent. We charge for the work we do, not for the time it takes us to do it for you.
For most legal work we do, we will give you a fixed fee quote for our professional services.
For conveyancing, we charge a fixed professional fee of $600 + GST for a Sale, and $850 + GST for a purchase.
We do not charge extra for checking over the contract before you sign or for extensions or negotiations over e.g. building & pest issues that may arise. Our professional services fee is truly fixed.
Purchases may require 'due diligence' information searches to be performed with Councils, State government agencies and third parties such as body corporate records. Those agencies will release information to you on payment of their fee. Any fees for those searches you [or sometimes your lender] may require are passed on to you at cost only. We will also let you know the extent of your obligations to pay GST, stamp duty and any other taxes. You will therefore know upfront what the total costs involved will be.
Other types of legal work may be more difficult to define. For these types of matters, the process is:
N.B. Our bill will never exceed the estimate of fees we gave you to complete the agreed scope of work.

Other types of legal work may be more difficult to define. For these types of matters, the process is:
- we discuss with you the extent of your legal matter and your options
- we agree with you the scope of the work to be done by us
- we give you an estimate, or a range of estimates, of the cost of doing that work
- we do the work as agreed
- we bill you and you pay us
