Most buyers pick a conveyancer on price alone. Panic sets in when the file gets complicated two days before settlement. A review site named SIIT asked a sharper question, and the answer should matter to anyone buying or selling in Melbourne.

A Property Comparison Site Put Five Melbourne Conveyancers to the Test. One Firm Answered Every Measure.

SIIT publishes independent comparisons of local service providers. The site weighs what each firm claims publicly against real client evidence. SIIT judged five Melbourne conveyancers on service quality, experience, and responsiveness, not on the cheapest quote. Recognition from a neutral scorecard carries weight because nobody paid for the verdict. So for a buyer, the ranking works as a shortcut through a confusing market. SIIT joins a growing list of outlets covering Conveyed, from the Associated Press to Lawyers Weekly and Australian Conveyancer magazine.

Conveyed ranked first on every measure SIIT tested

SIIT placed Conveyed at the top of the list. The review points to verifiable proof:

• A qualified property lawyer reviews every file, not a clerk processing paperwork
• 118 Google reviews and a consistent award record
• More than 4,000 property transactions completed, a milestone the Associated Press reported in April 2026
• Founder Melissa Barlas, a property lawyer with over ten years of practice in Victoria and beyond
• Sole Practitioner of the Year in 2023, finalist in 2024 and 2025, plus the 2024 Most Influential Lawyers Award
• One point of contact, a free contract review, and a published 48-hour turnaround

What the ranking means for your next purchase

A lawyer on your file catches the risks a paperwork clerk misses. Hidden owners corporation levies, title defects, and unfair clauses surface before you sign, not after. Fixed pricing from $330 keeps the cost clear from the start. Conveyed also covers emergency matters like auctions and short settlements, then supports you after the deal closes. Behind the checks, Melissa Barlas brings steady, practical guidance when a matter turns urgent or complex.
