Overview of Queensland Conveyancing Costs

Residential
Conveyancing Costs​

In Queensland, buying a home incurs around $700–$1,200 in fixed professional fees (solicitor or conveyancer).
Selling a home is cheaper – $600–$900 in professional fees – because fewer searches are needed.
Fees are generally fixed upfront for standard transactions, providing cost certainty.

Disbursements
& Extras​

Searches and outlays are usually additional costs and range from $300–$700 for a standard house purchase.

❗
Always check if the quoted “fixed fee” includes outlays or if they are added separately.

Inclusions
(Extra Expenses)​

Fixed quotes usually cover all standard legal work (contract review, document prep, liaising with banks and agents, and settlement handling).
Some firms advertise one price that includes routine items like contract reviews and communications.
However, most quotes exclude government and search fees.

Commercial
& Land Transactions

Conveyancing for commercial properties is more complex and priced higher. Few firms publish fixed rates for commercial deals; when they do, the fees are greater.
Vacant land purchases/sales are charged at the same fixed rate as residential houses, unless the land is part of a larger development or has special conditions.

Top 10 First-Home Buyer Conveyancing Questions Organised by Timeline

This question arises early as first-home buyers begin preparing for their property search and need to understand their legal representation options.

The cooling-off period begins the day you receive a copy of the signed contract and lasts five business days. If you terminate during this period, the seller can deduct up to 0.25% of the purchase price from your deposit as a penalty.

The deposit is paid when the contract is signed and is held in trust by the real estate agent.

In Queensland, the purchaser bears the insurable risk from 5pm the following business day after signing the contract. An insurance arrangement is urgent within the first 1-2 days.

Searches occur during the 2-4 week conditional period and include local authority searches, property surveys, and various title investigations.

The information is needed early in the conditional period to facilitate finance approval and legal processes, within the first 1-2 weeks.

The standard building and pest contract clause in Queensland allows 7 to 14 days from contract signing to complete building and pest inspections. You must notify your conveyancer by the 14th day whether you’re satisfied with the results.

The standard finance clause provides 14-21 days from the contract date to obtain unconditional finance approval. Conditional approval is not sufficient – you must have clear, unconditional approval.

For properties contracted after May 1, 2025, substantial transfer duty savings are available.

Settlement occurs 30-90 days after contract signing, with 4-6 weeks being most common. On settlement day, your conveyancer coordinates the transfer of funds, title documents, and keys. In Queensland, electronic settlements must occur by 4pm, with 30-minute rollover windows if delays occur.
