How to Reduce Your Conveyancing Costs?

While it’s essential to have a skilled conveyancer, there are a few tips you can follow to help reduce your conveyancing fees:

  • Get Multiple Quotes: Always ask for quotes from several conveyancers to compare fees. Be sure to check what’s included in the quote and whether there are any additional charges.
  • Choose a Fixed Fee: Some conveyancers offer fixed-fee pricing, which can help you avoid unexpected costs. This way, you’ll know exactly how much you’ll be paying.
  • Prepare Your Documents Early: The more organised you are, the less time your solicitor will spend on your case, which can reduce costs. Having documents like your identification and contract ready can save time and money.How to Get Started with River City Conveyancing

Conveyancing Fees in Queensland: What You Need to Know

When buying or selling property in Queensland, one of the key factors to consider is conveyancing fees. Understanding the costs involved in a property transaction can help you make informed decisions and avoid unexpected expenses down the road. At River City Conveyancing, we provide transparent and competitive conveyancing fees tailored to your needs, ensuring you receive the best value for professional legal services.

Read our Conveyancing Fees explainer to break down what you can expect from conveyancing fees in Queensland, how to choose a conveyancer or solicitor, and why River City Conveyancing stands out as your trusted partner in navigating the complex real estate market.

What Are Conveyancing Fees?

Conveyancing refers to the legal process of transferring ownership of property from one party to another. It involves various tasks such as reviewing contracts, conducting property searches, handling stamp duty, and lodging official documents with the relevant authorities. Conveyancers or solicitors manage these tasks to ensure everything is legally sound.

Conveyancing fees typically cover the legal work required to complete the property transaction. These fees can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the transaction, the type of property involved, and the level of service you require. In Queensland, conveyancing fees generally consist of two parts:

Professional Fees: The fee charged for the legal services provided. This can range from a flat rate to an hourly rate, depending on the conveyancer or solicitor.

Disbursements: These are out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the process, such as property searches, government fees, and stamp duty.


At River City Conveyancing, we pride ourselves on offering transparent conveyancing fees. We provide clear and upfront cost breakdowns, so you know exactly what to expect without any hidden surprises.

Factors That Affect Conveyancing Fees in Queensland


Several factors can influence the overall cost of conveyancing services in Queensland:

  • Type of Property: Residential properties generally have lower fees than commercial properties due to the additional complexity of commercial transactions. If you're buying or selling commercial property, it’s important to choose a solicitor experienced in handling these types of deals.
  • Location: The location of the property can impact search fees and other disbursements. For example, a property located in a metropolitan area like Brisbane may have different fees compared to a rural property in regional Queensland.
  • Transaction Complexity: If your transaction involves complex issues, such as family disputes, easements, or special conditions, the conveyancing process may take longer and require additional legal work with additional fees for some Solicitors.
  • Additional Services: Some conveyancers may offer extra services, such as property inspections or more extensive contract reviews, which can increase the overall cost.
