How Much Does Conveyancing Cost in Melbourne & Victoria?

Need a more complex transaction?

Some property matters—such as commercial properties, off-the-plan purchases, deceased estates, subdivisions or other non-standard transactions—may incur additional professional fees. We'll always disclose these upfront in your fixed written quote before you decide whether to proceed.

What's Included In Your Professional Fee?

Our professional fee covers the legal work and coordination required to manage your conveyancing matter from start to finish. The exact services may vary depending on your transaction, but your fixed fee includes the core work needed to achieve a successful settlement.

Understanding Disbursements

Disbursements are third-party costs that arise during the conveyancing process. These are payments made to government authorities and external service providers on your behalf and are separate from our professional fee.

For most standard residential transactions, disbursements typically range between $200–$500, although the final amount depends on your property and the searches or certificates required.

It’s best to engage a conveyancer as early as possible.

If you’re buying, you should ideally seek advice before signing the Contract of Sale or making an unconditional commitment.

If you’re selling, engaging a conveyancer early allows sufficient time to prepare the required legal documentation before your property is sold.

For property transfers, it’s also recommended to obtain advice before signing or lodging any transfer documents.

Our professional fee covers the core legal work and coordination required to manage your conveyancing matter, including:

  • Preparation and management of relevant conveyancing documents
  • Management of your transaction through to settlement
  • Liaison with your lender, broker, real estate agent and the other party’s representative
  • Preparation of settlement adjustments where applicable
  • Regular updates throughout your matter
  • Direct access to your dedicated conveyancer

The exact work involved will depend on whether you’re buying, selling or transferring property.

Yes. Depending on your transaction, your total cost may also include:

  • Additional professional fees for non-standard or more complex matters
  • Disbursements paid to external providers
  • Government charges
  • Separate optional services, such as a pre-purchase contract review

Your quote will clearly separate these costs so you can easily distinguish between Haitch Conveyancing’s professional fees and costs payable to third parties or government authorities.

Additional professional fees apply where a transaction involves work beyond a standard residential conveyance.

Examples include:

  • Commercial property
  • Off-the-plan property
  • Deceased estates
  • Subdivisions
  • Other non-standard or more complex matters

When you request a quote, we’ll assess your transaction and clearly outline any applicable additional professional fees before you decide whether to proceed.

Additional professional fees are based on the type of transaction and the additional legal or administrative work required.

For example, commercial properties and off-the-plan purchases involve extra documentation, conditions and legal processes compared with a standard residential conveyance.

Your written quote will explain any applicable additional professional fees before work begins.

Disbursements are third-party costs incurred during the conveyancing process.

These costs are charged by government authorities and external service providers. Haitch Conveyancing may pay them on your behalf and pass the costs on to you separately from our professional fee.

Common examples include:

  • Title searches
  • Property certificates
  • Verification of identity services
  • Land registration fees
  • PEXA electronic settlement fees
  • Other searches or certificates required for your transaction

For many standard residential transactions, disbursements are typically estimated between $200 and $500.

The final amount depends on your property, transaction type and the searches or certificates required.

Your written quote will include an estimate of the expected disbursements wherever possible.

No. Stamp duty, land registration fees and other government charges are separate from our professional conveyancing fee. These costs are payable to the relevant government authority and vary depending on the property, transaction and your individual circumstances.
No. PEXA fees are third-party electronic settlement costs and form part of your disbursements. Where applicable, they will be shown separately in your quote rather than being included in Haitch Conveyancing’s professional fee.

The professional fee may also vary depending on the property value and whether the transaction includes additional complexity.

We’ll assess your matter and provide a fixed written quote based on the work required.

Your payment arrangements will be outlined in your written quote and costs agreement. Depending on your transaction, professional fees and disbursements may be payable before settlement or accounted for during the settlement process. We’ll explain the payment arrangements before work begins.
If your transaction does not proceed, any fees payable will depend on the work already completed and the terms of your costs agreement. For example, work may already have been undertaken preparing documents, communicating with other parties or progressing your matter.
