Conveyancing for the property you are selling
At Colville Johnstone Lawyers, your interests are of paramount importance to us, so regardless whether you are buying or selling, our dedicated, experienced and friendly team will provide you with a fixed price fee that is not only very competitive but with no hidden costs and in language that is easy to understand.
Our conveyancing quotation is broken down into three (3) parts, that being the amount of fees for the conveyancing services (Part A), the cost of the searches and external service providers (Part B) and a nominal amount for our office incidentals (Part C).
PART A: THE CONVEYANCING SERVICES
If you elect to engage us, our conveyancing team will obtain your instructions to ensure that your rights are protected and that your sale will proceed with the minimum amount of fuss.
During the conveyancing process, we will work alongside you, your Real Estate Agent, liaise with the Purchaser’s conveyancing team, contact your Bank to ensure that we will be provided with the necessary funds to complete settlement (in circumstances where you have a mortgage over the property and require the bank to provide us with a release of that mortgage) and most importantly, keep you fully appraised of matters that arise throughout the conveyancing process.
Colville Johnstone Lawyers do not charge a pre-contractual review fee. This means that you can obtain our free advice on what clauses should be inserted into the contract before you enter into the contract, to protect your rights.
WE GUARANTEE A FIXED PRICE FOR A STANDARD SALE CONVEYANCE OF $410.00(PLUS GST).
Unless your sale has complexities outside that of a standard conveyance, no other conveyancing fee will be incurred.
PART B: THE SEARCHES & EXTERNAL SERVICE PROVIDER FEES
Colville Johnstone Lawyers do not invoice a surcharge on any search fee or on the cost passed to us by our external service providers. In doing so, Colville Johnstone Lawyers simply pass on the costs to you.
The below search and external service provide fee is the only cost that will be required for the sale of your property:
| Item | Description / Provides | Fee |
| Title Search | Title particulars, ownership details and encumbrances. | $23.50 |
| External Settlement Agent | Attend settlement to exchange cheques and relevant documents. | $60.00 |
Unless you require additional searches or the sale of your property is complex and outside that of a standard conveyance, no other searches will be required.
You may request we instruct our external settlement agent to deposit settlement proceeds on the date of settlement into your nominated bank account. If so, we will again simply pass on the cost to you.
ESTIMATE FOR THE COST OF YOUR STANDARD SEARCHES: $83.50 (PLUS GST).
PART C: OFFICE INCIDENTALS
Colville Johnstone Lawyers do not invoice their clients for every telephone call, letter, standard postage (excluding Registered and Express Post), facsimile or email that is required to be made or received during the conveyancing process. Rather, Colville Johnstone Lawyers invoice a client a nominal fixed fee amount for such attendances. This allows our clients to feel free to keep communications open with their conveyancing team without the fear of being charged for each and every attendance.
| Item | Amount |
| Office Incidentals | $60.00 |
| Filing Opening Fee | $30.00 |
WE GUARANTEE A FIXED PRICE FOR OUR OFFICE INCIDENTALS PACKAGE OF $90.00(PLUS GST).
