Conveyancing Fees (updated November 2026)

Buying and selling property can be a complicated business. But conveyancing fees don’t have to be. We offer low cost fixed fee conveyancing and complete transparency so that you aren’t hit with any nasty surprises.

What are average conveyancing fees?

Conveyancing fees in Victoria, including Melbourne and regional areas, falls within a range of $900 to $2,500. The variation in fees is largely dependent on whether services are provided by a conveyancer or a solicitor.

Transparent pricing

Your total cost at a glance

Your conveyancing cost is made up of three clear parts. We explain them upfront, so you know what to expect.

Fixed professional fee — $900 + GST:
One fixed professional fee for buying or selling, even if unexpected issues arise during your matter.
External disbursements — charged at cost:
Third-party costs such as title searches, certificates, and government fees are passed on at the amount charged to us.
Additional services — only if needed:
If your matter needs a service outside a standard conveyance, we will clearly explain and confirm the cost before proceeding.

No hidden surprises.
Your fixed professional fee is confirmed at the beginning of your matter, while any applicable external costs or optional services are explained separately.

Our basic fee

Our basic conveyancing fee is only $900 plus GST, for both buying and selling. It doesn’t matter how simple or complex your matter is, our basic fee remains fixed. This applies even if unexpected issues arise (e.g. title defects, vendor delays, multiple transfers). Please refer to our services for a description of what’s included in our basic fee.

The only exception to this is if you require a conveyancing service listed below that incurs an additional fee.

We charge extra for any disbursements required to complete the conveyancing process on your behalf (such as purchasing property certificates or paying Titles Office fees). Please see our list of disbursements to see more details.

We keep our fees low to make our service more affordable for home buyers and sellers.
