Why choose a solicitor for conveyancing?
A licensed conveyancer can handle the mechanics of a straightforward property transfer, but only a solicitor can provide legal advice. If the contract contains unusual special conditions, encumbrances, or planning issues, you need a solicitor who can advise you on the legal implications and negotiate on your behalf. Our team has been handling conveyancing matters across the Hunter Valley for over 35 years.
Fixed fee estimates provided upfront
We provide a clear written fee estimate before any work begins. Our fees are competitive and we explain every component of the cost including disbursements, search fees and transfer duty so there are no surprises at settlement.
