Conveyancing Fees Melbourne – Fixed Fee Conveyancing
Conveyancing Fees Melbourne: Transparent Pricing
Knowing your conveyancing fees in Melbourne upfront makes it easier to budget for your purchase or sale. At Easy Home Conveyancing we quote a fixed professional fee before we start work, so you know exactly what you will pay for our services – no hourly rates, no surprise invoices at settlement.
This guide explains how conveyancing fees in Melbourne are structured, what our fixed fee includes, the third-party costs (disbursements) you should expect, and the hidden costs to watch for when comparing quotes.
What Is Fixed Fee Conveyancing?
Fixed fee conveyancing means your professional fee is agreed in writing at the start of the matter. Whether your contract needs one phone call or twenty, the fee does not change for a standard transaction. It gives you certainty and removes the risk of costs blowing out if settlement is delayed or negotiations take longer than expected.
Our fixed fees are available for residential conveyancing, off-the-plan purchases and many commercial property transactions.
What Our Conveyancing Fee Includes
- Review of the Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendor Statement
- Advice on special conditions, cooling-off rights and finance clauses
- Preparation or review of transfer of land documents
- Calculation of land transfer duty and government concessions
- Liaising with your lender, real estate agent and the other party's representative
- Preparing settlement adjustments for council rates, water and owners corporation fees
- Electronic settlement through PEXA and notification of change of ownership
- Unlimited phone and email updates throughout the matter
Disbursements: Costs Outside the Professional Fee
Disbursements are fees charged by government bodies and service providers, not by your conveyancer. They are passed on at cost and commonly include:
- Title and plan searches from Land Use Victoria
- Council land information certificate and water authority certificates
- Owners corporation certificate (for units, townhouses and apartments)
- Planning, roads and building permit searches where required
- PEXA electronic lodgement and settlement fees
- Verification of identity (VOI)
Disbursements vary by property type and council, which is why we itemise them in your quote.
Hidden Costs to Watch For
A very low headline price can hide extra charges. When comparing conveyancing fees in Melbourne, check whether the quote includes:
- Extra charges for contract reviews or special conditions
- Fees for extending or rescheduling settlement
- Charges for phone calls, emails or printing
- Mortgage or finance documentation fees
- Administration or “file opening” fees
Our quotes are written in plain English so you can compare like for like. You can read more in our guide to affordable conveyancing in Melbourne.
Government Costs You Should Budget For
Separately from conveyancing fees, buyers in Victoria usually pay land transfer duty (stamp duty) and a land registration fee. First home buyers may be eligible for a duty exemption or concession. Check current thresholds with the State Revenue Office Victoria – we calculate these for you as part of our service.

Conveyancing Fees Melbourne FAQs
Conveyancing fees in Melbourne depend on the property type and whether you are buying or selling. Most transactions are made up of a professional fee plus disbursements. We provide a fixed fee quote so you know the total before you commit.
Licensed conveyancers specialise in property transfers and often charge less than a full-service law firm for standard transactions. For complex disputes you may still need a property lawyer.
Our professional fee is generally paid at settlement and can be deducted from the settlement funds. Some disbursements, such as searches, may be payable when they are ordered.
For owner-occupiers, conveyancing fees are usually not deductible. For investment properties, they generally form part of the cost base for capital gains tax. Speak with your accountant for advice.
No. Our fixed fee covers a standard transaction even if the settlement date moves. We will tell you in advance if any unusual additional work is needed.
