At a basic level, a property lawyer in Brisbane should have all the same qualities as any lawyer, namely, to be your translator of legal terms and protect you from making legal mistakes.
Our Brisbane conveyancing solicitors’ team meets this criterion, like many others. But what if you want more? We consider ourselves the best conveyancers because our ultimate goal is to make your life better. This goes beyond the basic list of conveyancing services. The Brisbane property market is one of Australia’s most dynamic markets and often requires a personal touch. We are ready to talk. This is what separates the cheap conveyancer from the best conveyancer.
Yes, we do. In addition to the main office in Woolloongabba, we have four offices in Cleveland and Gold Coast. The key idea behind these offices is that our Brisbane conveyancing solicitors can easily communicate with our clients in person.

There are no conveyancing solicitors in Brisbane who will deny you if you don’t have a real estate agent. A property lawyer or Brisbane conveyancer can act as a deposit holder for you.

Our Brisbane conveyancing team is trained to take care of all contractual requirements, even in the absence of a real estate agent. Our conveyancers will keep you updated at every stage, and our solicitors will step in if any complex legal issues arise.
A cheap conveyancer in Brisbane would charge a $500 conveyancing fee, while the most expensive Brisbane conveyancing costs are around $1400. GM Law’s Brisbane conveyancing prices start at $645.

We suggest, therefore, being very careful of those who give you a single price.

This issue is not relevant to Brisbane conveyancing, as, in Queensland, only licensed conveyancers can transfer property. However, it’s important to understand that both a Brisbane conveyancer and a Brisbane solicitor may be involved in your transaction, depending on the complexity. While a conveyancer handles the core of the conveyancing process, a solicitor may be required for more intricate legal issues. You can read more about this in our article here.

In general, yes, but conveyancing solicitors in Brisbane work with foreigners differently than with residents. If you are a non-resident, you need to have the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval.
Also, you may only be able to only buy property that is under construction. This is one of the measures to protect the domestic market. Here you can find out more information about conveyancing for foreigners, and our Brisbane conveyancers are experienced in navigating such requirements. When you engage our Brisbane conveyancing team, your solicitor or conveyancer will make sure your contract meets legal obligations. Conveyancing in Brisbane for foreigners is a specialized service, and our conveyancing solicitors are ready to assist.
No one is telling you no, but the need for an inspection is listed on the Queensland government website, so if you’re conveyancing in Brisbane, chances are you can’t transfer ownership without it. One way or another, the opposing party may require a pest inspection and you will have to do so.
From the Brisbane Conveyancing Solicitors‘ point of view, it is very important to include the pest inspection point in the contract. Conveyancing in Brisbane is arranged so that you sign a contract first, and a pest inspection can take place weeks, or even months, later. Therefore, it is important to prescribe this in the contract, otherwise, if insects are found in your future home, you may have problems terminating the contract. We always advise our Brisbane conveyancers and solicitors to be proactive in managing these risks during the conveyancing process.
You can do it and you will pay less for it. There are several scenarios for the exchange of property between relatives, but keep in mind that Brisbane conveyancing has its specifics associated with transfer duty: even if you, as relatives, don’t pay each other money to buy or sell property, you still have to pay tax based on the market value of that property. Our team of experienced Brisbane conveyancers and solicitors will explain how these taxes apply and ensure that the conveyancing documentation complies with Queensland legislation. It is important to have a licensed conveyancer or solicitor manage this process to avoid complications. At GM Law, we’ve helped hundreds of Brisbane families with intra-family conveyancing transactions, guiding them smoothly through all steps.
Sometimes the buyer can fail with the deposit payment because of a bank mistake, or the seller fails to evict the tenant, and all such issues are part of the Brisbane Conveyancing Solicitor’s concerns. Technically, if you didn’t meet the terms of the contract, then the opposite party can request a penalty from you, prescribed in the contract. But as a rule, both parties are interested in closing the deal, so they are usually ready for negotiation. The best Brisbane Conveyancing Solicitor or conveyancer is the person who helps you with these negotiations in such difficult situations. Our Brisbane conveyancers and solicitors are highly experienced in resolving contract termination issues with minimal stress to the client.
You can simply send us a contract by email. Most of the conveyancing happens online. Things like pest inspections or house key handovers require your presence, but in other respects, you can easily rely on online communication. Doing all the paperwork online is one of our Brisbane conveyancing principles. Our team of Brisbane conveyancers and solicitors is trained to handle digital documentation efficiently, allowing you to manage the entire conveyancing process without visiting an office. Whether you need a solicitor or a conveyancer in Brisbane, we provide top-tier online service.
Yes, in Queensland, first-home buyers can avoid transfer duty if the price of the house is below $550,000. The key point of our Brisbane conveyancing offices is to keep track of such nuances. Our team of Brisbane conveyancers and solicitors ensures that all eligible concessions are claimed for first-home buyers. Conveyancers with deep knowledge of Brisbane property law will make sure you don’t miss any benefits. That’s why having a conveyancer or conveyancing solicitor on your side can be a game-changer for first-time buyers.
No, you can buy real estate freely. Although the laws of Queensland differ from those of other states, there are no restrictions on citizens of other states. However, because Brisbane conveyancing can differ from practices in other parts of Australia, it is crucial to work with a local conveyancer or Brisbane solicitor. Our conveyancing experts will help you navigate documentation and local legal requirements so the transaction is smooth and fully compliant. Even from interstate, our Brisbane conveyancers can assist you through every step remotely.
