Purchasing a new home is both an exciting and one of the
biggest financial endeavours you can make. Some of the things this purchase
covers will include:
-
The cost of the home
-
Real Estate fees
-
Conveyancing costs
-
Stamp Duty
-
Transfer Lodgement Fees
-
Insurance on your new property
When choosing your
conveyancer be sure to shop around!
Within a Conveyance there will be additional costs incurred
by your conveyancer often referred to as “Disbursements” these disbursements
will include, amongst other things, the cost of ordering Searches and lodging
documents on your behalf.
Some firms will provide a quote that does not outline these
costs, making their services appear much cheaper than they really are! Some
Solicitors even use disbursements to add costs which should be included in
their professional fee, for example the cost of attending settlement. What’s
worse is that it can often be difficult to dispute these costs as you may not
become aware of them until after your conveyancer has already been paid out at
settlement and has sent you an invoice.
So Remember to ASK
the QUESTION……. ‘WHAT DOES THAT INCLUDE?’
When shopping around for quotes on Conveyancing services it
is important to get a quote that includes all GST, additional service fees and
disbursements likely to be incurred in your conveyance. Any additional fees incurred along the way
should be discussed with you prior to being incurred so that you know exactly
what to expect.
This allows you to compare apples with apples and ensure
that you are getting the best value for money out of your Conveyancer.
BE INFORMED AND DON’T
GET STUNG
