The legal procedure of transferring ownership of real property from one person to another is called conveyancing. This includes contract preparation and review, searches, conditions and disclosures, key dates and timeframes and registration of the transfer with Titles Queensland in Queensland.
The Property Law Act 2023 (Qld), which came into effect on 1 August 2025, introduced a mandatory seller disclosure regime that has changed how every residential property transaction in this state begins.
Contract review, advice on finance and building inspection conditions, searches, settlement coordination and registration of your title at Titles Queensland.
Contract and seller disclosure preparation in line with the new Queensland seller disclosure regime, management of buyer condition due dates, and coordination of settlement and discharge of mortgage.
A targeted review of the contract you have been provided, with written advice on what to negotiate, what to accept, and where you may be exposed. With the new Sellers Disclosure regime, this is an essential pre-contract signing step to ensure that your rights, whether you are buying or selling, are adequately protected.
Title searches, council records, body corporate searches where applicable, and the broader suite of due diligence searches required or requested to assist you to complete a competent property transaction in Queensland.

We provide conveyancing services across Brisbane and South East Queensland from our office in Strathpine. Our property conveyancing Brisbane team regularly acts for clients buying and selling in all areas of Queensland.
Most conveyancing in Queensland is now done electronically via PEXA, as such, your conveyancing lawyer does not need to be situated in the same suburb as the property.
For standard residential conveyancing, A.L.F Lawyers charges on a fixed fee basis. This means our legal fees are agreed in writing before you engage us, with no hourly billing for the conveyancing process itself.
Conveyancing costs in Queensland generally fall into three components. The first is legal fees, which are fixed for a standard transaction. The second is statutory fees, including the Titles Queensland registration fee and, for buyers, stamp duty. The third is disbursements, which cover the cost of the searches required to complete due diligence.
When choosing a conveyancer in Brisbane, it is important to consider both the legal fees and the additional costs involved in completing the transaction.
A standard residential settlement in Queensland typically occurs 30 to 60 days after the contract date, with the exact period agreed between the parties in the contract itself. During that period there are several critical dates: the cooling-off period for buyers, the finance clause date (if applicable), the building and pest inspection date (if applicable), and any other special condition dates set by the parties.
Where a transaction is unconditional, settlement can occur in as little as 14 days. More complex transactions, particularly those involving off-the-plan contracts or commercial property, can take significantly longer.
Most standard REIQ contracts also include a settlement extension provision, which gives either party a safety net of up to 5 business days to extend settlement where needed. We cover this in more detail on our buyer and seller service pages.
Each party pays their own legal fees. The buyer engages and pays their own conveyancer or solicitor, and the seller does the same. Buyers also typically pay for the searches conducted on their behalf and the statutory transfer registration fee. Sellers pay the costs associated with discharging their mortgage and producing the seller disclosure documentation now required under the Property Law Act 2023 (Qld).
Choosing an experienced conveyancer in Brisbane that property buyers and sellers can rely on can also help ensure the transaction is properly managed from contract through to settlement.
