Most people prefer to obtain an upfront fixed fee quotation as well as details of the out-of-pocket expenses (or disbursements).
We reserve the right to provide a different quotation if the scope of the work is unusual, if the property is held by company title or old system title, or if the property is acquired by a self-managed superannuation fund or a custody trustee.
Non-residential properties, including farming properties, commercial properties, hotels, and development land, are individually quoted.
On rare occasions, disputes occur. If a dispute does occur and results in more than an hour’s work, the additional work will be separately charged at an hourly rate. We also charge separately, at an hourly rate, for non-routine taxation advice, including advice on capital gains tax, stamp duty, and land tax, including land tax clearances.
In New South Wales, agents are prohibited from listing a property for sale unless they hold a contract. We charge for the cost of preparing the contract and certificates and sending the contract to the agent.
Disbursements on a sale of land include documents that are required to be attached to the contract, including a title search, planning certificate, drainage diagram, and minor miscellaneous disbursements. If you instruct us to obtain a building certificate from the council, or are required to take out homeowners’ warranty insurance, these will incur additional expenses.
Disbursements for a purchase include stamp duty and fees associated with enquiries to Land Registry Services (LRS – previously the Titles Office or LPI) and other authorities (e.g. local council and water authorities) from which we may need to seek information. In some instances, we recommend that the purchaser obtain a building certificate.
There are some stamp duty concessions for newly constructed homes. Contact us if you believe you might be eligible.
