Frequently Asked Questions
How long does conveyancing in Cairns usually take?
Timeframes vary. A straightforward sale or purchase often closes within 6–8 weeks of contract exchange, but factors like finance approval, building and pest reports, special conditions, or council matters can extend timelines. Contact our solicitors in Cairns for a tailored estimate.
What’s the difference between a conveyancer and a solicitor in Cairns?
Both help with property transactions, but solicitors can advise on broader legal issues that sometimes link to property matters. Our team provides conveyancing services through experienced lawyers, so you get both transactional expertise and legal knowledge when needed.
Do you offer fixed fee conveyancing?
Yes, we provide transparent fixed fee options for many transactions so you know the cost upfront. Ask for a quote and we’ll outline what’s included and any situations that might incur additional costs.
I’m selling – what does a seller's conveyancer do?
A seller’s conveyancer prepares the contract of sale, advises on title and disclosure obligations, handles settlement statements and liaises with the buyer’s representatives to ensure a smooth handover on settlement day.
What searches do you run for buyers?
We conduct the essential government and local authority searches to identify issues like rates, easements, zoning or body corporate rules. If anything concerning appears, we’ll explain the options and next steps as your buyer's conveyancer.

Why Choose Us?
I was referred by a friend to use Preston law when buying an investment property recently and I have to say Madison has been absolutely fantastic to deal with. Her accessibility and communication has been excellent throughout and she’s made a complex process really easy for me.
Madison was extremely professional and helpful throughout the whole process. She answered all my questions and explained everything I asked not having purchased a property before I was in the dark about the processes involved. I would have no hesitation recommending Preston Law to family and friends in the future.
Thank you for all your help with this transaction….you have made it really easy for us and I’ve always been completely assured that you were always on the case. I will have no hesitation recommending you to anyone I come across looking for help with a house purchase. Cheers!
My partner and I used Preston Law in relation to our first home purchase. We found them to be very experienced, helpful and supportive. They worked very quick and had great communication & explained things in a way we could easily understand. Extremely knowledgeable and very professional, the girls answering the phones greeted us with enthusiasm and kindness. Would recommend them 100 times over and appreciate what they have done for us. Will definitely be using them in future.
We are delighted with the services that Morgan Currie rendered over the last couple of months with our recent purchase in Cairns. This was our first property buying experience outside of Victoria, and Ms Currie made it so easy and seamless with her outstanding communication and content sharing at every critical juncture of this entire process. It was refreshing to interact with such an exceptional person, who is genuinely interested in their needs, circumstances and preferences.
