Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a solicitor or a conveyancer when buying a house?

In Queensland, both can handle property transactions, but solicitors can provide legal advice on complex issues, especially useful for contract negotiation, trusts, or unusual clauses.

Yes. We regularly assist clients with off-the-plan contracts, investment properties, and SMSF or trust purchases.
