    If I am to purchase interstate should I enage a solicitor in the city I am buying in or use my own and have them arrange the cheque handover?

    Hi

    We use a solicitor in the state we are buying in. The legalities vary from state to state so we don’t think its likely that a solicitor will be familiar with all state laws.

    I could be wrong, but I recall reading that in Qld you have to use a sol. from that state?

    You really do need to use a solicitor based in the state of purchase. The laws for each state vary and I don’t think solicitors like to handle settlements interstate.

    I can recommend a good solicitor depending on which state you are purchasing in. PM me.
