    Hi

    Does any one know a good firm/person for conveyencing in Queensland (I'm form Vic) . They need to know how to handle sale of property inside  SMSF structure.

    Also does any one know what would be a fair cost. I have a quote for $1200 + GST for legals (which is on the high side but not out of the ball park) and another $1200 + GST for outlays. It is a newly built apartment, so I figuere the dispersements costs seem really high.

    Is this other people's exp ion Queensland.

    regards

    I believe that Convenyancing Works do a good job and are the cheapest in Qld. They are part of the Government I believe but have never used them .. I will be approaching them to do my transfer if I can get a buyer. I have been told they are in the area of $900+.

    Check them out.

    Sorry this is clearly not true Conveyancing Works are part of the Government I believe.

    They are a privately run company and $900 is not cheap.

    My Solicitor who has bought and sold over 200 properties for me charges $665 + GST.

    Sorry if I offended you Mr Taylor. I was trying to be of some help to the person with the problem.  I did contact Conveyancing Works in 2004 about a transfer and the cost was $360 but I have been told that it is much higher now.

    I will not comment any more as I know nothing.

    Nothing affends me but i was just pointing out they are a privately run conveyancing company and not part of the Qld Govt.

    Dont want to give potential buyers / sellers the wrong impression.

    Ring around and get some other quotes.  If the $1,200.00 is just for costs, seems on the high side to me.  If its with outlays included, would probably be quite good.

    IMHO

    I personally would check out your local solicitors,  from my experience they are between $600 and $900. 

      I have had previous experience with Conveyancy Works and when things go all ok they are great but don't expect any assistance from them if things are not.  I purchased a property a few years back and on inspection the day prior to settlement I found the property in a trashed state (disgruntled tenants).  Conveyancy Works would not let me speak to their solicitor (all their work is done by *office staff`)  and it ended up costing me $5k in repairs.   

    Cheers Donna
