How this calculator works
Conveyancing fees are set individually by each solicitor or licensed conveyancer and vary by state and complexity. This calculator adds your entered professional fee and estimated disbursements, such as title searches, to show a total estimated conveyancing cost.
Estimate Australian conveyancing costs
Add the conveyancer or solicitor's professional fee to searches, certificates, settlement charges and other disbursements in the written quote. Enter GST consistently so it is not omitted or counted twice.
Costs vary by state, property type, transaction complexity and provider. Compare quotes with the same inclusions, because a low base fee may exclude common searches or additional work.
Keep conveyancing separate from other buying costs
Conveyancing is only one part of a property purchase. Stamp duty, building and pest inspections, loan fees, valuation, insurance, adjustments and moving costs may also need to be budgeted.
A calculator cannot assess a contract or identify legal risk. Obtain a current written quote and have a licensed professional review the transaction before you sign or waive conditions.
Frequently asked questions
What are disbursements?
Disbursements are out-of-pocket costs a conveyancer pays on your behalf, such as title searches, council certificates and lodgement fees.
Does this include stamp duty?
No, stamp duty is a separate government charge — use a dedicated stamp duty calculator alongside this one.
Should I get multiple quotes?
Yes, conveyancing fees vary significantly between practitioners, so comparing a few quotes can reveal meaningful savings.
