Buying a first home is one of the most exciting and significant moments in our lives. After spending countless weekends on the open home circuit ourselves and being pipped at the post too many times to recall, we know how amazing it feels when an offer is finally accepted!

OVERVIEW OF THE FIRM’S Fees FOR PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS
Lawyers generally charge by the hour, with different hourly rates depending on experience. It can be difficult to provide quotes or accurate fee estimates for certain areas of law due to being unable to quantify exactly what may be involved. Despite this, we believe there are certain areas of law where fixed fees can apply, or at the very least, accurate fee estimates.
