Settlement Fees
How much does a settlement cost?
We believe that you should only pay for the work that applies to you. We provide fixed settlement fees that are relevant to your particular circumstance.
If you’re buying and you don’t require finance, we reduce our fees because we are not required to deal with a bank.
If you’re a seller and you have no mortgage on your title, we don’t charge as much as if you do have a mortgage that we have to arrange to be discharged.
Our fees are fixed settlement fees listed below include GST and all services listed below.
If you have been quoted a price lower than ours, provide us with a copy of a genuine written quote and we may review and reduce our fee for you.
