Hi everybody - George Sourris, Empire Legal.

Today's topic: Conveyancing fees in Queensland, and how the experience differs. 

Hey guys, I'm George Sourris, the Legal Practice Director of Empire Legal.  At Empire Legal, we believe in being transparent about the cost of conveyancing. This blog is here to help you understand why conveyancing with us might cost a little bit more than some other firms, and why that extra investment is worth every dollar. 

At Empire Legal, you're not just getting a single file handler, you're getting a team. Every transaction is supported by an experienced Practice Manager and Senior Lawyer, who are actively involved in the process. That means your property transaction is handled with the care and expertise that it deserves.

At Empire, you aren't treated like a product on a conveyor belt. You're not just a number. Every single client gets a dedicated file handler to look after them, and our file handlers all have a dedicated assistant, so you'll have more support than you will know what to do with. 

Fun fact: our team's combined experience adds up to over 100+ years, but we don't look a day over 40.

We're not here to be the cheapest, and honestly, you should be cautious if you're considering a cheap conveyancer.

A low cost provider often means compromises - limited support, inexperienced staff, or hidden fees.

Before you make a decision, take the time to Google the firm you're considering and read their reviews. If they don't have a 5 star average, that's a huge red flag.   At Empire Legal, we've earned over 2,500+ five star Google reviews from clients who appreciate our quality of service and the peace of mind that we provide. These reviews are a testament to the trust we've built with each and every client, one property at a time.  

We operate on a fixed fee basis. No hidden costs, no surprises. You'll know exactly what you're paying from the start, so you can plan with confidence.

And of course, let's not forget our referral partners.  Unlike some firms, we do not pay kickbacks to referrers. When a broker or agent recommends Empire Legal, it's because they trust us to deliver an exceptional level of service, not because they're being incentivised.  If your conveyancer is paying for referrals, that's a huge red flag.

Think of us as the TRUSTED choice that you'd send your family to when they're buying or selling a property in Queensland.  Over the past 7 years, we've helped over 10,000+ clients move in or out of their homes across Queensland.

And as the Legal Practice Director of the firm, I've been voted onto the PEXA Member Advisory Council for the past 3 years, and was a top 5 finalist for the Queensland Law Society's Lawyer of the Year Award 2024.

If you can't tell, we're property obsessed. Oh, and let's not forget those degrees (Bachelor of Laws, Bachelor of Information Technology and Postgraduate Diploma in Practical Legal Training) that took me 7 years at university to get, that prove that I know what I'm talking about. Guys, you need to keep that in mind when you're picking the person looking after your deals. You've got to pick a trusted team.

At Empire Legal, we believe that conveyancing is more than just paperwork. It's about trust, transparency and doing things the right way. So, when you choose us, you're choosing a team committed to excellence that genuinely care about YOU and your experience. If you're buying or selling property, let's make the process simple, sunny and smooth sailing.

Did you notice I didn't mention stressful? We've deliberately engineered our experience to delete stress from the equation. Pick a conveyancing team you can trust. Get in touch with us today to experience the Empire Legal difference.
