Conveyancing solicitors in Redcliffe

Our peninsula office is at 15 Fortune Street, Scarborough QLD 4020, about five minutes from Redcliffe, seen by appointment. Most Redcliffe files never need a visit — settlement is electronic and identity verification is done remotely — but you are welcome to come in, and we will visit at home if getting out is difficult.

Not necessarily, but you need the records. What matters is whether the work is finished, whether it was paid for out of the sinking fund or a special levy, and whether any further stage has been voted on. A special levy struck before settlement can still land on you afterwards depending on the timing, so we check the minutes and the levy notices before your finance date.

You need the grant of probate before the property can be transferred or sold with a clear title, and a transmission application to put you on the title as executor. We can list and contract before the grant issues in many cases, provided settlement is timed to follow it. We handle the probate and the conveyance together so the estate is not paying two firms or waiting on a hand-off.

Parts of the Redcliffe foreshore are. The overlays affect insurance cost, what you can build and, in some cases, what a lender will lend against. We order the relevant council and state searches and tell you plainly what they show while you still have a finance condition to rely on.

Coastside Law does. We are a solicitor-run Queensland practice with offices at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach and on the Redcliffe Peninsula, acting for buyers and sellers in Redcliffe on fixed fees ($990 for a sale, $1,499 for a purchase, both inclusive of GST). Call 0488 340 853 or send us the contract before you sign it.

Our fixed professional fee is $990 inclusive of GST for a residential sale and $1,499 inclusive of GST for a residential purchase. Searches, registration fees and transfer duty are additional third-party or government charges, and we set them out in writing before you engage us.

Queensland does not licence non-lawyer conveyancers the way New South Wales and Victoria do; a property transfer here is legal work done by a law practice. The difference shows up when a file turns awkward — a caveat, a deceased estate on the title, a family transfer with a duty question, a contract that needs terminating. We deal with all of it in-house rather than referring you on.

Since 1 August 2025 a seller must give the buyer a completed Form 2 seller disclosure statement, with the prescribed certificates attached, before the contract is signed. Get it wrong and the buyer may be able to terminate right up to settlement. We prepare the Form 2 for sellers and check it carefully for buyers.

No. Queensland residential settlements run electronically through PEXA, so there is no cheque handover. You complete a verification of identity and sign a client authorisation, and the file runs from there. Our peninsula office at 15 Fortune Street, Scarborough QLD 4020 is available by appointment if you would rather meet in person.
