Recommendations for a conveyancer in Melbourne?

[lunne]

Hoping to buy my first house in Australia and am looking for a Melbourne-based conveyancer. Any recommendations?

I'm hunting for $1.1-1.4M properties, so I hope to find someone with a good reputation and transparent pricing in the $1- 1.7k range.

Given the likelihood of being unsuccessful at auction, ideally, I'd like someone who offers multiple pre-sale CoS reviews as part of the package.

Thank you!

As a matter of interest, where else have you bought houses?

In Europe, where I’m from.

Given that conveyancing doesn’t really exist outside of common law and because of strict regulation in many European countries, legal advice is not something that is common for a CoS, so it’s new territory for me.

Arn’t we a frequent flyer forum?

You’re right, but I imagine many of us appreciate getting insights into other subjects. The wine and financial recommendation threads seem pretty popular.

Mod, feel free to move this thread to another category if need be.

We used David Henderson Legal for a recent transaction where we didn’t need to fly over to finalise the transaction. I was happy having the extra legal advice we needed when the sales agent was not too helpful.

Yes, but we do have this existing ‘Other Finance Discussion’ which may suit the enquiry.

I used Klonis and Kirby and they have fixed pricing!

We used Ashmor Legal back in 2015 and were very happy.
