ROCHE Legal is about quality at an affordable and reasonable fixed price so that you get what you paid for and have peace of mind.
Searches are more relevant to a purchase rather than a sale. The price depends on the type of property you are buying and where it is located. This is because there are added costs for body corporate searches which aren’t relevant to houses, for example. In addition, the location impacts the the electricity and water entities which service the property which have different fees. Further, there may be some searches that are more worthwhile doing than others for full peace of mind, such as a main roads search in an area known to be undergoing significant redevelopment compared to an established neighbourhood home. Sometimes contracts are written in a way that renders undertaking some searches irrelevant.
At ROCHE Legal, we will review your contract and provide you with a list of all possible searches that can be undertaken and why you might wish to consider undertaking them. We also provide a list of recommended searches to undertake at a minimum. It would be wise to allow no less than $250 for a home purchase and $350 for an apartment purchase. These expenses are charged at cost ande not marked up by us.
When purchasing a new house you may be liable to pay Stamp Duty to the Office of State Revenue and if you are purchasing with cash Transfer Duty to the Queensland Titles Office. If you are purchasing through a lender, the lender will pay the Transfer Duty and pass this cost along to you as part of your loan agreement (note: Stamp Duty is separate to this).
