How quote requests will work
One request, compared on the things that actually differ between quotes: the professional fee, the disbursements and what the fee covers.
Quote requests are not open yet
Nothing can be sent from this page at the moment, so there is no form to fill in. While that is the case:
- Work out the duty first with the stamp duty calculator.
- Ask two or three firms for a written quote, and compare them with the fees guide.
- Check each firm's licence or practising certificate on your state regulator's public register.
Before you ask anyone to quote
Work out the duty first with the stamp duty calculator. It is set by the state, not the firm, and knowing it tells you how much of the settlement statement a quote can actually affect.
Then ask each firm the same questions, from the fees guide: what the fixed fee covers, which disbursements are estimates, who does the work, their licence or practising certificate number, and what you owe if the contract does not go ahead.
