General
Our Knowledge Centre contains lots of information which you may find interesting and useful. However, it only provides a general summary of the matters set out and it is not comprehensive. The information in the Knowledge Centre is not legal advice and it should not be relied on as advice. If you need or would like advice specific to your particular circumstances please visit our Advice Centre. At the moment, Clarity is Victorian based and the information in the Knowledge Centre is primarily for Victorian property buyers.
Although we aim to ensure the content in the Knowledge Centre is always accurate and up-to-date, there may be errors or other reasons which could affect the currency or accuracy of information.
Similarly, our articles, though current at the time of writing in Victoria, may over time no longer reflect the current position of the law. Using the general information on our website, does not create a solicitor-client relationship between us.
Our Fees
Our fees are shown in our Advice Centre and Transfer Centre (Fees) and are inclusive of Good and Services Tax (GST) and most out of pocket expenses (Disbursements).
Once you register in our Advice Centre or Transfer Centre, we will also send you a costs disclosure statement which sets out our Fees.
Disbursements which are included in our Fees cover most property and titles searches which we need in order to complete your transfer.
However, the following Disbursements are required in some transactions only. If you need any of the items below as part of your transaction, then you will incur additional expenses:
- Owners Corporation Certificate; (where there is an Owners Corporation);
- Company Search; (where vendor or purchaser is a company);
- Plan of Sub Division (if necessary or requested by you);
- Nomination Documents (if you nominate a substitute or additional purchaser);
- More than one title search
Our Fees are designed to meet the conveyance cost to transfer your property to you on your scheduled settlement date. Our Fees are payable on or before your scheduled settlement date, even if you do not settle for any reason.
If you do not complete settlement on the scheduled date or if you otherwise default under your contract of sale, our Fees will increase to take into account any further work that is required and we will give you an estimate of our increased fees at that time.
