    We recently purchased an off-plan 2 bedroom unit in Sydney that will be ready for settlement in mid 2009. Our solicitor has quoted $6000 for the conveyancing (starting with processing the purchase contract & deposit , review of all subsequent documentation as development progresses and final settlement). Are we being ripped off? Can anyone suggest a good conveyancing solicitor/agent around Ryde/Parramatta? All comments greatly appreciated

    WHAT??? You sure are getting ripped off. My solicitor charges $880 inclusive of GST. That was back in March. Not sure how much she charges now. She's in burwood though. If you want I can give you her details.

    Hi pyramid,
    That is a ridiculous quote. You should look at changing the solicitors. I have used The Property Practice for my NSW deals. They are based in Collaroy. Their contact # is 02 9981 7800 or thepropertypractice.com
    Ask for Jock Kennedy. They charge around $900 + Disbursements.
