Each cost has a distinct role, so you can compare scope rather than just a headline price.
- Professional fee
- Aquarius Lawyers’ legal work: reviewing documents, advising on the contract, coordinating the transaction, and progressing settlement.
- Searches
- Property, planning, strata, and other searches that may be needed to understand the specific property and its risks.
- PEXA
- Digital settlement platform charges where electronic lodgement and settlement apply to your matter.
- GST
- Tax applied to taxable professional services, shown separately so the total is easy to follow.
Searches, PEXA charges, and other disbursements can change with the property and authority schedules. Your written quote explains the expected scope before work begins.
Aquarius Lawyers Conveyancing Philosophy
At Aquarius Lawyers, we believe that purchasing or selling a property should be a celebrated milestone, not a source of legal confusion. We offer transparent, flat professional fees, clear step-by-step communications, and practical legal guidance.
Fixed professional fee
Ask what is included, what may be separate, and what could change the scope before you approve legal work.
PEXA certified speed
We use PEXA e-conveyancing workflows for digital document exchange, bank coordination, and settlement-day lodgement where required.
Meticulous diligence
We safeguard your financial transaction. Every contract review, statutory land search, and easement certificate is audited page-by-page by experienced property solicitors.

How much are NSW disbursements on top of the professional fee?
Disbursements vary with the property, searches, and official fees. A written quote should identify likely third-party charges separately from professional work; those charges can change when authorities update their schedules.
What is PEXA and why is it mandatory?
PEXA is Australia's secure digital property settlement platform. Under NSW land registry rules, nearly all land transactions must be executed digitally. Your lawyer can explain how funds, documents, and title updates are coordinated through settlement.
How early should I request a pre-purchase contract review?
As soon as you receive the contract from the real estate agent. Early review gives time to identify special conditions, easements, strata issues, or deadline pressure before you bid or make an offer.
Do you help first home buyers with government stamp duty forms?
Aquarius Lawyers can help first home buyers understand FHBAS eligibility questions and the declarations usually required by Revenue NSW.
Protect your property purchase with professional solicitors.
Share the property stage, suburb, contract status, and deadline so Aquarius Lawyers can outline the next step and provide a written quote.
