What are legal fees?

 

When calculating the cost of buying a property, you might look at the figure quoted in the sales pamphlet and think, “Well, so this is the amount I’ll give them, and they’ll give me the key to my dream home, right?” Unfortunately, no. As a general rule, when you buy a property, you should expect to incur the following additional costs as part and parcel of the transaction:

  1. Legal Fees – these are the fees you pay to whichever legal firm you have hired to represent you for the transaction and for completing all the necessary paperwork for you, including the Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”),  transfer forms. The legal fees chargeable is regulated by the Solicitors Act and lawyers have to follow the scale provided when charging you their legal fees. The legal fees basically go higher as the price of the property increases.
  2. Disbursements  – these are basically the expenses that lawyers incur while preparing your agreements and they include things like travelling, printing, and so on.
  3. Stamp duty – is basically tax you pay to the government and also varies according to the price of your property. The method of calculation is governed by the Stamp Act 1949
