How to choose a conveyancing lawyer

  • Ask for an all-in quote that separates the professional fee, disbursements and GST. Some 'all-in' fixed fees include searches and stamp fees, while others do not.
  • If you take a bank loan, you must appoint a private lawyer. Check whether your bank pays legal fees, and whether it claws them back if you refinance within two to three years.
  • Using the same firm for your purchase and the bank's mortgage work can lower the total and speed things up.
  • Check experience with your property type, such as HDB resale, ECs, new launches or landed property with caveats.
  • Confirm who your day-to-day contact is and how CPF and bank fund timelines will be handled.

Red flags

  • A very low headline fee with large disbursements added later.
  • No written list of what the fixed fee covers.
  • Being rushed to sign before you have read the option or contract terms.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is your quote all-in, including disbursements and GST?
  • Are you on my bank's panel for the mortgage work?
  • How long will completion take?
  • Who will handle my file?
