## How to choose
- 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.

## FAQs
### How much are conveyancing fees for an HDB resale flat?
2026 guides put buyer's professional fees at roughly $1,500 to $2,500 and seller's fees at about $1,200 to $2,000. Disbursements such as searches and registration fees, plus 9% GST, are extra. Some firms quote fixed all-in prices, so compare total costs rather than headline fees.

### Can HDB act as my conveyancing lawyer?
HDB's legal service is only available for certain cases, such as when you are not taking a bank loan. If you are financing your flat with a bank loan, you must appoint a private lawyer, usually from the bank's panel. Check HDB's current guidance for your situation.

Professional fees for private property conveyancing are commonly $2,500 to $5,000, rising with the property price and complexity. If you take a mortgage, there are separate mortgage legal fees of about $1,500 to $2,500, which some banks subsidise. Add disbursements and GST to get the full cost.
