      What is the benefit of using a lawyer during conveyancing in Tasmania?

      A lawyer with sound knowledge of conveyancing in Tasmania will help remove the risk and unknowns from the conveyancing process. They will help manage expectations and negotiate for the conditions you need to be represented in your Contract. Engaging a lawyer for conveyancing in Tasmania (as opposed to a Licensed Conveyancer) will mean you get the most accurate and current advice should legal issues arise.

      What is conveyancing?

      Conveyancing is the process of transferring the legal ownership of real estate during its sale.


      What is stamp duty?

      If purchasing your first property, this may be the first time you’ve heard of Stamp Duty. Basically, it is the tax paid on the purchase of every property and is calculated as a percentage of the sale price and paid at settlement. Stamp Duty in Tasmania is calculated in addition to the advertised sale price, so when searching for a property, it’s worthwhile getting an indication of the cost to ensure your budget can stretch that far.


      When can a stamp duty concession be claimed?

      Most home buyers choose to claim a concession at the time of purchase, however, it can also be claimed retrospectively, when you’ve moved in and are enjoying your new home.


      How long have you been established?

      Rae & Partners began in 1986 and has established itself as one of Tasmania’s leading law firms. We are proud of our Tasmanian heritage and remain privately owned by locals who relate personally to the nuances of living in this island state.


      Are concessions available for stamp duty?

      The State Government has introduced several concessions to help give first home buyers, builders, and pensioners a leg up in the property market. These concessions are ever-evolving, so it’s worth speaking to your conveyancer or legal team before assuming you’re eligible.


      Do you visit regional areas?

      We regularly visit regional centres in the state’s north, including Deloraine, Scottsdale, St Marys, St Helens, Flinders Island, Strahan and Exeter.


      Where are you based?

      We service the state’s North, North-West and regional areas, with offices in Launceston, Devonport and Bicheno.


      Can you assist with the legalities of buying and selling real estate?

      Yes, our conveyancers and property lawyers can help take the uncertainty out of your real estate transaction.
