We can handle everything for your Queensland property purchase
Dependable, hands-on support from your initial enquiry through to the day you collect the keys. Our team combines clear communication with careful coordination, ensuring your conveyancing experience is organised and reassuring rather than overwhelming. Whether you reach out by phone, email, or through our online platform, you'll always have visibility over where your purchase stands.
Each milestone of your transaction receives dedicated attention. Our Queensland conveyancing solicitors advise on building and pest inspections, finance conditions, body corporate enquiries, and settlement scheduling. We also liaise directly with your mortgage broker, real estate agent, and any other parties involved to keep everything aligned and progressing smoothly.
A seamless journey from contract to settlement
Selling residential property in Queensland calls for disciplined legal preparation to avoid hold-ups or contractual complications. We utilise the PEXA electronic settlement platform to make the process as efficient as possible, taking care of everything from your mortgage discharge paperwork through to the finalisation of transfer instruments. Our team manages each element so your sale advances from signed contract to completed settlement without disruption.
Rigorous contract review before you're bound
Across Queensland's varied and fast-moving property market, having your contract independently reviewed before signing is the smartest investment you can make. We scrutinise every provision of the REIQ Contract of Sale, drawing attention to concerns such as body corporate irregularities, unapproved structures, restrictive covenants, or unfavourable special conditions. We deliver our findings in straightforward language so you can commit with full confidence.
Reliable property transfers across Queensland
Property transfers aren't always tied to a conventional sale. Our team also manages family transfers, relationship property settlements, and deceased estate transactions throughout Queensland. We lodge all necessary documentation with the Queensland Titles Registry and verify that transfer duty obligations with the Queensland Revenue Office are satisfied, so your change of ownership is legally sound and processed without unnecessary delays.
Fulfilling your seller obligations under QLD law
Queensland legislation places clear disclosure responsibilities on property sellers. Under the Property Law Act 1974 and associated regulations, you must provide buyers with accurate information via a Form 24 disclosure statement covering title, zoning, and any encumbrances. For lots in a body corporate scheme, a Body Corporate Information Certificate and records are also required. We make sure your documentation is thorough and compliant, protecting you against a buyer exercising their statutory termination rights due to deficient disclosure.
Bespoke contract preparation for Queensland property sales
We draft tailored special conditions to complement the standard REIQ contract, designed around the specific circumstances of your transaction and the requirements of the Queensland market. Our drafting expertise spans pool safety compliance, body corporate disclosure provisions, flood and coastal management overlays, sunset clauses, and other locally relevant considerations.
Conveyancing expertise in Queensland built on experience
Queensland's property market stretches from high-density Brisbane precincts to sprawling coastal strips and vast regional centres, and each transaction carries its own legal considerations.

Whether it's a riverside unit in New Farm, a family home in Robina, a holiday property in Noosa, or a grazing holding in Toowoomba, we bring the thoroughness that property decisions of this magnitude deserve.
Our reputation is built on consistently dependable results. Our qualified solicitors and licensed conveyancers apply the same standard of diligence to a first home purchase in Ipswich as they do to a multi-million-dollar portfolio acquisition on the Gold Coast, because every client's transaction warrants that level of commitment.

Why Queensland property owners choose Dott & Crossitt
Queensland's property landscape is one of Australia's most dynamic, shaped by strong interstate migration, a thriving tourism economy, and a legislative framework anchored by the Property Law Act 1974 and REIQ's standard contract forms. Getting the best outcome requires a conveyancer who understands these QLD-specific dynamics and applies that knowledge in practice. We've spent years advising buyers and sellers right across the state, from high-growth South East Queensland corridors to established regional centres, and that experience is reflected in the results we achieve for our clients.=
Queensland conveyancing built on experience and integrity
For well over a decade, we've helped property owners throughout Queensland navigate the specific demands of the state's property market. Whether the transaction involves a contemporary apartment in South Brisbane, a Queenslander in Paddington, a beachfront villa in Burleigh Heads, or a rural property outside Cairns, our approach remains consistent: strict adherence to Queensland contract law and a genuine personal investment in every client's outcome. We don't cut corners and we don't let timelines slip. Every file receives our undivided professional attention.
Commercial conveyancing in Queensland
Commercial property transactions in Queensland involve a layer of legal complexity that goes well beyond standard residential conveyancing. Whether you're acquiring a retail premises in Brisbane's Queen Street Mall, leasing commercial space on the Gold Coast, securing warehouse facilities in Brendale, or purchasing a mixed-use development site in Townsville, our team delivers the specialist guidance your commercial deal requires.
Effective commercial conveyancing in Queensland demands careful analysis of existing and proposed lease arrangements, GST treatment (including 'Going Concern' exemptions), and Capital Gains Tax implications. We also conduct rigorous due diligence on environmental and contamination matters, review zoning under the relevant local government planning scheme, and assess any body corporate or community title structures. Working alongside your accountant, financial controller, and property advisors, we make sure the legal, financial, and regulatory pieces of your transaction are properly coordinated.
Our commercial service also encompasses thorough review of tenancy agreements, verification of outgoings and rental income forecasts, and careful assessment of special conditions relating to fit-outs, make-good obligations, or future development potential. Whether you're entering the Queensland commercial property market for the first time or growing an existing portfolio, we ensure every detail is resolved before you sign.

Conveyancer Queensland FAQs
Under Queensland law, sellers of residential property must provide a Form 24 seller's disclosure statement before the buyer enters the contract. For lots within a body corporate scheme, a Body Corporate Information Certificate (Form 13) and body corporate records are also required. Incomplete or inaccurate disclosure can give the buyer statutory grounds to terminate the contract, so getting this right is essential.
Flood overlay mapping and environmental assessments are standard components of our search package. We check flood-affected land designations, storm tide inundation areas, contaminated land registers, and any relevant environmental or coastal management overlays under the applicable local government planning scheme. The specific searches may vary depending on the property's location within Queensland.
Electronic conveyancing via PEXA is now the required method for lodging most property transfer and mortgage documents with the Queensland Titles Registry. All transactions are processed digitally, which eliminates the need for physical bank cheques and enables near-instantaneous title registration at the point of settlement.
Queensland buyers can waive the five-business-day cooling-off period by obtaining a waiver certificate under Section 366 of the Property Law Act 1974. While this can make an offer more appealing in a competitive market, it does carry meaningful risk. We perform a thorough pre-contract review before issuing any waiver so you are fully informed and not unknowingly taking on hidden defects or problematic encumbrances.
A simultaneous or 'back-to-back' settlement is where you coordinate the sale of your existing property and the purchase of your new one to complete on the same day, with the sale proceeds funding the purchase. This is a common arrangement across Queensland. We manage these linked settlements regularly, coordinating with multiple lenders and solicitors through PEXA to ensure both transactions settle on time.
Simply submit your details through our online Request a Quote form and we'll provide a tailored fee estimate for your purchase or sale. Our Queensland conveyancing team will then get in touch to discuss your transaction details and walk you through the entire process.
