That actually doesn't apply in Queensland - in Queensland all conveyancers are supervised by a solicitor - so you still basically pay as much as a solicitor - cos you can't be a registered conveyancer up here like you can down south.
I studied down in Victoria - so I could be a registered conveyancer down there - but since I'm in Queensland - I do conveyancing - but I work under a solicitor. Cos ya have to. Its da law

yeah shalou that situation sounds very familiar! luckily for us though the vendor situation is very complicated and they STILL havent accepted or rejected our offer yet. and even more luckily we finally got our pre-approval this week (2 1/2 weeks) i hurried them along i think cause i said we were gonna have a contract signed soon.. hehe
the property we want to buy is a deceased estate and there are three executors of the will who each get a different percentage of the cut. plus, two of them live overseas in different time zones which is hard then for them to communicate. plus, one is dead set on getting the asking price and the other two are negotiable so they are arguing and fighting amongst themselves. it has taken 2 almost 3 weeks and still they havent decided on our offer. so it has kind of worked out well in the end just very frustrating!
if aussie and banks know there is backlog then why tell us in the first place it would only take 3-5 days? if we had known we wouldnt even have started looking yet! grrr.
oh, and the real estae agent is over it too so he is negotiating for his commission to go down and he said something about he is gonna pay the contract deposit himself just to sweeten the deal? that sounds a bit dodgy to me, i dont know exactly what he said or meant cause he spoke to my partner and he didnt really understand him either.
anyway, it is a bit of a drama but feel soooooooooooo much better now that we have pre-approval!
