Turn uncertainty
into useful questions.

01 / Plan your first conversation

Your questions, in one place.

Choose a topic and practical needs. The planner prepares questions, not legal advice or a recommendation. Please do not enter names, documents or case details.

MY FIRST-ENQUIRY PLAN
Topic: Buying or selling property
Next step: Finding the right provider

Before contacting an office
- Describe the issue and relevant state or territory in a sentence or two.
- Flag dates you have already been given; this planner does not calculate deadlines.
- Confirm the provider’s identity and secure intake process before sharing documents.

Questions for the provider
- Does the proposed work include reviewing the contract before I sign?
- Which searches, external expenses and later stages are excluded?
- What happens to the scope and price if the transaction does not proceed?
- Who would handle my matter, what is included and what could cost extra?

Record which providers confirm they handle the work and can discuss your timing.

02 / Compare the same work

A quote is more than its price.

Use figures on the same GST basis for both quotes. Enter 0 for additional amounts only if you have confirmed there are none. Blank or invalid amounts remain unknown. This adds the amounts you enter; it does not estimate legal fees, calculate tax or recommend a provider.

Unchecked means not confirmed here, not necessarily excluded. Amounts and choices stay in this page’s memory; this tool does not submit or save them.

Try a worked example.

Imagine Provider A quotes $600 for a review and advice call, while Provider B quotes $900 including written amendments. Both amounts are fictional teaching figures on the same assumed GST basis, not estimates of market prices. Enter 0 in each additional-amount field only for this example, and tick document amendments for B. The scope check highlights why the two totals are not prices for identical work.

For your own quotes, leave expenses unknown until confirmed. Ask A what amendments would cost and B whether further negotiation is included. The tool cannot tell you which scope you need; that requires a conversation about your circumstances.
