Conveyancers target Sunshine State

AFTER breaking open the conveyancing market in Victoria, the nation's non-lawyer conveyancers are turning their sights on Queensland - the last state in which solicitors enjoy a statutory monopoly on property transfers.
Coveyancers are planning a national summit to prepare their tactics for a renewed assault on the Queensland market.
After Victoria's decision last week to open the conveyancing market to full competition, Australian Institute of Conveyancers national president Terry Allen called on the Queensland Government to fall into line with the rest of the nation. He said conveyancers from around the nation had been planning to meet in Melbourne on February 18, but after the Victorian breakthrough, Queensland would be high on the agenda.
