The fee paid to the lawyer who prepares agreements and handles the legal side of a deal.
For a purchase, the legal fee covers the Contract of sale, Deed of Assignment and the Due diligence checks. For a rental, it covers the tenancy agreement.
Buyers should have their own lawyer rather than rely on the seller’s.
