Having a reputable lawyer is value for money because using the cheapest law firms could cost you money. Queensland is one of the few states in Australia with a law that says properties must settle on the date in the contract. It's called time of the essence. The catch is that often lenders process settlements interstate with people who don't understand the consequences of Queensland's strict settlement laws.

Some less reliable law firms fail to follow up and ensure properties settle on time. That means you could be left standing in the driveway with your removalist and no keys to your new home. It could also mean sleeping in a hotel room for a few days while you pay the seller penalty interest. The seller could even terminate your contract, take your deposit and sue you for damages because you breached the agreement. Sound like a situation worth avoiding?
