Legal World were faultless in their professionalism and helpfulness. Their price was competitive and the settlement went through without a hitch. I would recommend them to a friend.

Unfortunately had a terrible experience with this firm. Bad communication, horrible processes and no accountability. Held my funds in a trust account for over 3 months without telling me or following up in anyway to release them to me, this being after I confirm details with them over the phone and via email 3 months prior. Being a first home… Read more

buyer and not know all the steps myself from a conveyancers perspective. They were highly unprofessional, used my naivety and didn’t take any accountability for their processes causing extra interest being paid to the bank. I won’t be using them again.

Service was incredibly subpar and so many incorrect details that the solicitor made. Sending out preset template emails, including wrong deposit amounts, wrong stamp duty, incorrect settlement dates. I had to go and correct the solicitors mistakes! As a first home buyer DO NOT use this service, pay the little extra to get full clarification of… Read more

your property. Property is an asset and they do not care to take the proper steps to give you clarification or support. The $1100 fee was not worth it in my opinion. I hope no one believes these fake 5 star reviews

Thanks for helping with my settlement – My house was settled successfully yesterday, with the help from Legal World. Thanks Sheriff and Jeevan, they worked really hard. I am using cash for this settlement. I was very worried about sending out a few millions cash to New/Unknown account, even it is an Trust Account. I requested to visit Legal World office but Jeevan suggested me to go to… Read more

the government website "https://lawsociety.com.au/register-of-solicitors". I double checked that Legal World is a registered legal firm and trusted them. I did the right thing! Luckily my settlement was on-time and smoothly. I Googled "the cheapest price for Sydney conveyance", that is how I found this company. It's actually not too bad. I like their email communications, so everything has a written evidence.

Very happy with my experience – Was buying my first property (settled yesterday), so was absolutely new to the entire process and a bit nervous at first, as I randomly chose LW to represent me. However, from day one realised that made a right choice - all the responses were very prompt (turnaround times are very quick), the entire team was very helpful and proactive. Great value… Read more

for money, very smooth and seamless process. Will definitely go straight to LW with my subsequent purchases. Strongly recommended.

Legit and professional – Excellent services. I was terrified at first because this is my 1st time buying a property. I transferred full fund to them ( no mortgages) and so scared that I don’t know any of my lawyers. No face photos, no office, no surname… But everything went well. Professional and responsive. Btw my conveyancer is Rahul.

Sent an online request and received prompt response with an offer of no settlement = no fee. Then received an additional two emails an hour apart, pressuring me to respond with “I appoint you”. I responded clarifying the no settlement = no fee claim, which they again confirmed, and stated all inclusive fee is $990. It felt a little fishy so I read… Read more

reviews on here, and sure enough people have received fees without settlement and hidden fees. I proceeded to show their contract to a friend who is a business lawyer and they advised the contract contains fee structures and payment schedules that do not at all reflect their advertising claims, and hidden fees everywhere. I will not be using them but was so shocked with such dishonest practices that I thought I’d review.

I engaged Legal World NSW to sell a property in Qld. They state themselves as lawyers but the purchaser conveyancer who is not a lawyer proved so much better. I lost app. $2,500 in owed rent & water. I asked Legal World for months to add to the sale price and was told they would but a week before the settlement they came back and said they will… Read more

not but to claim it from the property agent. As my lawyer, they should have told me that once the property is settled then I will lose my right to bond. LW also pushed me to reduce the price because the settlement was delayed. Once by the buyer and once by us. I organised LW to act for me for months before the settlement and told them that I will be out of the country for few months and during the settlement so please make sure that everything needed for settlement is organise before mid March. However, by 20th April it was still not done. My husband and I did not sleep for 2 nights and 2 days attempting to email and contact anyone who had anything to do with my property documents. I was sent a form by LW to sign and send to the bank which we had already done in early March. We had to wake policeman at a police station in Austria to print the document for us so we could sign and email on time due to 8 hrs time difference. LW spoiled our holiday, and also cost a loss. But they are very good with taking their fee. I sent complaint email and when back in Australia was contacted by the owner to say he will be holding meeting to find out what happened. I know what happened exactly, incompetence of the staffs, not knowing their work and not acting in best interests of their client but filling their pocket. Pushing me into accepting the purchaser' s every demand so their work is easy and simple. LW could not read a simple statement but asked me few times to pay extra amount that showed in the rates if the payment was overdue. It took us few emails to explain this simple thing that was written in the rates notice. I am selling another property and purchasing one after the sale and had engaged LW for both but after my this experience I would rather go with another company and pay extra to save the headache. I DO NOT recommend this company, they not their for their clients. They don't know what they are doing. Do not trust high star reviews, companies have their family and friends to write to get the job. I use reviews to chose and a true review can alert others and save them money and heartache.

Legal team you can trust for peace of mind – I recently had the pleasure of working with the team at Legal World, and they were absolutely fantastic. They handled the conveyancing for our recent property purchase in South Australia. I couldn't be happier with their service.

were compliant with all the necessary regulations.

Being an investor from Sydney buying in a new and unknown area, having peace of mind was very important to me. The team were super knowledgeable and always available to answer any questions my wife and I had. They made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which was a huge relief. Their attention to detail and proactive approach really stood out, especially when it came to reviewing and negotiating contracts, building and pest, form 1 and settlement.

Overall, the Legal World a group of true professionals who know their stuff. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient team, I highly recommend them. I'm now in the process of working with Legal World again on a different legal matter.

***** ALL 5 STARS ALLIGNED FOR LEGALWORLD***** – I settled on a property in Victoria 2 days ago, and my experience with Legal World was outstanding!!.

same day or faster, or you can call the office. Answered all my naughty questions ensured every detail was handled meticulously, making what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and straightforward. I really felt legal support when it was negotiations of contract terms with the vendor (yeah you can just remove bunch of "special conditions" just because you don't like them)

I transferred my funds to LW Trust Account . They always validate over the phone all details as well, so best security standards are followed. I did not have my shortfall account from the bank so transfer to trust was the only option for me. Although I believe PEXA must provide that kind of security of having dedicated account by default to reduce unnecessary risks , not issue with LW anyways. Would be great to have some notifications from PEXA as well but guys shared screenshots so I know what is going on. Anyways , you can find some people from LW on LinkedIn and see their professional experience. And I found all people whom I was in touch were registered with Law Society of NSW https://www.lawsociety.com.au/register-of-solicitors

Highly recommend their expertise to anyone seeking legal assistance with property settlement!

Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The service was irresponsible and unreliable, with repeated delays and a lack of follow-through. Communication was extremely poor, and messages were often ignored or responded to very late, making the entire process frustrating.

I had a very disappointing experience with Legal World. They clearly stated both over the phone and in writing via email that they operate on a “no settlement, no fee” basis — meaning there would be no charges if the property settlement didn’t go ahead. Based on that assurance, I decided to engage their services. Unfortunately, during the… Read more

conveyancing process, we discovered serious issues with the land and were forced to rescind the contract. Since the purchase did not proceed to settlement, I expected that no fees would be charged, as promised.

However, to my surprise, Legal World still issued an invoice and demanded payment despite the fact that no settlement took place. This completely contradicts what they initially promised. When I raised this with them, they refused to acknowledge their earlier statements and continued to insist that the fees were payable.

I have now lodged a formal complaint with Fair Trading regarding this matter. In my opinion, their actions are misleading and deceptive, and I would strongly caution others to be extremely careful before engaging them.

Based on my experience, their “no settlement, no fee” claim is not genuine, and you may end up being charged even if your property purchase falls through.

In short: avoid being scammed — steer clear of Legal World.

Warning: Hidden fees charged by Legal World (conveyanceworld.com.au) without our knowledge or consent. They disguised an extra fees under “Adjustments” — knowing most people won’t understand these documents. In which world are Professional Fees an adjustment. The day before settlement, we get an email with: 1) A Settlement Summary (SS) 2) A… Read more

Statement of Adjustments (SOA)

The “Adjustments” item in the "SS" did not match the adjustments in the "SOA". In our case, we found an extra item in the Payment Direction section of the SOA labelled “Other” — payable to Legal World Pty Ltd for $479.22.

When questioned, Jeevan said the settlement would not proceed unless we agreed to pay this hidden fee. What choice do you think we had to make?

different IDs than standards. We have used a traditional in-person conveyancer previously and have found legal world to be more knowledgeable, efficient and much better value. They work as a team so there’s a contract review team and a main solicitor that you will be in contact with and Olympia who always answer the phone promptly, cheerfully and alleviate any of my concern. I will use legal world again for future transactions and happily recommend them to my friends. Minh

Worst conveyancing firm ever. The saving of few hunderd dollars in fixed fees will cost you thousands in exchange and wasted time cos they don’t know what to ask for on time from strata. You’re dealing with new conveyancer every email and have to call every time. Property sitting vacant for 2 weeks and can’t get their act together to get a simple contract issued. Show details

1.Not update client's contact details - continue sending emails to old contact for multiple times; 2. Make mistakes in settlement eg. take it for granted the buyer paid 10% deposit even if the Real Estate Trust emailed them the receipt of 5%. The mistake was discovered after settlement. 3. When the seller expressed their disappointment and offense, Legal World didn't apologise but instead emailed the seller in a impolite way.
