Cost guide
Across reviewed conveyancer jobs in Kensington, $1,200 is the median price — most jobs come in between $1,200 and $1,500 — 8% above the Victorian average. Nearby: Flemington ($1,450), West Melbourne ($1,200), Travancore ($1,400). Prices have risen 101% since 2007 (from $695 to $1,400 median), averaging 5.3% per year.
