Cost guide
Across reviewed conveyancer jobs in South Melbourne, $1,250 is the median price — most jobs come in between $1,075 and $1,500 — 8% above the Victorian average. Nearby: Southbank ($1,200), South Wharf ($1,200), Albert Park ($1,200). Prices have risen 101% since 2007 (from $695 to $1,400 median), averaging 5.3% per year.
