Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of property/properties (HDB flats, condominiums, landed properties and other industrial and commercial properties such as factories, shops and offices) from one party to another party. A conveyancing lawyer in Singapore ensures this process meets all legal requirements under the Land Titles Act and protects your interests throughout the transaction.

Conveyancing transactions involve numerous laws, rules and regulations — and the right property lawyer in Singapore makes the difference between a smooth transaction and a costly mistake. Our conveyancing department has provided continuous service since 1973, and will handle the whole process, giving you peace of mind at every stage.
We assist with conveyancing for HDB flats, private condominiums, landed houses, commercial and industrial properties. Our team is experienced in property purchases and sales, refinancing, mortgage redemption, decoupling, and transfers of property following divorce orders or probate. As your property lawyer and conveyancer in Singapore, we manage every document, deadline and requisition on your behalf.
In particular, we assist with conveyances of property pursuant to a divorce order of court to ensure that each party receives what they are entitled to. Should the orders be unworkable or require changes, we can also assist former spouses to apply to court to obtain variations of the orders of court so that the sale, purchase or transfer of the property can proceed.
While our founding partner, Mr Lee Min Sen, who was a conveyancer and property lawyer, has just retired, Mr Chee Wai Pong has joined the firm, bringing close to 50 years of private practice experience as a property lawyer and conveyancer.
Conveyancing legal fees in Singapore vary based on the property type, transaction value, and complexity. We provide transparent fee estimates at the outset so there are no surprises.
As a general guide:
HDB flat purchase or sale: Legal fees are payable to the buyer’s and seller’s respective lawyers. CPF and HDB loan documentation is included.
Private residential property: Fees depend on the purchase price and loan amount. Stamp duty (ABSD, BSD) is a separate government charge.
Refinancing: Legal fees for refinancing are often partially subsidised by your new bank — ask us about this when you call.
Decoupling: A two-step conveyancing exercise involving both a sale and a purchase. We advise on stamp duty implications before proceeding.

Conveyancing legal fees in Singapore vary by transaction type and property value. For HDB resale transactions, typical legal fees range from S$1,800 to S$2,500. For private property, fees typically range from S$2,500 to S$3,500 depending on the property value and complexity. Contact us for a transparent, no-obligation quote.
For HDB resale transactions, the full conveyancing process typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from signing the Option to Purchase (OTP) to completion. For private property, the standard completion period is 12 weeks, though this can vary based on the sale agreement terms and any financing conditions.
Yes. We regularly handle property transfers arising from divorce court orders and estate administration (under Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration). Our team also advises on decoupling, joint tenancy severance, and sale of shares in property-holding companies.
Yes. Under Singapore law, the transfer of property must be handled by a qualified Singapore lawyer. A conveyancing lawyer prepares and reviews the sale and purchase agreement, lodges documents with the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), handles CPF utilisation, liaises with banks for mortgage matters, and ensures the transaction is legally sound.
For a typical HDB resale transaction, the process takes 8–10 weeks from the signing of the Option to Purchase (OTP). Private property transactions typically complete in 10–12 weeks. The timeline depends on financing arrangements, outstanding HDB loans, and any complications with the title.
Decoupling is the process where one co-owner transfers their share of a property to the other, often to allow the transferring party to purchase a new property without incurring Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD). It involves two legal transactions — a sale and a purchase — and must be carefully structured. Our conveyancing lawyers advise on whether decoupling is appropriate for your situation before any transaction begins.
Mortgage redemption (also called redemption of mortgage) is the legal process of discharging a bank’s mortgage over your property — typically when you have fully paid off your loan or when refinancing to a new bank. Our conveyancing team handles the entire redemption process, including liaising with your existing and new bank.
