Established Legal and Property Conveyancing Practice – Melbourne

Established in 1998, the practice operates from Melbourne’s eastern suburbs and has a clear and consistent focus on residential property conveyancing, supported by related legal services. Approximately 95% of revenue is derived from property-related matters.

A key strength of the practice is its long-standing client base and referral relationships, including active property investors, developers, and professional referrers. The business has developed a niche servicing clients within the local Asian community, supported by bilingual (English/Chinese) capability and cultural alignment, which has driven repeat engagements and referral continuity over many years.

The purchaser will be required to hold, or appoint a practitioner who holds, a current Victorian practising certificate and establish appropriate trust account and regulatory arrangements following completion.

A structured handover period will be provided to ensure continuity of client matters, systems, and key referral relationships.
