Sargeants Conveyancing

I was just blown away by the skill, super-efficiency and speed of the service I received from Sergeants Online and the magnificent Elisha out at Hoppers Crossing. I cannot recommend Sargeants highly enough. They have always been excellent on previous transactions, too. Sergeants, and Elisha in particular, made a sad and stressful time so much… Read more
easier and lifted such weight off me. Everything is clearly laid out, you know exactly what is needed at your end, and the task was completed in the shortest possible time allowing for other bodies and agencies involved. They are also all delightful to deal with. You can have such total confidence in the exemplary skill and knowledge of Sargeants. Highly recommend. Thanks so much, Elisha and staff.
Ryan at Sargeants Monash was amazing. It was our first ever experience buying a home and he made everything so easy, eased our stresses, totally understood when we asked too many silly questions... just perfection. Cannot recommend them enough. And all our friends were surprised at how cheap they were in the end. Amazing.
Follow-up · It was our first realestate purchase so I've no idea if the timeline was fast or slow, but it seemed reasonable. More importantly we were kept well informed of the likely timeframes, and they didn't mind us asking a few to many times for updates. They eased stress by confirming when we didn't need to do anything else, along with giving a general… Read more
My husband and I recently sold our house. Both our buyer and ourselves employed Sargeants for the conveyancing. The buyer added a clause onto the contract that we needed to get our property professionally cleaned. A week prior to the sale we had the property professionally cleaned and emailed Sargeants the receipt of service. They emailed us back,… Read more
acknowledging that they had received our proof of cleaning. Two days before the settlement date, Katie rang my husband and was abusive and unprofessional. She claimed that our house was filthy and that we had not upheld our contract. When my husband informed Katie that we had paid for the house to be professionally cleaned and that we had sent Sargeants our receipt, she accused him of lying to her. My husband rang our real estate concerned that our house may have been vandalised. The real estate informed us that the property was very clean and that the buyer was upset about how a few minor aspects of the house had been cleaned. My husband rang Katie back and discussed his conversation with the real estate. Katie admitted that the receipt we had sent was received by one of her coworkers, but that she had not received it prior to their conversation. She did not apologise for Sargeants’ lack of internal communication, or for her unprofessional behaviour. We hope to discourage others from hiring Sargeants services, so that they do not have to pay for an arrogant and unprofessional conveyancer.

Andrea was a pleasure to deal with – Andrea from Sargeants at Brimbank has been outstanding, she has kept us informed every inch of the way and has made the process of purchasing our new home a breeze.
Sergeants Goulburn Valley - highly recommended – Rebecca and her team are super experienced and professional. Took the time to go through everything with us personally, much appreciated. Thanks again.
Fantastic Service from the Hoppers Crossing Branch – Sargeants Conveyancing in Hoppers Crossing have been absolutely fantastic to deal with, especially Luisa and Risha. They made everything so easy and stress free whilst purchasing our new property, answered every question that we had efficiently, were extremely knowledgeable & professional and the whole transaction was seamless even though it was a… Read more
complex situation. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional conveyancer in the Wyndham area. Thank you again!
Negative reviews
The most unethical, unprofessional and unimpressive f...heads I've ever engaged, at much much more of a fee than their promised 'we'll beat any quote'. When the cooling off period had past, and not even the basic title search had been done despite engaging them 5 days prior, I informed Craig that if I was legally required to follow through… Read more
without even knowing if the land was able to be built on, as he hadn't even checked that, that I would not hesitate to commence legal proceedings. He then ended our contract to act, refunded my money, closed the file, and get this - hours later, contacted the agent, informed that a refund of the deposit was to be paid immediately, and that I was no longer purchasing the property, and exercising the legal right to end the purchase contract. Now, considering he never told me any of this, and wasn't even acting for me any more, what do you reckon would have happened to my deposit? If the agent hadn't called me at almost midnight, then forwarded the email from this a...hole, I wouldn't have been any the wiser. I had to drive up and renegotiate purchase again, and sign a new contract, as f...headhad legally ended the first contract of sale. The ad says Victoria's biggest- biggest f...head that's about it. I went through Low Cost Conveyancing, and I'd recommend them, but honestly, absolute anyone else would be able to do a better job. There's no way they could do any worse, no way
Buyer beware greed!! – They weren’t our conyancer in Caroline Springs. I did everything by the books for a building inspector thought mould was included as a fault apparently not. The agent didn’t give me enough time to get another check of the home and the contract went unconditional Cristina went out for blood didn’t care my father has cancer and Ive got serious… Read more
health issues on top of selling the home they got another $6000 from a 90 year old man!!! Elderly parents. People please beware this world is run by greed. Cristina l hope this doesn’t happen to your family or friends do you know how it’s affected our family and mentally. Disgusting behaviour
Slow, expensive and inaccurate – The rates in the contract were quoted as more than $11,000.00 when it finally came through which I had to query with them, even though it was too late anyway, only to be told it was a "typo" the correct amount was ~$1000.00 - these people were reviewing a detailed contract for me... Not impressed, don't trust them. I dealt with the Altona branch.… Read more
My contract review was delayed in-part, because the request for payment upfront before any work was done, was not requested or provided to me to begin with. My bid on a property was time sensitive and I missed out. While waiting eagerly for something to come through I was receiving calls from the real estate agent and when I called the office the receptionist was quite strange about clarifying what her role was even though I was not rude or pushy, and said she will have to just leave a message with the person who was dealing with my contract. The amount I was quoted should the sale complete was at the top range of what conveyancing should cost for a straightforward transaction which I now realise in hindsight. There was almost no acknowledgement of the terrible service I'd received, a final email apologising for the delay and "looking forward to working with me in future"... not likely. My God. Don't use them.

Amazing service - took care of everything with limited effort on our end – We dealt with Sargeants Glen Eira & Monash for the settlement of 4 properties now, and we couldn't be happier with the service we have received - that's probably why we keep going back! Consistently high standard, low effort on our part, instructions were very clear, and as I work a busy profession I was able to do everything via email… Read more

Selling made easy – Sargeants Conveyancing of Hawthorn proved to be a very understanding, efficient and professional company in the sale of a off market residential sale. Thank you Uresha for your help and assistance. I would strongly recommend Sargeants to a vendor or purchaser.
Above and beyond – Keeley has been amazing to deal with and has taken all the stress out of buying and transferring real estate. She has gone above and beyond all I expected and made the whole experience stress free and it has been a real pleasure having Keeley on the ‘team’. Would not hesitate in recommending Sargeants and Keeley.
Great service – As a first home buyer I couldn’t speak more highly of how smooth Cath at Sargeants made the whole process. Cath was very approachable, reliable and we could always contact her even out of office hours.
Go somewhere else! – Not helpful to clients at all, lacks compassion and understanding, unprofessional, failed to clarify important parts of contract as they are only after the money. Extremely disappointing. Find someone better!
AVOID AT ALL COST – Very unprofessional staff. Do not know anything about customer service. No manners what so ever. I would not recommend this firm to anyone. Avoid at all cost. I would give zero stars if i could.
Consumers deserve better – Balwyn office: Have worked in the real estate industry for 20 years. This is one of the most unprofessional conveyancing organisations I have ever dealt with. My recommendation is to avoid this company. Many other more reputable conveyancers out there. The 'finance broker' linked to this business failed to return my calls and only did so by error (had called from another number). She should also be avoided. Rude and arrogant.
Unprofessional and worst communicated Conveyance – Never ever use sargeant hawthorn. They are unprofessional and unethical. No communications or appropriate advice given when require. Make us lost a lot of money. Uncapable to represent client. Never recommend.

Need to look after their customers – They need to provide more fair and genuine service to their customers. Communication and client satisfaction priority is thing that they need to work on definitely. Overall need a better management in their business.
Sargeants conveyancers Dandenong UNPROFESSIONAL – The worst experience ever! No respect for the client, acting without consent, not answering calls and hanging up the phone because you asked for a document! Unprofessional and ridiculous! Luckily we left early and found fantastic conveyancers. Don't these franchises get inspected at all? I would be ashamed for them to carry my name.....simply appalling!
Sargeants dandenong just want money without service – Very disappointed from their service. Sargeants dandenong not responsive.. failed to do accurate work for my FHOG. Still want to charge us for that..trying to warn if we wouldn't pay ,they will involve legal department and debt collector agencies. Not fair..I wouldn't recommend them at all.
Sargeants Conveyancing Caroline Springs VIC – Great on the initial phone discussion, very disappointing afterwards. Had to follow up numerous times for paperwork to formally engage their services to the point where I asked if they even wanted the job. When the paperwork finally came they want prepayment up-front for a simple transfer matter. I said that I’m not proceeding if they want money… Read more
up front because if there is delays on their end I’m carrying all the risk. Given it was hard enough to get the initial engagement paperwork (despite numerous emails/calls to them) I lost confidence in their ability to deliver on time and said that I will not be using their services. They have now sent me an invoice for ‘work’ performed in opening a file and sending me their quote. Interesting that this 'fees for no service' still goes on given the recent royal commission and the behavior within the finance and related services industries.
Failed to complete paperwork accurately – We had sargeants do our conveyancing which was arranged by our mortgage broker. We were never provided the final paperwork which they submitted on our behalf and they incorrectly stated our property was a rental when it was a primary residence. Which resulted in issues with our Water bills not being supplied followed by us paying land tax for 5… Read more
years when we should never have been paying it in the first place. You pay a company to do the work they should get it right, it wasnt like they could get the fact it was our primary residence wrong, we claimed the first home owner grant which isnt possible unless you reside in the property. So all up they resulted in us financially out of pocket in excess of $4000. When I tried contacting them about this issues there was no follow up on their end or action taken to fix the issue. They got their money and thats all they cared about. All I can say is beware and if you intend to you the, request copies of the paper work they are submitting and review it (although really why are you paying them if they cant get it right).
Highly recommend – Donna provided a fast, efficient and professional service. She was excellent to deal with. Well priced as well.
Did a great job – Donna was a pleasure to work with. She made sure everything ran smoothly with settlement
