Updated the full quotation here.
Wonder if lawyer say give 30% lawyer fees, is it on the total professional fee (30% on 6134)or the 30% only particular on the agreement(30% on 4406.4 only)?
Question for GST as well, for this quotation, the GST charged on professional fees. However I've received another quotation that professional fee and disbursement fees both charge GST. Which item can avoid GST??

Now the bank said the loan agreement must use their panel lawyer, and only give me 1 lawyer.
And the banker only giving me 1 choice...would like to ask, is there any rules/terms force us borrower must take their panel? what action i can take ?
