Our state of the art systems enable us to provide high quality services throughout New Zealand at very competitive rates.
Those contemplating a purchase or sale should see our Homebuyers Roadmap page.
We handle all aspects of buying and selling homes, sections, apartments, town houses and retirement village units. If you can live in it, we can handle the legal side of transferring the ownership.
Each type of property has its own unique features. For example most apartments are on unit titles. Tucked away in the unit title structure are sets of body corporate rules which can limit the way you use your unit. You may not be able to have a dog or curtains of a colour that you want. If you are buying a cross-lease property you may have shared rights and obligations for driveways and restrictions on alterations you can make to the property. If you are buying or subdividing a section there will be Council planning matters you will need to be aware of.
Our HomeLegal team of qualified property lawyers take care of the detail for you. They will advise you in respect of all aspects of the transaction. We leave you to get on with the more interesting aspects of the purchase or sale.
For details of the steps involved in the process see our Article Buying a Home – The Legal Process.
