Buying & selling real estate: Safe as houses
Kiwis love property—we are a nation of homeowners and investors. This means buying and selling property are the most significant financial transactions we will make—it’s essential to get it right.
From a legal perspective, buying and selling of real estate (Conveyancing)—involves the following key areas:
Ascertaining the legal status of the property (plus any other due diligence)
Providing clarity on the sale/purchase contract
Overseeing settlement (the process of passing the legal title from one owner to the next and the transfer of money).
Choosing the right legal team to guide you through this process will reduce stress and ensure the experience is positive.
If you are considering selling, save time and money by getting your ‘ducks-in-a-row’ before you commit to market—understanding your legal disclosure requirements ensures a timely, clean sale. For Cantabrians, this may include any earthquake-related considerations. And you need to be aware of any potential tax implications resulting from the Government’s Brightline test.
Receiving the right advice—before you go to market—will make selling a smoother,
more rewarding process.

To assist—we offer our buyers 3x reviews of auction or deadline sale packs—FREE*. This provides some reassurance around a property before you commit further. We will also quote a fixed fee for the Conveyancing should the sale proceed—so you can factor this into your budget in advance.
Another important area in which we help purchasers is—ownership structure. This includes protecting you and your largest asset against possible risks such as business or relationship failure or the potential negative impact of any interested parties (such as family lending or gifting).
