Buying & Selling Property
Buying or selling a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. It’s exciting – but it can also feel overwhelming with all the legal terms and paperwork. Our job is to guide you through every step and make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible for you.
We handle the details so you don’t have to worry. Before you sign anything, we can review the Sale and Purchase Agreement (or auction pack) and explain in plain English what it means. We’ll check the property’s title for any issues, and work with you through your conditions (for example, finance or building inspection clauses). If you’re buying at auction or privately, we’ll make sure you know exactly what you’re committing to, avoiding any surprises or pitfalls down the line.
Throughout the process, our team stays in touch and keeps you informed. We’ll coordinate with the real estate agent, the banks, and the other lawyer to keep everything on track for settlement day. On settlement, we arrange the transfer of funds and ownership, making sure all the legal requirements are met so you can confidently get the keys to your new home. We pride ourselves on being friendly and accessible – no question is too “silly” to ask. We’re here to answer all your queries and give you peace of mind.
Every client’s situation is different, and we tailor our advice to your needs. If you’re a first-home buyer, for example, we can help you use your KiwiSaver or apply for any grants you’re eligible for, and we’ll walk you through the extra steps involved in that. If you’re selling a house, we’ll check that you’ve met all your legal disclosure obligations to avoid any future problems. Our goal is to protect your interests at every stage, so that whether you are buying or selling, the transaction is safe, smooth, and hassle-free.
