How a Property Sale Lawyer Can Help
Selling property in New Zealand involves a series of important legal and procedural steps - each requiring careful attention to detail. We guide you through every stage of the process to ensure your rights are fully protected, your obligations are clearly understood, and your transaction proceeds smoothly from contract to settlement.
Preparing Your Property Sale Agreement
Before you put your property on the market, we carefully review your sale and purchase agreement to ensure it accurately reflects your intentions and complies with New Zealand property law. We clarify all terms, manage special conditions, and work directly with your real estate agent and the buyer’s solicitor to keep the process smooth and transparent. As your property legal team we oversee every legal and financial detail - from initial review of the contract to settlement documentation - so you can move forward with confidence knowing your interests are fully protected.
Title and LIM Checks for Property Sellers
When selling your property, verifying key details early helps prevent unexpected delays or disputes later. We review your property title, LIM report, and council records to identify any potential legal issues - such as easements, caveats, or building compliance concerns - before your sale agreement is finalised. By addressing these matters in advance, we ensure your property sale proceeds smoothly and that buyers have full confidence in the transaction.
Managing Settlement and Finalising Your Sale
Settlement is the final - and most crucial - stage of your property transaction. We take full responsibility for coordinating all legal and financial aspects to ensure a smooth handover. As your property sale team, we manage the release of funds through our trust account, confirm the discharge of any existing mortgage, and verify that all sale proceeds are correctly distributed. We also liaise directly with the buyer’s solicitor and your lender to ensure every document is executed properly and that ownership transfers without delay or complication. We help you complete your property sale confidently, knowing every legal and financial detail has been handled with precision and care.
Assisting with Property Purchases
If you’re moving directly from selling to buying, we streamline the process by managing both transactions. As your legal advisers for buying property, we coordinate timelines, release funds, and ensure there are no overlaps or delays between settlement dates. Our property purchase team work closely with you to ensure every part of your next purchase - from due diligence to final registration - is properly managed.
