Residential Property Law and Conveyancing
Residential Property Law and Conveyancing
We have extensive experience with residential property transactions in Morrinsville, throughout the Matamata-Piako District and greater Waikato Region, and elsewhere in New Zealand. We take pride in offering a personal and cost-effective service suited to the needs of homebuyers and sellers.
Property Purchase and Sale Agreements
Our team frequently drafts, reviews, and assists in the negotiation of property sale and purchase agreements, ensuring legal compliance with the law and practicality for each transaction. We advise on key details such as sale terms and conditions, settlement dates, the nature of the title – be it freehold, cross lease or unit title – and relevant property covenants, rights of way, utility and other easements. We also assist with how property is to be owned where there are multiple people involved and draft and review property sharing agreements.
Title and Land Information Memorandums (LIM) Reviews
Comprehensive title and LIM reviews are critical in property transactions. We help identify existing and potential legal issues like boundary disputes, unregistered easements, and planning restrictions, ensuring our clients make informed decisions and avoid post-settlement complications.
Mortgage and Financing
Buying a home is a significant financial commitment. We assist clients in understanding their mortgage agreements, ensuring clarity on legal obligations. We aim to help our clients secure their loan while protecting their financial interests.
First Home Buyers
First-time homebuyers have both opportunities but also challenges. From KiwiSaver withdrawal eligibility to navigating government grants, we offer clear, customised advice to help guide first-home buyers through the process, giving them the peace of mind they need during what will be the most important financial decisions they will have had to make.
Subdivisions and Boundary Adjustments
Subdividing property or adjusting boundaries can present new opportunities but requires careful legal review. We help clients manage the process, ensuring compliance with council regulations and addressing title or boundary issues.
Dispute Resolution
Property disputes, whether related to boundaries, easements, or sale agreements, can be stressful. We focus on dispute resolution processes through mediation or negotiation, but if push comes to shove, we represent clients in formal legal proceedings to protect their interests.
In Summary
Residential property transactions involve many legal considerations and occasionally can be complex. From drafting contracts and reviewing titles to dispute resolution, our firm offers a full range of services to ensure smooth transactions.
