First Home Buyers and KiwiSaver
Buying your first home is an exciting milestone. We guide first-home buyers through each stage, from contract review to settlement. We advise on KiwiSaver withdrawals, First Home Grants, and shared ownership arrangements, ensuring all requirements are met and you feel supported every step of the way.
Sale and Purchase Agreements
We draft, review, and negotiate sale and purchase agreements for all forms of land and property. From suburban homes to commercial units and farms, we tailor agreements to suit the unique features of each transaction. Our advice addresses ownership structures, title types (freehold, leasehold, unit title), covenants, easements, cross leases, and other matters essential for a secure transaction.
Due Diligence – Titles, LIMs and Disclosure
We carry out comprehensive title and Land Information Memorandum (LIM) reviews for all property types. For commercial and rural property, this often includes consideration of zoning, building consents, resource consents, and existing lease or licence arrangements. We identify risks such as boundary issues, unregistered easements, environmental constraints, or restrictions on land use, ensuring our clients proceed with confidence.
Property Financing and Refinancing
Whether you’re arranging a residential mortgage, securing finance for a commercial acquisition, or seeking refinancing for a rural enterprise, we ensure your loan documentation is understood and obligations are clear. We liaise with banks, private lenders, and rural finance providers to streamline settlements and protect your financial interests.
Commercial and Rural Leasing
We advise landlords and tenants on a wide range of leasing matters, including commercial lease agreements, farm leases, grazing licences, and licences to occupy. Our team ensures lease terms are commercially sensible and legally sound, covering essential provisions such as maintenance obligations, rent reviews, early termination rights, and renewal options.
Subdivisions and Boundary Adjustments
Subdividing urban, rural, or commercial land can be complex. We assist with all legal aspects, including resource consents, council regulations, and drafting new titles. Whether you're unlocking development value or resolving a long-standing boundary issue, we work with your surveyor and local authority to facilitate a smooth process.
Property Disputes
Disputes may arise over boundaries, easements, sale conditions, lease breaches, or rural syndication arrangements. We prioritise practical solutions through negotiation or mediation, but where needed, we use our established relationships with other specialist litigation
lawyers if negotiation and disputes call for it.
