Conveyancing Guide

Why You Need a Good Conveyancer

Buying a home is likely the biggest financial commitment you will make. A good conveyancer protects your interests by ensuring:

  • Title Checks: They ensure there are no hidden legal problems with the property title that could affect your use or ownership.
  • LIM Code Review: They can help interpret the Land Information Memorandum (LIM) report to identify any council compliance issues.
  • KiwiSaver & HomeStart: They verify your eligibility and handle the withdrawal of Kiwisaver funds and HomeStart grants.
  • Smooth Settlement: On the day of settlement, they coordinate with the bank and the other party's lawyer to ensure money and keys change hands smoothly.

Questions to Ask

When comparing conveyancers, ask:

  • Is your fee fixed, or an estimate?
  • Does the fee include disbursements (search fees, registration costs)?
  • Who will be my primary point of contact?
  • Do you have experience with [specific property type, e.g., cross-lease, unit title, new build]?

Frequently Asked Questions

A conveyancer handles the legal aspects of buying or selling property. They review contracts (Sale and Purchase Agreements), check the property title for any issues (like easements or covenants), transfer funds, and ensure the legal ownership is correctly transferred to you on settlement day.
Conveyancing fees can vary, but typically range from $1,200 to $2,500 for a standard buy or sell transaction. Some firms offer fixed-price services, while others charge by the hour. It's important to ask for a quote upfront that includes GST and disbursements (costs like title search fees).
You should speak to a conveyancer BEFORE you sign a Sale and Purchase Agreement. They can review the contract conditions to ensure you are protected. If you've already signed, contact one immediately, especially if the agreement is conditional.
