Conveyancing

Expert Conveyancers in Auckland

We use the term “conveyancing” to describe the legal process of transferring the title of a property from one person to another. As you might imagine, there are a lot of potential issues that can crop up during this process, which – if left to go unchecked – can quickly snowball into expensive, time-consuming problems.

To help you avoid these problems, we offer a wide range of conveyancing services that encompass just about every aspect of property law.

Buying Property

Whether you’re a first home buyer or a seasoned investor, we’ll work our magic to ensure your purchase goes as smoothly as possible. We’ll take care of everything that goes into transferring ownership of the property between you and the seller, which might involve checking the title, negotiating contract conditions with the vendor and liaising with your bank to ensure your purchase finance is ready before settlement day. From start to finish, we’ll provide you with honest, straight-talking advice to help you fully understand your options and obligations.

Pre-Purchase Advice

To help you make a more informed decision about the prospective property, we’ll carry out a title search to check any rights and restrictions that may apply to the property, such as easements, land covenants and mortgages. We’ll also review the property’s land information memorandum (LIM), which may reveal important information about flood risks, rates, resource planning consents and more.

Selling Properties

We can help you take care of all the legal work involved with selling your property. We’ll advise you on contract conditions, review all the relevant documents, and liaise with your real estate agent, bank and the buyer’s solicitor. If you wish to sell privately, we can advise you on sale strategies and prepare your private sales agreements and other documents you’ll need to legally transfer ownership of the property.

Subdivisions and Boundary Adjustments

There are a lot of moving pieces when it comes to subdividing property. Whether you’re a property developer or a homeowner who wishes to subdivide your residential section, the Auckland conveyancers at Lifestyle Legal are here to help. We’ll guide you through the legal process every step of the way and take care of all the technical details, allowing you to focus your energy on what really matters: capitalising on your new subdivision.
