Property law without the property drama

Property is a big deal. Sometimes literally.

Whether there’s a family home or multi-unit complex on the line, you want to know exactly what you’re signing, what could trip you up, and what happens next. That’s where we come in.

Our property law team can help from initial due diligence right through to settlement – checking the paperwork, spotting potential issues, and keeping things moving along the way.

If you’re buying or selling, we’ll help you understand your sale and purchase agreement before you commit to anything important. If you’re developing, we’ll work alongside the other people involved to help keep everyone on the same page. And if residential associations, body corporates, or industry rules are giving you a headache – we’re really rather handy there too.

Basically, if it involves the legal side of property, there’s every chance we can help you out. But let’s break it down a little just to be on the safe side.

Body corporates

Lots of owners and lots of rules. One less headache goes a long way. Unit title developments come with shared spaces, shared responsibilities and – you guessed it – plenty of paperwork.

Real estate agents

Legal backup for people who live and breathe property. Real estate moves faster than an All Blacks winger. So when an agent needs legal advice, waiting around for three days and a six-paragraph disclaimer isn't terribly helpful.
