Our Property Conveyancing Services
HomeLegal Conveyancing Services
Entrusting an experienced property lawyer to handle the sale or purchase of a property ensures all legal obligations and steps are adhered to, while giving you peace of mind throughout the process.
If you’re looking at your first home, it’s not expected of you to know all the steps involved – or the potential traps you might fall into – when buying a house.
If this isn’t your first time buying or selling a house, then you’ll be fully aware of the value an experienced property conveyancing team will bring to a transaction – ensuring everything from desposits and mortgage arrangements, to the title are taken care of.
Conveyancing Services for First-Home Buyers
We’re often asked by first-home buyers why seeking advice from a property solicitor is required when buying a house. The value an experienced property conveyancing lawyer provides is inestimable. Most sales and purchases have unique features, all demanding the same level of attention.
Even the most experienced property investor can come unstuck from a vaguely worded Sale and Purchase Agreement clause, which is why at HomeLegal we deliver high-quality property law advice to all our clients.
The services we offer first-home buyers and established property investors include:
- Independent review of the Sale and Purchase agreements.
- Title reviews.
- Communication with the vendor’s solicitor and the real estate agent where required on contract terms and conditions.
- Review (when requested) of land information memorandam’s (LIM Reports).
- Ensuring the purchase agreement is made unconditional once your conditions have been satisfied.
- Receipt and preparation of bank loan instructions and security documentation. We’ll also meet with you to explain the documentation in an approachable and understandable manner.
- Discussions and advice on KiwiSaver withdrawals and the Homestart Grant if necessary.
- Communication with your bank to make sure all funding is in place on settlement.
- Reminders and information around settlement, transfers of existing mortgage, post-registration searches and obtaining certificate of insurance currency to enable funds to be advanced.
- Final reporting to ensure you have a clear record of your transaction and copies of all property and mortgage documents for your records.
Our team understand that buying a house can be a stressful event – but it doesn’t have to be! As property conveyancing specialists, we can offer advice on areas of the process you may have missed or overlooked due to the excitement involved in buying a house. We want you to be happy in your new home, and this is best achieved when you can make informed choices.
