About Conveyancing Fees NZ

What is on this site

One question, "conveyancing fees", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.

• Lawyer's fee versus disbursements on a New Zealand conveyance: A New Zealand conveyancing bill has two parts: the professional fee, which no one fixes, and disbursements like LINZ registration and the LIM, which are published.
• LIM report cost in New Zealand and what it actually tells you: A LIM comes from your council, so the fee is local: Wellington charges $575.50 for a residential LIM and takes up to 10 working days. What a LIM shows and misses.
• KiwiSaver first-home withdrawal: rules, timing and your lawyer: Three years in KiwiSaver, at least $1,000 left in the account, and the money is paid to your lawyer on or before settlement day. What to tell the firm and when.
• The bright-line test when you sell: the current 2-year rule: For property sold on or after 1 July 2024 the bright-line period is 2 years. What starts and ends it, the main home exclusion, and what your conveyancer has to withhold.
