Jenny Beck Law will guide you through all property law matters safely and efficiently
Legal contracts for property are written in legalese, not plain English. Things you presume you understand may have a completely different or ambiguous meaning, or you may interpret something the wrong way. Before putting your signature to any agreement, it is prudent you understand what you are signing.
Thankfully you can make an informed and wise decision, once our property team have explained the technical jargon and fine print. We will take the time to answer every question and make sure you have a full awareness and understanding before you sign on the dotted line.

If you are selling, we will ensure rates are paid to the end of the instalment on settlement and will pay any that are still outstanding. If you are purchasing, the vendors will usually pay to the end of the instalment.
We cannot tell you exactly what time settlement will happen on the day. There are different parties involved that we have no control over i.e. banks. We will do our best to complete settlement as soon as possible.
You will be eligible to make a Withdrawal from your Kiwisaver if you are purchasing your first home and you have been contributing to your Kiwisaver for at least three years. You can withdraw any amount required but must leave a minimum of $1,000 in your KiwiSaver account. There are some exceptions to the first home rule – book in to have a chat with us to see if you might be eligible.
We offer fixed fees for our conveyancing services; they will be provided to you upfront when you engage us. The fees are then deduced on settlement when the funds arrive in our account.
Due diligence is the process of making sure a property is right for you. This can include title searches, building reports, reviewing the LIM, electrical reports and engineer’s report. Our property team can advise what checks are right for you.
