Understanding conveyancing fees is crucial for property buyers and sellers in NZ. For a basic purchase, expect to pay $1,400 to $2,000, covering advice, document reviews, and settlement management.
For sellers, costs typically range from $1,300 to $1,800 for services like drafting agreements and discharging mortgages.
