Conveyancing fees in NZ

Understanding conveyancing fees is a key part of budgeting for a property transaction in New Zealand.

For a basic property purchase, expect to pay $1,400 - $2,000, while a basic sale typically costs $1,300 - $1,800. These fees cover legal advice, document preparation, and settlement management.

Costs can increase for complex transactions, such as using KiwiSaver, buying a unit title, or purchasing through a trust. Always ask your lawyer for a price indication upfront.
