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

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

Costs increase for complex transactions like using KiwiSaver, buying a unit title, or purchasing through a trust. To avoid surprises, ask your lawyer for a price indication upfront.
