Understanding conveyancing fees is crucial when buying or selling property. For a basic purchase, expect to pay $1,400 - $2,000 for legal advice, document reviews, and settlement management.

Selling a property typically costs $1,300 - $1,800, which includes drafting agreements, discharging your mortgage, and managing the title transfer.

Costs increase for complex transactions such as:

- Using KiwiSaver

- Buying a unit title

- Purchasing through a trust

Always request a price indication upfront to manage your budget effectively.
