AI summary

Conveyancing fees are a key cost when buying or selling property in NZ. 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 managing the settlement process. However, costs increase for complex transactions, such as using KiwiSaver, buying a unit title, or purchasing a tenanted property. Always ask your lawyer for a price indication upfront to manage expenses.
