Conveyancing fees in NZ
A cost-guide for buyers and sellers

AI summary
Understanding conveyancing fees is crucial for property transactions. 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 review, and settlement management.
Costs increase for complex situations like using KiwiSaver, buying a unit title, or purchasing off-plan. To manage your budget, get a price indication from your lawyer upfront and consider specialist conveyancers for potentially lower rates.
