Finding your property team – the three people you need
There’s no need to go it alone!
AI summary
Building your "property team" is crucial when buying a home. For professional guidance, you need three key experts in your corner.
A mortgage adviser helps secure the best loan by navigating bank policies and negotiating rates, often at no cost to you. A specialist property solicitor is essential for reviewing contracts, managing KiwiSaver funds, and checking for issues with LIM reports.
Finally, a builder provides a vital pre-purchase inspection to uncover hidden structural problems, even in new builds.
1. A mortgage adviser or mortgage broker
2. A solicitor/lawyer
3. A builder or inspector
4. A reputable developer (if building)
