AI summary
A property lawyer or conveyancer is essential when buying or selling a house in New Zealand, helping to reduce stress and risk.
They handle critical tasks like reviewing Sale and Purchase Agreements, LIM reports, and property titles. They also manage the settlement process, assist with due diligence, and can help with Kiwisaver withdrawals. While a conveyancer specialises in property, a lawyer offers broader expertise for more complex situations. Always clarify their experience and fee structure beforehand.
