AI summary
A property lawyer or conveyancer is essential when buying or selling a home in New Zealand. They manage the legal process, providing peace of mind and ensuring a smooth transaction.
Key responsibilities include reviewing sale and purchase agreements, checking the LIM report and property title, and assisting with due diligence. They also handle Kiwisaver withdrawals and manage the final settlement. While a conveyancer specialises in property, a lawyer can handle more complex issues. Always clarify their experience and fees beforehand.
