Residential property transactions on the North Shore

Buying or selling residential property on the North Shore requires local expertise. Whether you are buying a heritage villa in Devonport, a coastal property in Milford, or a brand-new subdivision townhouse in Albany, our conveyancing solicitors ensure your transaction is legally protected.

**Contract Vetting**: We review Sale & Purchase Agreements before you sign or bid at auction. We check title records, identify restrictive covenants or easements, and review body corporate pre-contract disclosures for unit title apartments.

**Landonline Settlements**: As certified LINZ e-dealing practitioners, we coordinate with your mortgage provider, execute secure electronic title transfers, and complete settlements efficiently.

**Sale & Purchase Vetting**: Review auction conditions and conditional clauses.

Personal Planning & Wealth Protection

Secure your estate and establish structured asset protection plans with principal solicitor Ian Mellett:

Wills & Enduring Powers of Attorney

Having a valid Last Will and Testament is essential to ensure your property and assets are distributed according to your wishes. We also draft **Enduring Powers of Attorney (EPA)** for personal care/welfare and property, protecting your family in the event of unexpected incapacity.

Family Trusts & Trustees Duties

Under the Trusts Act 2019, trustees face increased compliance duties and disclosure obligations to beneficiaries. We audit existing trust structures, draft new Family Trusts, and advise trustees on managing relationship property risks.

Yes. We understand that auction cycles can move quickly. If you have an upcoming auction on the North Shore (e.g. in Takapuna or Milford), please contact our office as early as possible.
