Residential property transactions in West Auckland
West Auckland's real estate market features a variety of title structures. From classic cross-lease bungalows in Henderson and New Lynn to brand-new terraced housing developments and subdivisions in Massey and Hobsonville Point, our conveyancing solicitors manage all compliance aspects.
**Cross-Lease Vetting**: Many western suburbs feature cross-lease titles. We review flats plans to identify footprint discrepancies, unconsented structural changes, and deck additions, protecting you from future compliance actions.
**Landonline Settlement**: As certified e-dealing practitioners, we coordinate with your mortgage provider, execute title transfers, and complete settlements digitally.

- **Cross-Lease FLAT Plans**: Identify unconsented footprint alterations.
- **New-Build Vetting**: Review sunset clauses and developer terms.
- **LIM & Title Search**: Check easements, rights-of-way, and council records.
- **Mortgage Refinancing**: Co-ordinate security changes with lenders.

Personal Planning & Wealth Protection
Secure your family assets and establish compliant trust structures with principal solicitor Ian Mellett:
Wills & Enduring Powers of Attorney
Having a valid Will is essential to ensure your estate is 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 structure new Family Trusts and audit existing trusts to satisfy all legal requirements.

No. Most property conveyancing is processed entirely online. We conduct video verification of identity (VOI) meetings via Zoom, review Sale & Purchase Agreements through email, and execute title transfers digitally on Landonline. If you prefer to meet in person or sign physical deeds, you can book an appointment at our Remuera boardroom.
Yes. We strongly recommend having our solicitors review the Sale & Purchase Agreement, title registry, and LIM report before signing. This helps identify restrictive covenants, easements, or footprint errors on cross-leases. We complete reviews within **24–48 hours**.
Under the AML/CFT Act 2009, we must verify the identity and source of wealth of all clients. For remote transactions, we use certified electronic verification platforms that check your ID documents (e.g. NZ Passport) against national databases in real-time, accompanied by a live biometric photo match check.
