Property Law
Buying or selling a property can be both exciting and scary at the same time – it’s often the largest investment many New Zealander’s will make during their lifetime. It’s really important that you seek the advice of a lawyer to ensure that you understand the implications of any contract you may sign, and to check out the title to any property you may buy.
