By ASCO Legal Thinking about buying or selling property? Don’t overlook the legal fine print. From first-home buyers to seasoned investors, one step in the property process is often misunderstood, and that’s conveyancing. Conveyancing is the legal work required to transfer property ownership. In New Zealand, that includes preparing and reviewing sale and purchase agreements, checking LIM reports and titles, handling KiwiSaver withdrawals and loan documents, and making sure everything is ready for settlement day. It might sound routine, but overlooking key details can lead to expensive surprises, like discovering defective titles, unconsented works, or restrictive covenants after you’ve settled. That’s why it pays to have a legal team that knows what to look for, and more importantly, explains it all in plain English. At ASCO Legal, we act for both buyers and sellers across New Zealand. Whether it’s navigating cross-lease titles in Auckland or advising on conditional clauses in a tight market, we help our clients make informed decisions. With interest rates shifting and the property market constantly evolving, having an experienced legal partner is more important than ever. Property deals are big milestones. With the right support, they don’t have to be stressful. Got a move in mind? Let ASCO Legal help you take the next step – practical advice, transparent process, no surprises.
