Conveyancing fees in NZ

Understanding conveyancing fees is crucial for property buyers and sellers in NZ. For a basic purchase, expect to pay $1,400 to $2,000, covering advice, document reviews, and settlement management.

For sellers, costs typically range from $1,300 to $1,800 for services like drafting agreements and discharging mortgages.

Be aware that complex transactions—such as using KiwiSaver, buying a unit title, or purchasing off-plan—will increase costs, potentially over $3,000. Always ask your lawyer for a price indication upfront.
