Understanding conveyancing fees is a key part of budgeting for a property transaction in New Zealand.
For a basic purchase, expect to pay $1,400 - $2,000, while a basic sale typically costs $1,300 - $1,800. These fees cover legal advice, document review, and settlement management.
Costs increase for complex transactions, such as:
- Using your KiwiSaver
- Buying or selling unit titles
- Properties involving trusts or multiple purchasers
Final fees can easily exceed $3,000, so always request a price indication upfront.
