How our fees work

Just like people, every transaction is different and comes with it’s own unique set of circumstances so we don’t believe it’s fair to claim our advice can come with a “fixed fee” as situations are different and can change from time to time.  That said, everyone likes to know in advance what to budget for, especially when dealing with some of the biggest financial decisions you need to make.  For this reason, all of the fees we indicate to you will include GST, service costs and what would be the usual types of title search and registration expenses involved in transferring or investigating the title to property (builder’s reports, LIMs, valuations and the like are additional costs).  There are some common types of work and the fees we charge for dealing with residential properties on the following matters:

Purchase of one property with a bank loan and mortgage (including Kiwisaver First Home Withdrawals):

$1,550.00


Purchase of one property without a bank loan or mortgage:

$1,300.00
​


Home Start Grant applications and documentation:

$300.00

Sale of one property that has a mortgage registered against it:

$1,300.00


Sale of one property that is mortgage free:

$1,100.00
​


Refinancing one property from one bank to another:

from $975.00

Straightforward Wills for a couple (in conjunction with a property sale, purchase or refinance):

$350.00


Personal or Company Guarantees 

from $300.00 


Picture

The fees estimated above are based on an existing household property with an uncomplicated title.  If you are using ANZ, Westpac or SBS Bank for mortgage finance, these Banks require a lawyer to receive mortgage instructions and a further charge of $300 is payable when using these Banks which is the fee payable to the Bank’s lawyer.  ​
