Help at hand when buying or selling ahome<br />

Buying anew home or selling your<br />

current home can be astressful time, but<br />

the team at Williams McKenzie Lawyers<br />

are here to help.<br />

First, we can prepare or review an<br />

Agreement for Sale and Purchase before<br />

you sign it to make sure it is legally<br />

correct, reflects your wishes and<br />

protects your position.<br />

The Agreement should contain<br />

information about the price, any<br />

conditions that the Agreement is subject<br />

to and when the settlement date is<br />

(meaning the date when ownership of<br />

the property changes and the purchase<br />

price is paid).<br />

If you are purchasing aproperty, you<br />

may need the Agreement to be subject to<br />

certain conditions so that, even after the<br />

Agreement is signed, you have some<br />

more time to spend dealing with certain<br />

matters before you are committed to<br />

going through with the purchase.<br />

For example, we recommend that<br />

there be acondition relating to the Land<br />

Information Memorandum (which is a<br />

document supplied by the local council<br />

containing information about the<br />

property) being satisfactory.<br />

Other conditions could include being<br />

able to get satisfactory finance and<br />

insurance and being satisfied with a<br />

building report about the house on the<br />

property.<br />

If you are buying at an auction, the<br />

purchase would be unconditional, but<br />

we can review the Agreement and other<br />

documentation about the property and<br />

discuss it with you before the auction.<br />

If you are selling at an auction, we can<br />

review the Agreement before it is made<br />

available to potential purchasers.<br />

If you are afirst home buyer, you may<br />

be able to use money in your Kiwisaver<br />

account to help pay the purchase price,<br />

and you may also be eligible for aFirst<br />

Home Grant.<br />

We can help you through those<br />

processes.<br />

We will also guide you through the<br />

change of ownership process.<br />

If you are apurchaser requiring aloan<br />

to help pay for the property, this will<br />

include liaising with your lender<br />

regarding new loan documents and<br />

registering amortgage.<br />

If you are selling aproperty which is<br />

mortgaged, this will involve liaising with<br />

the lender to discharge the mortgage.<br />
