Conveyancing fees and costs

Unexpected costs when purchasing a property

Solicitors / Legal Conveyancing  Fees and Costs. These would depend on the complexity of the property transaction.

The Deposit. This is dependent on your funding criteria for the property.

Mortgage Application Fee. This will vary according to how your loan is structured.

Property Valuation Report.

Property / Building Inspection Report. A professional pre-purchase inspection of a property before proceeding with a purchase is essential. This report should identify any items in the property that require attention. It is unlikely that a home will come through a property inspection with a clean report as maintenance on an existing home is always required. However, a property report allows you to make an informed decision prior to proceeding with the purchase of the property.  Our Auckland conveyancing lawyers recommend you use a certified inspector for your potential property purchase. Please find below some suggested sources for qualified building professionals.
