Found your dream property 🕺💃🏡Great 😀.
Now let’s start the important work. 📝

A quick checklist from Link Law to help make your property purchase smooth and stress-free. 🧘‍♀️

Talk to your lawyer early 👩‍💼
Don’t leave your “lawyer talk”until the last minute. Contact them as soon as you start the buying process.

Using KiwiSaver? Let your lawyer know
If you plan to use KiwiSaver for your deposit
or settlement, tell them at initial stage.
This is a very important step, don’t assume your lawyer already knows.

Order your reports:
Make sure you arrange:
• LIM report
• Building report
These reports help you understand exactly what you’re buying.
Speak with your bank
Get your finance approval sorted so there are no surprises later.

Understand the title:
Ask your lawyer about the property title. Is it freehold, cross lease, or unit title? What sort of restrictions,consents,covenants and easements registered on the title.
Each type has different ownership rules, so it’s important to know what you’re purchasing.

Respond to your lawyer’s emails please 🙏:
If your lawyer sends you initial aml documents or information, don’t ignore them or leave them until the last minute. Delays in responding can delay your settlement. 🙄

Remember: your lawyer will send documents in a timely manner, but if responses come late, it can slow down the whole process and we don’t want that.

Stay in touch 📧📲🤳
If you can’t call your lawyer, send a text or email. Communication helps ensure everything moves smoothly.

Our goal is simple:🤗
We want you to clearly understand what you’re buying and enjoy a smooth property transaction without unnecessary stress.
🏠 Happy property-buying journey!

Sincerely
Link law

Just to help you to understand what really happens when you sit down with your lawyer to sign your loan documents for settlement please know, it’s more than just a quick signature.

When we assist you with the settlement, we play a dual role. We act for you as the purchaser lawyers, but we also act for the bank, to ensure the bank’s interests are protected too. That’s why the bank releases funds to our trust account, we provide a solicitor’s undertaking and certificate confirming that the funds will only be used to complete the purchase. If, for any reason, the sale does not proceed, the funds are returned to the bank.

We receive a Letter of Instruction from the bank, which outlines exactly what we need to do such as registering the mortgage on your title and managing the bank’s funds. We follow these instructions step by step.

In addition, under the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act (CCCFA), we have a legal duty to make sure you fully understand what you're signing, your responsibilities, potential risks, and what could happen if things don’t go as planned.

On Signing Day;

We go through all the loan documents with you:

Double-check your ID and confirm that you’re the actual borrower:

Confirm your residency status, to ensure there’s no breach of the Overseas Investment Act (if applicable):

Explain the priority amount that the bank asks us to register on your title, and how it may or may not affect you:

Discuss key risks such as early repayment penalties, default interest, and what happens if you miss payments:

Ensure the mortgage is properly registered on your property, in line with the bank’s requirements:

It might seem like just a few signatures, but there’s a lot of legal work behind the scenes to make sure your settlement goes smoothly.

At Andrew Seton Lawyers, we are here to make the process clear, secure, and stress-free so you can move forward with confidence.

If you have questions about your upcoming settlement or loan documents, feel free to get in touch.

🌟 Why You Should Think About an Enduring Power of Attorney 🌟

You might be thinking, “I’m too young for that!” or “I’m in great health, I don’t need one.” 💪 Maybe you even think, “My family will take care of me if anything happens.” 💖 While that all sounds good, life has a way of surprising us. Sometimes things happen unexpectedly, whether it’s an illness, an accident, or a medical emergency that can leave us mentally incapacitated. 🚑 That’s when having an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) can make all the difference.

What Happens if You Don’t Have an EPA? 🤔

If you don’t have an Enduring Power of Attorney in place, no one automatically has the right to manage your affairs. Even if you share assets with your partner or spouse, they can't make decisions for you or sign things on your behalf if you're not able to. 😕 This can create a lot of stress for your loved ones when they need to step in and help.
If som**hing happens and you're mentally incapacitated, your family would have to apply to the Court to be able to make decisions for you. 🚨 First, they’d need a medical certificate from your doctor to prove your condition.

What Will the Court Do? ⚖️

Without an EPA, the Court will likely appoint two people to help with different areas of your life:
1. Welfare Guardian – This person will look after your personal care and well-being. 💕
2. Property Manager – This person will manage your finances, including your property, bank accounts, and investments. 💰🏡

Who Gets Chosen? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Most of the time, a family member steps up to take on these roles. But what if multiple family members want to be the one in charge? Or what if there aren’t any close family members around? 😟 It can cause confusion, delays, and extra stress at a time when things are already tough.

What Happens After the Court Application? 🏛️

Once an application is made to the Court, an independent lawyer will be assigned to represent you. This lawyer will speak on your behalf and try to figure out what’s in your best interest. But remember, the Court doesn’t know who you’d trust the most in your family or friends, so they’ll rely on the lawyer's advice and family input to make a decision. It can take time and delay the process. ⏳

How Can You Avoid This? ✔️

The solution is simple: set up an Enduring Power of Attorney before anything happens. 😊 This will ensure your wishes are followed, and someone you trust can make decisions for you if needed. It’s a smart part of estate planning that will save you and your family a lot of stress and legal hassle down the road. 💼

So, take a moment to plan ahead. 🌱 It’s one small step today that can give you and your loved ones peace of mind tomorrow. 🙏💖

🤔💭Thinking of Buying or Renting a Unit Title?

If you’re looking at purchasing or renting an apartment or townhouse, it may be part of a unit title complex. This means additional rules and responsibilities apply to both owners and tenants.

🏢 Buying a Unit Title?

✅ You’ll automatically become part of the Body Corporate, which manages common areas.
✅ Ensure you review pre-contract and pre-settlement disclosure statements to understand levies, maintenance plans, and financial obligations.
✅ Be aware of the Unit Titles Act 2010 and your responsibilities as an owner.

🏡 Renting a Unit Title?

✅ Both landlords and tenants have extra responsibilities under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
✅ If you’re unsure whether your rental is part of a unit title, ask your landlord.
✅ Tenants must follow Body Corporate rules in addition to standard tenancy agreements.

📜 Key Responsibilities for Landlords & Tenants

🔹 Landlords must maintain the property, ensure compliance, and inform tenants if selling.
🔹 Tenants must pay rent on time, keep the unit tidy, and respect Body Corporate rules.

Before making any decisions, know your rights and obligations. Need legal advice? Contact us today 📞📩 on [email protected]
