Levi and I joined the sideline supporters at today’s game. Cool to see the new playing strips.

💙🦈 What a way to kick off the season! 🦈💙

Massive shoutout to our Beachlands Maraetai Sharks U85KG team after a strong Round 1 performance against the Hamilton Marist Bulldogs!

🔥 Final score: Sharks 23 – Bulldogs 10 🔥

The boys showed incredible resilience right across the game, digging deep when it counted. Our veteran players really stepped up and led from the front – awesome to see that experience shine through! 💪

And how good are we looking in the new kit?! 😍

Big thanks to all our supporters who got behind the team – your energy makes a difference!

Let’s keep the momentum going… Go Markos! 🙌

The event was a 5km Rotary Club of Botany Downs community walk on Sunday 15 March 2026 at the Manukau Yacht & Motor Boat Club, Auckland, raising funds for Days for Girls dignity kits and education resources.

Buying a home is exciting but before you sign anything, it’s important to make sure your agreement includes the right legal protections.

At Sutcliffe Matson Law, we work with you to make sure these three key conditions aren’t overlooked:

LIM Report
A Land Information Memorandum (LIM) provides essential council information about the property — covering zoning, drainage, consents, and potential risks such as flooding or land instability.

Finance Condition
Even if you’ve already spoken to your bank, a finance clause gives you legal protection if your loan approval doesn’t come through as expected.

Building Report Condition
A professional building inspection can reveal hidden issues like leaks, structural damage, or unconsented work. Including this clause gives you an exit if a serious problem is discovered.

Without these conditions, you could be legally required to go ahead with the purchase, even if major issues arise later.

We can help make sure everything is in place from the start, so your purchase is secure and stress-free.

Are you buying a home? 🏡
Before signing a Sale & Purchase Agreement, it’s important to get legal advice so you can understand your obligations, timeframes, and any conditions in the contract.

Once the agreement is signed, there’s usually a conditional period. This is when things like finance approval, LIM reports and building inspections are completed.

When all conditions are met, the agreement becomes unconditional. Your lawyer then prepares for settlement, making sure funds and documents are ready.

On settlement day, funds are exchanged, the property is officially yours, and you can collect the keys. 🙌

Buying a home is exciting and sometimes a little overwhelming. That’s where we come in. Our team helps make sure you understand the process, avoid surprises, and feel supported from start to settlement.

Here’s how we help:
✅ Review your Sale & Purchase Agreement
✅ Assist with KiwiSaver applications
✅ Explain LIM reports, titles and disclosures
✅ Review mortgage documents
✅ Guide you through settlement day

For more detail on one of the most important parts of the process, you can also read our blog on LIM reports and why they matter when buying a home: https://loom.ly/zIejUDE

Whether you’re just starting your search or already under contract, feel free to get in touch, we’d love to help.

The start of the year is a great time to get your Will sorted, or to review an existing one if your situation has changed.
If you have assets or people you care about, having a Will in place helps ensure your wishes are clear and protected.
