Our office will close at 1pm on Monday, 23 December 2013 and reopen on Monday, 6 January 2014 – but many law firms will not re-open until much later in January.

In this newsletter we cover unit titles. What you need to know when selling a unit title property, what information must be disclosed and how to request that information.

For first home buyers, our article explains KiwiSaver. How to withdraw funds for purchase and important information on how to allow sufficient time between going unconditional and settlement day.

If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact us, we’d love to hear from you. And for any urgent matters, please contact Wade Hansen, Partner, on 021 286 3267.

As we head into the festive season we wish you a bumper summer of property sales.
