Subdivisions

 

Header Property Law

Our property lawyers handle large and small residential subdivision projects in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

Subdivision is a specialised area of property law that requires an in-depth understanding of the relevant statutory and local authority requirements, as well as the ability to co-ordinate effectively with the other professionals involved in the process, including planners, surveyors, valuers and resource management consultants.

Our team has successfully completed land division projects ranging from large residential subdivisions involving more than a hundred individual lots, down to small projects involving the division of one lot into two.

We can attend to all of the matters involved, including:

  • Checking subdivision consent terms and plans
  • Liaising with surveyors
  • Communicating with council and council solicitors
  • Crafting terms and conditions for easements and land covenants
  • Preparing new title applications
  • Arranging mortgagee consents
  • Lodging and registering subdivision documents with Land Information New Zealand
  • Completing issue of new titles
  • Drafting terms for agreements to sell subdivision lots

No matter the scale of the proposed subdivision, we provide timely and professional service backed with regular progress reporting.
