  • What Do South Auckland Residential Property Lawyers Do?

    South Auckland Residential Property Lawyers Unplugged

     

    The Kiwi dream – owning your own home. It’s not as easy as it used to be, but many thousands buy a new home each year.  Others buy more than one piece of real estate, either as a second home or for a rental property.  For the vast majority of these people, they will turn to the services of South Auckland residential property lawyers to carry out the legal aspects of the transaction.  But what does a property lawyer do? Below we take a look at some of the tasks involved in buying or selling property.

     

    Title Search

    When the real estate agent sends the signed Sale and Purchase agreement to your South Auckland residential property lawyers, the legal team start their work. They will star by doing a Title Search a Land Information NZ (LINZ).

     

    A helping handThis will verify that the seller stated on the Sale and Purchase Agreement is the rightful owner with authority to sell the property. If there is any discrepancy this can delay the process. Sometimes it can totally derail the sale.

     

    The precise naming of the entities is vital which is why it is a good idea to use a lawyer for registering the transaction details.

     

    Reviewing The Sale And Purchase Agreement

    The vast majority of property sales in New Zealand use the Real Estate Authority document which was developed by the Auckland District Law Society. Given that, the contract review is relatively simple. However, often vendors or buyers will insert additional clauses.

     

    Discuss these options with your lawyer who will then draft the clauses to meet your needs.

     

    Common clauses are finance related or where Certificates of Compliance are needed, or some repair works have to be completed.

     

    Your lawyer will check the correct details of both sides are correct on the S and P Agreement.

     

    Check Information With Auckland Council

    This often refers to the Certificates of Compliance for relevant renovation or construction works. If works are not consented, the lender is very unlikely to agree to the finance.

     

    Buildings Insurance

    A buyer is responsible for the mortgage as soon as the transaction is settled. That means they are responsible for the security backing the loan i.e. the property. Therefore, it is essential that the property is properly insured from the time of the settlement.

     

    Your lawyers will chase you to make sure that this is in place and will want to see the insurance document prior to settlement.

     

    Being Unconditional

    Once all of the conditions, certificates, and documents are accepted, the buyer’s lawyer will notify the seller’s lawyers that the offer is unconditional. At that stage, it is simply a matter of time until the deal is settled. That means that there is no going back so it is imperative that all details are confirmed to the buyer’s satisfaction before agreeing to go unconditional.

     

    Preparing Data for LINZ

    When the transaction is declared unconditional, the lawyer will prepare the data about the new owner ready to submit to LINZ. It will confirm the name or the owner and the date of settlement.

     

    Mortgage Documents

    Most residential property transactions are financed by a mortgage loan, generally from one of the major banks.

     

    If this is the situation in your case, your lawyers will make contact with the lender to prepare the mortgage documents. This will state that the lender will have security on the property until the mortgage is fully repaid.

     

    Your lawyer will make sure that you have signed the loan documents in advance so that the papers can be transmitted to the mortgage provider.

     

    For settlement, the lender will send the money to your lawyer who will then transmit to the seller’s lawyer.

     

    If you are the seller, part of your contract with the real estate agent will state that their commission must be settle upon completion. This fee will be sent directly by your lawyer to the real estate office of lawyers.

     

    The Last Steps

    The lawyer for the purchaser will notify both Auckland Council and Quotable Value that there is a new owner, and give them the details.

     

    They will also submit the details to LINZ.

     

    South Auckland Residential Property Lawyers – Which One?

    South Auckland residential property lawyersThere are lots of residential property lawyers in South Auckland, so how do you know which one to pick?

     

    A good way to start is by asking friend or family members if there is a lawyer they would suggest. If anyone has a suggestion, check Google reviews to see what other people say.

     

    McVeagh Fleming in Manukau city centre has a good reputation. You can contact them to meet one of their South Auckland residential property lawyers to discuss your potential sale or purchase.

  • What Is A Shareholder Agreement And Why Do You Need One?

    Shareholder Agreement Lawyer – Save Problems Later

    Understanding the Importance of Shareholder Agreements in Business

    A shareholder agreement is not the first document people think about when starting a business. However, from a legal perspective, it is possibly the most important one. A shareholder agreements lawyer North Shore, explains what one is, and why it is so important.

    Definition and Purpose

    A shareholder agreement is similar to a contract and is between the shareholders of a business. It sets out two key aspects:

    1. the rules for the ownership including the transfer of shares and
    2. the operation of the business.

    Other issues that are often included are the management of the company, and how any disputes between the shareholders will be resolved.

     

    The shareholder agreement is key as it states a clear understanding between the shareholders about their roles, responsibilities, and expectations.

    Key Provisions

    Shareholder AgreementsA well-drafted shareholder agreement will describe various situations which may arise within a company. For this reason directors will need to hire a shareholder agreements lawyer North Shore-based for local Albany businesses. The main ones include:

    • Ownership and Transfer of Shares: If an owner wants to move on or cash-in their shares, there needs to be an understanding of how and who can buy those. For example, will the owners want an outsider coming in? Alternatively, if one owner gets divorced, can they transfer their shares to the ex-wife as part of the divorce settlement? Rules about share transfer, right of refusal, and any changes in shareholding need to be covered.
    • Management and Voting Rights: Not so much day-to-day management but on a bigger picture, how will the company be managed? How and who can be appointed as directors, what can the board do, and what are the voting rights of shareholders?
    • Dividends and Profit Distribution: This is a key issue as some owners may want to keep dividends invested in the company while others may want to have them distributed among shareholders.
    • Dispute Resolution: When a company is started, everyone is friendly towards each other. But as time goes on, very often a dispute arises. This might be about the management of the business, distributing dividends, marketing, new products or directions, and more. This section will outline dispute resolution methods including mediation and arbitration. A clear outline at the start can save a lot of friction and animosity later.
    • Exit Strategy: How can a shareholder exit the business? This section includes how to value their shares, who can buy them, and the rights of remaining shareholders.

    Importance of a Shareholder Agreement

    A shareholder agreement is essential for a number of reasons:

    Protects Interests

    The interests in the business of each shareholder are protected by describing their rights and obligations. By describing how and to whom shares can be transferred or sold, this then helps to protect the continuity of the company.

    Dispute Resolution

    Disputes will almost inevitably arise from time to time. Some might be relatively minor while others can be significant. A dispute can raise emotions and reduce logic so a shareholders’ agreement will set out who disputes should be handled. It is easier to get agreement on the process before it is needed than during any dispute. This will also save time and expensive legal work.

    Clarity and Certainty

    Businesses don’t like surprises. Clarity and certainty are much more preferable. The shareholders’ agreement creates this by stating any rules about management and decision-making, how and when profits can be distributed.

    Anticipating Situations

    The agreement can include clauses for special circumstances of the company and its shareholders. These might be the death or disability of a shareholder, how and when new shareholders might be allowed, and how to handle the sale of the company.

    Conclusion

    Shareholder agreements lawyer North ShoreWe have seen that a shareholder agreement is a key document for any company with multiple shareholders. It provides a clear framework for the ownership and operation of the business, protecting the interests of all shareholders and promoting the smooth and efficient running of the company.

     

    By addressing key issues such as the transfer of shares, management, profit distribution, and dispute resolution, the agreement helps to prevent conflicts and ensure the long-term success of the business. Every company should consider drafting a shareholder agreement to safeguard its future and foster a harmonious relationship among its shareholders.

     

    To ensure that your business and the shareholders are protected in this way, talk to a shareholder agreements lawyer North Shore for advice and drafting of the document. McVeagh Fleming is a leading law firm in Albany, on the North Shore.

  • Divorce Lawyer In Auckland – When Your Partner Doesn’t Want To Separate

    Auckland Divorce Lawyer – Coaching For A Relationship Separation

     

    The conventional wisdom when it comes to divorce is to hire a lawyer. The two parties then each take a corner of the boxing ring, and for many people, it turns into a battleground. One lawyer sends out an attacking letter, to which the other lawyer responds in a similar tone.

     

    Arguments and angerAfter months, or even years, of spending thousands of dollars and wrestling through the details, you eventually reach an agreement and sign the separation agreement. Worse still, if you cannot reach an agreement between you, your ex, and the two lawyers, you have someone you don’t know, a judge, lay out how your property is split and when you can be with your children.

     

    Auckland divorce lawyers are not the only option for couples looking to begin the separation process. There is an expanding demand for more and different approaches to separation that are effective, swift and more cost-effective. Even some divorce lawyers do not like the current separation model and, as a result, offer a better combination of solutions.

     

    One such divorce lawyer in Auckland is Adrianne McLean from Reset Coach.

     

    Bringing together two decades of her experience as a divorce lawyer, Adrianne McLean through Reset Coach, provides individuals with the coaching they need to more easily and affordably go through their divorce better than otherwise. Divorce coaching includes teaching the two parties key skills to get through and over the separation process, regardless of what has led them to this situation in the first place.

     

    The average divorce in New Zealand comes with a high cost of tens of thousands of dollars. One figure that is often quoted is up to $30,000. However, coaching can provide a serious cost benefit. Not only does it avoid hours spent with a lawyer (which can often blur the lines between the emotional and practical aspects), but it is also significantly cheaper and more accessible for most couples.

     

    When you have agreed on a parenting plan and how to divide the relationship property assets, it’s time for a new chapter in your life. This could involve grieving for some people, fear of the unknown, and being nervous of being alone.

     

    Other people though might see the divorce as an opportunity to explore new paths of potential or taking action towards implementing changes that will promote physical and emotional fulfilment post-divorce. Each person will be different, and what looks good for one, might be an awful prospect for the other.

     

    Divorce lawyer in AucklandDivorce coaching will enable both parties to see their way forward and support them on that path, whether it is the grieving route, or road to the life of potential.

     

    There are very few divorce coaches in the city, and even fewer that bring together coaching and the legal skills to make the changes in law. Reset Coach is based in Takapuna and also has an office in St Heliers. If you need a divorce lawyer in Auckland that also offers coaching, click this link for more details.

  • Auckland Property Dispute Lawyer – Neighbourhood Disputes

    Problems With Your Neighbours? Talk To An Auckland Property Dispute Lawyer

     

    If you have a dispute about your property with another party, don’t be too concerned. These issues are quite common and can usually be resolved if both parties are open to a sensible discussion. However, if things escalate, or of one side does not fully understand the situation, then look for a lawyer who can explain, advise, and act on the issue. An Auckland property disputes lawyer will face a variety of issues, but experience ensures that the rights and interests of clients are safeguarded in such matters. Let’s explore some of the most common problems seen with property disputes:

But don’t worry, a property dispute lawyer can help. They will analyse the property deeds, conduct surveys if necessary, and represent their client’s interests in negotiations or court proceedings to resolve the dispute.

     

    Sometimes people need to use someone else’s property for specific reasons, like accessing a road or utility lines. Disagreements may occur with respect to an easement or right of way, such as the extent of it or if one party intends to put a restriction on its use or even eliminate it altogether. Auckland property dispute lawyers help clients understand easement agreements, resolve conflicts, and protect their rights.

     

    Landlord disputeProperty dispute lawyers can offer assistance with tenancy disputes, ranging from rent to eviction notices, lease breaches or property damage. With their advice on New Zealand’s tenancy laws as well as potential negotiations, mediations and even legal action if necessary, lawyers can help give you the best chance of resolving your landlord or tenant problem.

     

    Tenants and landlords often find themselves in disputes when it comes to the complexity of commercial leases. Such disagreements may arise due to the intricate nature of these contracts. Commercial property disputes can cover topics like rent, property upkeep, lease extensions, or breaches of agreement. Specialists in commercial property law can provide assistance to landlords and tenants as they work through negotiations, mediations, arbitrations and court cases. This can result in a mutually beneficial solution for all sides involved.

     

    Trespass is another common matter that property dispute lawyers have to deal with. Trespassing is when someone goes onto your property without your permission. If they then interfere with your use of that land or building, that is known as nuisance. A lawyer can assist you in seeking restraining orders, damages, or an injunction in order to put an end to the offending behaviour.

     

    Auckland property dispute lawyerSometimes there can be conflicts over property titles and ownership. These conflicts can be caused by mistakes in land records, opposing claims, fraudulent transfers, or adverse possession claims. Property dispute lawyers can help by looking into the chain of title, resolving discrepancies, and representing their clients in court to establish or defend their rights to the property.

     

    Auckland property dispute lawyers can help with many common property-related issues. They offer guidance, negotiate settlements, and represent clients in court if needed.

  • Auckland Employee Lawyer – If Your Boss Is Being

    Four Areas That An Auckland Employee Lawyer Can Help

    There are many different ways that an Auckland employee lawyer can help members of staff of organisations. Often employees feel intimidated by their employer but these days, there are laws to give them protection against bad bosses.  Below are a few ways employees can seek redress.

     

    There are four main categories of personal grievance that employees often face where Auckland employee lawyer can give advice and assistance in progressing their case.

     

    Regulations

    The first relates to regulated documents that employers are required to provide to all employees.  This includes contracts, now known as Employment Agreements and Job Descriptions. All employers must provide these two documents to staff.  Failure to do so can result in fines of $1,000 per employee.

     

    Harassment

    Harrassment at workHarassment can take many forms.  It is not always committed by the employer but can also be, and often is, caused by fellow employees. Some forms of harassment include discrimination for any reason including gender, sexual, age, and race.  Any form of discrimination can and should be challenged by staff members.

     

    Bullying is another example of harassment.

     

    This is often carried out by employers who want to coerce a staff member into carrying out specific tasks. But often other employees are bullies too.  This can take the form of undermining the staff member, alienating them, or simply threatening them with force or violence.

     

    Bullying is often subtle and accumulates over time until it becomes unbearable for the victim. No-one should have to endure bullying so if your employer is guilty of this you can seek legal help.

     

    Further, if another member of staff is bullying an employee, and it has been brought to the employer’s attention, then the company needs to take action. If they do not, then again, the employee ought to talk to an Auckland lawyer for employees.

     

    Restructuring

    Often a company will want to reduce its number of staff or re-organise its operations. This used to be called redundancy but is now more commonly called restructuring.

     

    It is a complex area of employment law, and an employer cannot simply tell some staff that they are no longer employed.  If your boss tries to tell you that your job has been replaced or removed, you can talk to a lawyer to make sure the company followed the correct procedure.

     

    Dismissal

    Many times, employers complain that it is difficult to sack an employee. There are good reasons for this.

     

    In the past, companies could dismiss a member of staff if they simply did not like the person.  There were other grounds too.  However, many bosses would try to dismiss people for spurious reasons such as to avoid paying bonuses.

     

    These have been deemed unlawful so that now if an employee is not performing properly, there is a strict process to follow before that person can be sacked.

     

    Auckland employee lawyerIf an employee feels that they have been unjustifiably dismissed, they can bring a personal grievance against the employer.

     

    Employment law is very complex and needs careful attention before making any announcements, decisions, or taking action.  If your boss has not followed the right processes, or you have been the subject of harassment, you can talk to an Auckland employee lawyer for advice and assistance. A good lawyer for this is McVeagh Fleming in the Auckland CBD.

  • South Auckland Subdivision Lawyer, Advice Subdividing Land

    South Auckland Subdivision Lawyer – What Is Subdividing?

     

    With the rising value of building land in South Auckland, there is good money to be made if people have large blocks of land.  There are two options:-

     

    • You can sell as it is to a developer or
    • You can subdivide the land and sell off each parcel of land.

     

    The first option is easier but the price for unconsented land is not has high as several blocks of land which have consent from the Council for building work.  However, option two takes time, money and a lot of expertise to bring it about. There are many rules, and regulations that you need to abide by which can be very complex and challenging. It is not a cheap process and it is easy to make mistakes making it an even more expensive process. Therefore it is a good idea to work with a South Auckland subdivision lawyer to make sure you are complying with the required documentations and process.

     

    How Do You Subdivide Land?

    Is Your Land Suitable For Subdivision?

    The first step is to see if you can in fact subdivide your land. You can make an initial query by going to the Auckland Unitary Plan to see if you can subdivide your land.  Find out the zone for your location and they will give you “some general information about subdivision if your property is zoned.”

     

    Given the potential cost of the project, “general information” might be a bit loose so it is wise to check if your land is subdividable at the earliest stage. The best way to be sure of this is to hire an expert who will be able to advise you.

     

    Factors For Subdividing Land In Auckland

    Stonefields Residential Subdivision AucklandldThere are a few obvious factors such as the size of the land but some less obvious ones include:

    The availability of services such as drainage for waste and stormwater. These may not be available at all and will need to be installed. Alternatively, existing drainage may not have sufficient capacity for your plans so it will need to be upgraded.

     

    Other issues to take into account relate to vehicles and include access, parking and space to manoeuvre vehicles.

     

    The intended use is also a factor to take into account. For example will the land be used for residential, business, or commercial activities and construction?  This will be determined by the zoning.

     

    Types of Subdivision

    This is where it starts to get complicated.

     

    Land is registered by title and there are two general types of land title.

     

    • Fee simple is the most common type of subdivision. It splits the current property into two or more separate entities.

     

    • Unit title gives ownership title to a number of individuals for their own residential unit within in a consolidated building or property. A body corporate is established so that each unit title holder contributes to cover costs for common areas such as external walls, gardens, and access.

     

    There are other types but they are becoming less common.

     

    Range Of Costs For Subdividing In South Auckland

    It is difficult to say what the costs will be because each plot of land is different.

     

    The biggest cost is the infrastructure such as drainage and vehicle access. Proximity to existing infrastructure and the terrain are big influences in the infrastructure cost. However, the Council gives a range of $120,000 to $150,000 for subdividing a single section into two.

     

    On top of infrastructure costs will be fees for professional advisers including surveyors, lawyers, engineers and planners. You will also have legal documents including a Record of Title and Land Information New Zealand fees.

     

    Getting Legal Advice From A South Auckland Subdivision Lawyer

    South Auckland Subdivision LawyerClearly subdividing is a complex legal issue with many potential pitfalls and certainly a lot of convoluted language to understand.

     

    As the cost of subdividing land is so high and the rewards even higher, it makes sense to work with a range of experts in each field. For the legal work you can contact McVeagh Fleming, a South Auckland subdivision lawyer with an office in Manukau.

  • Carpet Cleaning For Auckland Retirement Villages

    Carpet Cleaning For Auckland Retirement Villages

    Auckland retirement village carpet cleaningRetirement villages need to be clean at all costs because they are homes to older people. You will need to make the place feel like home. Some of the retirees are taken to such retirement villages unwillingly if they are not in a position to make that decision independently. Hence you need to make the environment as friendly as possible so that they can adjust with time. Ensure that all the janitors do their work as required. There are sensitive things to stress on, for example, the carpet. You need to make sure that carpet cleaning is done effectively.

    The points that follow show the importance of carpet cleaning for retirement villages.

    It Contributes To A Healthier Environment
    You do not want your clients to start having allergic reactions, respiratory problems alongside many other issues that can be caused by dust and allergens that might have been stuck in the carpet. Get carpet cleaning services to come to your rescue now and then. Your janitors may not be efficient if you put them in charge of cleaning the carpets. Do yourself a favour and hire professionals to kill those allergens for you since they have the necessary equipment to do so.
    It Improves The Appearance Of The Place
    Very few people tend to think about the impression a carpet has on a room. It covers the most area in a place, depending on its size. Every day so much dirt is trickled into the carpet because it is used frequently. If the condition of the carpet deteriorates and is dirty, the overall appearance of the room is equally affected. Imagine what good the carpet cleaning services will do for you? They will leave the carpet fibres looking so brand new that you will be so obsessed with their services.
    It Gets Rid Of All The Dirt And Bacteria
    The equipment used by these professional cleaning services will leave your carpet looking spotless. Forget the vacuum cleaner this once! It will only get away with the dirt on the surface of the carpet. Any debris whatsoever that has been immersed in the fibre will remain. Carpet cleaning, however, will get through to the fibres. Be careful with how long you take before getting the carpet cleaned since having bacteria in the carpet can cause difficulty in breathing-if there is anyone with allergies or asthma. This is because bacteria bring about odour.

    The above points show the benefits of carpet cleaning services for retirement villages. You are supposed to be mindful of the environment that your clients live in. They are there to spend the remaining days of their life, so make it better, not worse. Ensure you have days set up for your carpets to get cleaned. As you also look for a good company, ensure that they are good at what they do. You could ask around from friends and family they would know one or two companies with carpet cleaning services. Get some reviews before choosing a particular company. Go Green Carpet Cleaning has plenty of experience cleaning carpets for retirement villages.

    It is a lot better to let the pros handle interior painting because you are going to have everything ready to go quickly. This is essential for those on a timeline wanting the project out of the way promptly.

    Professional Results

    Why go with something that isn’t going to be reliable? With a DIY project, you are going to be hoping it all works out and this assumption is what makes it challenging to deal with curveballs.

    It is a lot easier to get someone to come in and take a look at what is happening. This is essential for those who want to make sure they are doing things the right way.

    When a specialist comes in, they will customize each detail and make sure the results are excellent. This is a must for those selective about how their property looks year-round.

    Safer

    It’s important to think about safety when it comes to a task such as this. While most people assume interior painting isn’t going to take a lot out of them, it can become a prolonged task that is risky depending on where you are painting. For example, if you are trying to get into those “hard to reach” areas, it’s not going to be as simple as trying to do it from a distance. You will have to get onto a ladder and that is a risk some people don’t want to take especially if they haven’t done this before!

    So, what do you end up doing if that is the case?

    You have to make sure to go with a professional that will keep things simple and is going to know how to handle these cases easily. The professional will have seen it all and isn’t going to reduce the quality or cut corners when it is time to get into those challenging areas. Instead, they are going to offer excellent quality that is right in line with the rest of the property.

    The Best Way To Upgrade A Hot Water Cylinder

    Every home needs to have a hot water cylinder because it provides heated water for the bathroom, kitchen and sometimes the heating system.  These cylinders come in a range of shapes and sizes which means you have to be careful when choosing the right one for your home.  If you are in the market for a new hot water cylinder, you have to consider certain factors such as capacity, energy efficiency, and size.  A lot of people find choosing a cylinder daunting, but when you know what to look for, this task will be much easier. If you are looking for a North Shore hot water cylinder upgrade, the following can help.

    The Capacity And Cylinder Size

    North Shore hot water cylinder upgradeOne of the most important factors to consider is the amount of hot water the cylinder can hold.  The amount you need will mainly depend on the size of your family. You do not want to get a cylinder that is too big for your family needs as it will cost more to keep the water heated and waste energy.

    The problem is that choosing a cylinder that is too small or too large will result in inefficiency.  If you are unsure about the size you need, you should talk to a professional North Shore hot water cylinder upgrade plumber.  They will help you choose the right cylinder for your home and family needs.

    Open Vented Or Unvented Cylinder?

    When you have an open vented cylinder, cold water is drawn from a cold-water tank.  Unvented systems will not have this tank.  The unvented cylinder is considered more efficient and will run heat water faster.

    Unvented hot water cylinders also handle higher water pressure which should be considered.  If you currently have an open vented cylinder, you should consider upgrading to an unvented one.  If you have an unvented cylinder, changing to an open vented one is harder as more space is required.

    The Heat Loss And Gain Figures

    When shopping for a hot water cylinder upgrade, you have to take note of these figures.  This tells you how quickly the cylinder will reheat the water and how long it takes for it to cool down.  All of this information determines how energy efficient the cylinder is and whether it will work for your family.

    Many of the top cylinders on the market will have thick insulation.  This will help them retain the water temperature for longer.  Smaller cylinders will be able to reheat the water faster, but some larger cylinders are just as good.

    The Durability And Energy Efficiency Of The Cylinder

    The hot water cylinders on the market are energy-star rated and you need to look at this.  The higher the rating, the more energy-efficient and the greater your energy saving.  While this is important, you also need to consider the durability of the cylinder.  You will want one that lasts for years before needing to be replaced.  When looking at cylinders, you should only consider those that have a 5-year service warranty or more.

    The Cost Of A North Shore Hot Water Cylinder Upgrade

    The overall cost of getting a new cylinder has to be considered.  There are many cylinders that are very expensive, but some shopping around can help you find a high-quality but affordable one.  You will need to research the cylinder before you buy to ensure you are getting the right one.  You also need to look at reviews and product ratings to help you choose.
