What you see at an open home is only part of what you are buying.

Before you sign an agreement there are important details to check about the property, your finance and the terms of your offer. A few early checks can help you avoid stressful surprises later.

Our recent blog covers key things to look at before committing to a purchase.

Before you sign an agreement, it’s worth slowing down and making sure you have the right information. A property agreement is legally binding, and a few early checks can help you avoid stressful surprises later.

Our property team helps buyers and sellers understand what they are signing, identify potential issues and keep the legal process moving clearly from start to finish.

Before a sale or purchase reaches settlement, there may be conditions to review, due diligence to complete, finance to confirm and ownership details to get right.

Four people, one shared job: making a hard time a little easier.

Behind our Trusts, Wills and Estates work is a team who see families at some of their most uncertain moments. Director Brittany Gibson leads the team, with Registered Legal Executives Stephanie, Frances and Rebecca handling everything from wills and probate to estate administration and trust matters, often stepping in when things have gotten complicated or overwhelming.

What connects them is how they work. Steady, clear, and genuinely invested in getting families through it.

Land gets bought and sold, businesses get restructured, families grow and change, and wills don't always keep up.

Our personal law team works across wills, trusts, estates and conveyancing, and one of the most common things we come across is a will that suited someone's life years ago but no longer matches it.

If yours hasn't been looked at in years, now's a good time to check everything still works as intended.

Some estates are straightforward enough that families manage them without help.

Frances says the estates that get complicated usually involve property, farming or business assets, family trusts, blended families, or beneficiaries who are hard to track down. Those are the situations where a wrong step early on causes real problems later, not because someone did something wrong on purpose, but because they didn't know what to look out for.

Her advice: if you're not sure which situation you're in, it's worth finding out before you start rather than after something's gone wrong.

As a Replay - NZ Community Collection point, we're making it easier for our community to get involved.

When kids have access to the gear they need, they show up, participate, and local clubs stay alive. Replay helps make that happen, and so can you.

If you have gear gathering dust at home, drop it into your nearest Treadwell Gordon office before 31 August.
