Whether you’re creating a title for family, selling part of your land, funding retirement, developing a lifestyle block, or restructuring ownership of property, Regent Law can help complete the legal side of your subdivision and create your new titles.
We assist clients throughout Whangārei, Northland and New Zealand with a wide range of subdivision projects. Every subdivision is different and often involves co-ordination between surveyors, councils, lenders, electricity suppliers and property owners. Our role is to guide the legal process, identify potential issues early, and help keep your project moving.
Most subdivision projects begin with a surveyor obtaining resource consent and preparing the LT Plan. Once those steps are underway, we work alongside your surveyor to complete the legal requirements needed to create your new titles.
We regularly assist with:
• Fee simple subdivisions (division of land into two or more lots)
• Boundary adjustments and lot reconfigurations
• Cross-lease to freehold conversions
• Lifestyle block subdivisions
• Family property restructures
• Creation of titles for children or family members
• Easements, rights of way and land covenants
• Bank consent requirements
• Sale or transfer of newly created lots
• Trust-owned property
• Vesting land as road or reserve
Why choose Regent Law for your subdivision?
Subdivisions often involve much more than simply creating new titles. We regularly assist with trust-owned property, lender requirements, family arrangements, easements, covenants, transfers and ownership restructuring.
Every project presents its own challenges and opportunities. We enjoy helping clients work through the practical issues that arise along the way and finding solutions that keep projects moving.
Fees
Because every subdivision is different, we cannot provide a fee estiate without reviewing the resource consent and LT Plan.
As a guide, legal fees for many 2-6 lot straightforward subdivisions fall between $6,000 and $12,000 plus GST and disbursements, although more complex projects may fall outside this range.
Once we have reviewed the subdivision documentation, we can provide a tailored estimate for your project.
All subdivision instructions require a retainer payment at the time of engagement.
