The Property Conveyancing Experts

Helping clients with selling, buying and anything property law related for over 25 years
Whether you are a first home buyer, selling your home, looking to change the bank that holds a mortgage over your property, expanding your investment portfolio or seeing if a house and land build package is right for you, we can help.

Our authentic service eliminates risk and reduces stress as you navigate your property journey.

We have clients all over New Zealand and some overseas – location is no boundary with our technology.

I am a Mount local since way back. I have worked in the legal industry for more than 10 years and prior to this in real estate administration. I graduated as a Legal Executive close to 15 years ago and since then have moved up the ranks to become a Registered Conveyancing Practitioner and have recently graduated with a Batchelor of Business Degree.

I have considerable experience in all things conveyancing whether buying or selling; a first home or an investment, I can guide you through property transactions efficiently without the legal jargon providing you a friendly and stress-free journey.

Outside of work I enjoy family time and getting outdoors camping, tramping and fishing.
