Thank you, Grant and Fern, for helping me purchase my first property. The experience working with you was incredibly fast and transparent. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a property lawyer. Although they’re based in Auckland, they provide services outside of Auckland with no delays.

Approval for a refinance depends on your financial profile, current mortgage, and lender policies. Working with skilled mortgage brokers and a refinance lawyer can improve your chances of obtaining finance, especially if you’re seeking debt restructuring or navigating interfamily loans. We also assist clients dealing with urgent refinancing situations, helping them present strong applications to lenders.
Some lenders may charge break fees or penalties if you refinance before the end of a fixed-term loan. It’s important to have your loan documents reviewed carefully to understand potential costs.
Our Property Lawyers provides detailed advice on your existing mortgage terms and can assist in managing loan documents and discharge procedures to avoid surprises.
Negotiating a refinance involves comparing interest rate offers, reviewing repayment terms, and understanding lender conditions.
Whether you’re focused on debt consolidation or reducing your loan repayment, legal insight can give you an edge in the negotiation process.
Yes, debt consolidation is a common reason for refinancing. You can combine personal loans, credit card balances, or other high-interest debts into your existing loan. However, it’s important to understand the long-term implications.
We ensure the loan documents are drafted properly, and that your cash contribution (if required) is accurately accounted for in the transaction. Our service is designed to protect you while supporting long-term financial goals.
Refinancing involving family members—such as via interfamily loans or cash contribution agreements—requires careful legal documentation. Land Law can assist with drafting loan agreements, guarantor documentation, refinancing, and protecting against future relationship property claims. It’s essential to clearly outline property sharing expectations to avoid legal disputes down the road.
Most mortgage refinances can be completed in 5 to 10 working days, depending on lender response times and document readiness.
We specialise in making your refinance seamless — handling the legal side while coordinating with your mortgage adviser and lender to keep everything on track.
Yes. While a skilled mortgage broker can help secure financing, a refinance lawyer protects your legal interests. We ensure your loan documents, discharge, interest rate terms, and loan repayment schedules align with your goals. Legal support is especially important for complex situations like inter-family loans advising, relationship property agreements, or when you change banks.
