🏡 PAID OFF YOUR HOME LOAN? YOUR MORTGAGE MAY STILL BE ON YOUR TITLE.

A lot of homeowners don’t realise that paying off their home loan in full does not automatically remove the bank’s registered mortgage from the Record of Title.

That mortgage can remain registered until it is formally discharged - even though you no longer owe the bank any money.

🔎 We’re offering a FREE mortgage check.

Complete the quick form here: https://form.jotform.com/262018443833859

Complete our quick 5-second online form and The Law Lady will check your property’s Record of Title for FREE to see whether a mortgage is still registered.

✅ No cost to check
✅ Takes just seconds to submit your details
✅ We’ll let you know whether a mortgage is still registered

If there is a mortgage registered and you would like it removed, we can arrange the discharge for:

$350 + GST + disbursements

👉 Think you’ve paid off your mortgage? Check whether it’s actually off your title.

Complete the quick form here: https://form.jotform.com/262018443833859

Paying off the loan and removing the registered mortgage are two different things.

Settlement day doesn’t always go to plan, and delays can happen on either side. ⏳🏡

If a purchaser cannot settle on time, the vendor may charge penalty interest and issue a formal settlement notice giving the purchaser a specified timeframe to complete settlement. ⚖️ If settlement does not occur within that timeframe, the purchaser risks losing their deposit and may face further legal and financial consequences.

If settlement is delayed due to the vendor’s default (for example, they are unable to provide vacant possession or the required settlement documents), the purchaser may also have rights including claiming compensation for losses caused by the delay. 📄

It is important in either situation to communicate with your lawyer early so the issue can be addressed quickly and your rights are protected. 🤝

Today we hosted our Pink Ribbon Breakfast at The Law Lady, raising awareness and funds for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, and supported the event. From the beautiful pink treats to the meaningful conversations shared over coffee, it was such a special morning to be part of.

We are so grateful for the support of our community and proud to play a small part in helping fund breast cancer education, research, patient support, and advocacy. 🌸

And of course… a special mention to our tiniest guest (Danielle’s niece) who kept everyone smiling all morning 💕

🏡 Thinking about refinancing your home loan?

A refinance simply means replacing your current mortgage with a new one - often to secure a better interest rate, access equity, consolidate debt, or move to a different bank.

A lot of people worry that refinancing sounds complicated… but the good news is, we handle the legal side of the process for you from start to finish. ✔️

Here’s a simple overview of what usually happens:

• Your bank or mortgage broker arranges the new lending
• We receive the new loan and security documents
• We review everything and explain the documents to you in plain English
• Your old mortgage is repaid and discharged
• The new mortgage is registered with Land Information New Zealand
• Settlement is completed electronically

Most refinances can be completed without you needing to take time off work or attend the office in person.

Our goal is to make the process smooth, stress-free, and easy to understand - while keeping you updated every step of the way.

If you’re considering refinancing and would like a fixed-fee quote, feel free to get in touch with us today 📞

🏡 Three Things to Check before Signing ✍️

Ready to submit your offer? Things can move quickly, and you may not always have time to check in with your solicitor first - so here are three key things to keep in mind:

• Price – make sure you’ve already spoken with your bank or mortgage broker to understand your borrowing limits. It’s also worth reviewing recent sales of comparable properties so you can offer with confidence and avoid overpaying.

• Conditions – your agreement should protect your position. For most purchasers (especially first home buyers), we recommend including conditions for finance, due diligence, and a builder’s report.

• Settlement Date – this is a crucial deadline. We generally suggest allowing at least 15 working days from the date the agreement becomes unconditional, giving both parties’ lawyers enough time to prepare everything ahead of settlement day.

Unsure or need further assistance? Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today!

2 years of The Law Lady 🤍

Today marks 2 years since I took the leap and opened The Law Lady Limited.

What started as an idea (and a lot of late nights) has grown into a business I’m incredibly proud of. Built on clear advice, fixed fees, and genuinely looking after our clients.

Over the past two years we’ve:

✨Helped nearly 1000 (916 to be exact) clients buy, sell, and refinance property!
✨Built amazing relationships with clients, agents, and referrers.
✨Grown a team that truly cares about the work we do.

To everyone who has trusted us, referred us, or supported us - thank you. It genuinely means the world.

And to my team (Claire, Joella & Arnaka), I couldn’t do this without you 🤍

Here’s to continuing to grow something special.

Do I need a lawyer before making an offer? 🏡

Thinking of putting in an offer on a property? Before you sign on the dotted line ✍️, it’s a good idea to have your lawyer review the agreement and any documents first.

In New Zealand, Sale & Purchase Agreements are legally binding once signed ⚖️ and a quick review early on can help:
• spot any issues 🔍
• explain the fine print 📄
• make sure you’re properly protected ✅

A little legal advice now can save a lot of stress later 😌

That’s what we’re here for at The Law Lady 💁‍♀️
Feel free to give us a call 📞
