A nationwide issue affecting all of New Zealand are recent changes to the earthquake-strengthening of buildings. We are market leaders in issues surrounding the seismic performance of buildings, and the impact of this on commercial leasing and other property transactions.
Overseas investment remains strong throughout New Zealand. Our connection with the rural sector means that we have specialist expertise in assisting overseas clients through the consenting process to acquire land and invest in property (particularly farm land) in New Zealand.
