NZ-qualified lawyers

If your deal falls through, we’ve got you.

Things don’t always go to plan. Finance falls over, a building report comes back dodgy, someone changes their mind. Most lawyers will still bill you. We don’t.

Once you’ve signed our engagement letter, our guarantee kicks in. If your purchase doesn’t reach settlement, we’ll open your next file and carry on, without charging you again for the work already done.

The legal team

Meet the people doing the work.

Tim Grace, Director, Point Legal, smiling

Kemba’s legal work is carried out by Point Legal, the New Zealand law firm behind every purchase. Its qualified lawyers work through an audited trust account and carry professional indemnity insurance. Tim Grace leads the team.

“When you let a lawyer into one of the big moments of your life, that is not something to take for granted. My job is to see you and your situation clearly, and then get it done.”

Tim has spent fifteen years advising homeowners, business owners and investors. He’s read the standard agreement a thousand times and run conditions across every kind of purchase. Whatever’s worrying you about your first home, he’s already seen it go both ways.

You deal with the same lawyer from the moment you send us the agreement to the moment the keys are yours, backed by a dashboard that shows you exactly where things are at.

Four steps.
That’s it.

It all happens on the dashboard, not in a filing cabinet.
01.
Tell us where you're at
One question. Still looking, about to make an offer, or already signed. That's what decides whether we book you a call or open your file today.
02.
Set your file up
About ten minutes, in any order that suits. Drop your agreement in and we read the address, price, deposit and dates straight off it.
03.
We do the legal bit
Contract reviewed, searches run, every condition date chased before it lands. You watch it happen on your dashboard instead of ringing for an update.
04.
Sign, settle, move in
You sign digitally, on a video call. Then we send the money, get the title sorted, and text you when the keys are ready to pick up.

From people who got the keys.

“We were buying and selling on the same day, with a bank, two agents and a lot of moving parts. We always knew what we needed to do, and everything happened when it was supposed to.”

“Buying our first home was a big step for our family. The KiwiSaver, bank and paperwork could have been overwhelming, but every question was answered clearly and we always knew the next step. We felt looked after all the way to getting the keys.”
Nash & Jasmin
Auckland · first-home buyers, bought in 2026
★★★★★
“Our purchase got complicated fast. The price changed, settlement moved, and two banks had to line up. We could ask questions as they came up and always knew what needed to happen next. It all settled smoothly on the day.”
