Your purchase is handled by Point Legal.
You’re about to move several hundred thousand dollars through a service you found online. It’s reasonable to want to know exactly who is doing the work.
Tim Grace, Director, Point Legal
“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.”
Point Legal is led by Tim Grace, who has spent fifteen years advising homeowners, business owners and investors. Every file is handled by a dedicated lawyer on his team, trained to work the same way he does: read the standard agreement like it’s the first time, and run conditions across every kind of purchase properly.
You get one named lawyer directly, not a call centre or whoever picks up. The same person from the moment you send us the agreement to the moment the keys are yours.
Kemba builds and runs the technology. The legal work is carried out by Point Legal Limited, a New Zealand law firm directed by Tim Grace, regulated by the New Zealand Law Society. Point Legal holds your client relationship and carries professional indemnity insurance.

The number we agree before we start is the number on the invoice at the end.
What does a property lawyer actually do?
Short version: we make sure the house you think you’re buying is the house you actually get, and that the money and the title change hands properly on settlement day.
Read the agreement
We go through the sale and purchase agreement line by line and tell you what you’ve committed to: conditions, dates, deposit, and anything unusual that’s been added.
Check the title
We search the title to confirm the seller can actually sell it, and find anything registered against it that could affect you.
Read the LIM
The council record of the property. We read it and summarise what matters in plain English: unconsented work, flooding risk, anything outstanding.
Deal with your bank
We handle the loan documents and make sure the money is where it needs to be, when it needs to be there.
Handle KiwiSaver
If you’re making a KiwiSaver first-home withdrawal, we do that paperwork too.
Settle the purchase
On settlement day we move the money, register the transfer, and tell you when the keys are yours.
