Whether you're stepping onto the property ladder or adding to your investment portfolio, buying a new build home is an exciting opportunity - but it comes with its own set of challenges.
At Porter Dodson, we specialise in helping buyers navigate the unique legal process of purchasing a new build property. We’ll make sure everything runs smoothly, on time, and with minimal stress.
Buying from a developer isn’t like buying a traditional home. You’ll often be working to tight deadlines - most developers require you to exchange contracts within 28 days of reserving the property.
New build contracts can also be more complex, with specific clauses around:
We’re highly experienced in this area and will explain everything in plain English, so you feel confident and in control.
Peace of mind from start to finish
We know how important it is to feel supported throughout your purchase. That’s why we combine legal expertise with a warm, personal approach - keeping you informed, reassured, and ready to move into your new home.

Reena Ravel was recommended to me and I was delighted to follow up the recommendation. Reena, and her paralegal Beckie, kept me informed throughout. Documentation and the necessary checks were made in advance so that once an offer was accepted all was prepared. I asked for a prompt exchange/completion on selling a property and this was duly achieved with minimal involvement on my part.

I had a fantastic experience working with Jenny & Emma in Wellington during the purchase of my first property. From start to finish, they were incredibly supportive, professional, and always on hand to guide me through the process. As a first-time buyer, I expected things to feel quite overwhelming at times, but their clear communication and reassurance made the whole process feel seamless. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in the future. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone going through a property purchase.
