Your Legal is a property law firm in Avonhead, Christchurch, based at Shop E on Farrington Avenue. It only does residential property law, for people buying, selling and refinancing their homes in New Zealand. The firm works mostly with first-time buyers and sellers. It is run by Anthony, who is an accredited property law specialist with the New Zealand Law Society's Property Law Section and has more than 25 years in practice. Anthony's father and grandfather were also Canterbury lawyers, and his team is small.
The firm's main feature is its Property Tracker. Clients fill in a FactFind with the details of the transaction, then get a login they can share with their real estate agent. They receive SMS and email alerts each time a step is complete, including when each condition is met. The firm says it works closely with real estate agents, bankers, mortgage advisers and building inspectors, and it explains the legal process in plain language. For someone buying or selling a home in Christchurch who wants to follow the legal steps in one place, Your Legal is a practical choice.
