Welcome to the New Zealand Society of Conveyancers

On the 1 August 2008 legislation for the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006 was passed and came into force on 1 August 2008.

The Act provided the framework for a new Conveyancing Profession in New Zealand.

The consumer now has a choice for their legal support when buying or selling property by utilizing the expertise and services of a Conveyancing
Practitioner.

Conveyancers specialise in property law and have specific training and skills in all areas relating to the Sale and Purchase of real estate and related transactions.

In New Zealand, we have Conveyancers who are either Licensed Conveyancing Practitioners either in a sole practice or in a partnership or
registered Conveyancers who work under the umbrella of another legal entity both certified by the Society.

The purpose of the NZ Society of Conveyancers is:

1. Regulate NZSOC Certified Conveyancing Practitioners in the industry

2. Representatives of the Conveyancing Profession and its members

3. Promote and improve the Conveyancing Profession

4. To promote the Diploma of Conveyancing

5. To encourage principled conduct and the use of best practices throughout the legal Conveyancing profession.
