Property Power Talks

You may know who you want to inherit your assets. But have you considered who will carry out your wishes, whether they are prepared for that responsibility, and how your wealth will be managed along the way?

Join Kayleigh Swift, Director of NB Property Law, and Craig Parker, Principal Financial Advisor at Wealth Gap, for a practical conversation about wills, estate and succession planning, and the financial decisions that shape what you leave behind.

Buying a home is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. From understanding the contract and securing finance to meeting important deadlines and preparing for settlement, there is a lot to manage before the keys are yours. 

Commercial property decisions can significantly affect a business’s or individual’s finances, operations and future growth.

Whether you are purchasing business premises, entering a commercial lease or considering an investment property, understanding the financial and legal implications is essential before committing.

That’s where costly mistakes begin. 

In today’s lending environment, relying on your existing bank, assuming loyalty works in your favour, or applying without understanding your credit position can put you at a disadvantage before you even make an offer. 

But even with finance in place, many property deals still fall apart often due to overlooked legal risks, timing issues, and contract traps buyers didn’t see coming. 

Join Matthew Butcher, Business & Finance Broker at My Broker Solutions, and Kayleigh Swift, Director at NB Property Law, as they walk you through the common pitfalls buyers face—and how to avoid them.
