Notice of sale
Auckland City Council operates an online service for registered solicitors to
advise us of any notice of sale and sales details for properties within the
Auckland City boundaries.
Benefits
Benefits of using this service:
- Confirmation receipt of notice of sale details
- Create a notice of sale at any time.
How it works
The initial notice of sale request can be made by either the vendor
solicitor or the purchaser solicitor, but in either case, the solicitor must be
a registered customer.
The solicitor acting on behalf of either party can initiate the notice of
sale request by searching for the correct property and enter the relevant
details. An email is generated and sent to the solicitor for the other party,
who completes or confirms the information. Either party can then submit the
notice of sale request, which will automatically notify Auckland City
Council to update the property details.
At each stage of the notice of sale process, the solicitors can log
in and check the status of the notice of sale:
- Entered (notice of sale initially logged)
- Awaiting update (awaiting update from either solicitor)
- Lodged (submitted for council to update)
At any stage before council has processed the notice of sale request,
changes can be applied. Should any changes be made, an email will be sent to
both solicitors advising them a change has been made so they can view the
changes.
It is also possible for one solicitor to submit a notice of sale for
both parties, this is most likely to the case over change to due to family or
related parties transactions e.g. a will or trust creation.
When a notice of sale has been successfully received, the system will send
a confirmation email to the solicitors involved.
The information that you require to complete a notice of sale can
include the following:
- Address of the property*
- Title*
- Legal description*
- Details of the current owner*
- Details of the new owner including mailing address
- Sale Price and GST where applicable
- Agreement date
- Settlement date
- Details of solicitors for both parties
- The notice of sale type
- Details of any long term leases
- A copy of the lease where it affects the ratepayer. This can either be
attached as an electronic file or posted
* This information will be automatically populated on the transfer of
ownership form once you select a property. A comments box is available for you
to note any variations between this information and the information you have.
