BUYING LAND IN NEW ZEALAND

Hesketh Henry’s lawyers are experts in The Overseas Investment Act 2005, a complex law which regulates (amongst other things) the acquisition of land in New Zealand by overseas persons and companies.

We’ve helped many overseas interests purchase land in New Zealand including Vladi Private Islands, one of most selective buyers of property in the world.

If you are considering purchasing certain types of land in New Zealand, you are required to demonstrate to the Government how your investment will benefit the country and how you will ensure that the characteristics of "sensitive land" will be preserved. Hesketh Henry can advise you on the best way to achieve this.

Vladi Private Islands

One of Hesketh Henry’s more prominent overseas clients is Vladi Private Islands GmbH, a company with offices in Hamburg, Germany and Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada; that specialises in the sale and rental of

private islands worldwide. Vladi’s long standing expertise has resulted in over 1800 islands sold, 10,000 island beds rented and they are accepted as an island expert by the Supreme Court of the United States of America and Canada.

Hesketh Henry has advised Vladi on the purchase of a number of private and commercial properties in New Zealand. Visit website »
