We found Lukas and Richard from the property law centre when looking for a lawyer as a young local couple who were purchasing a house and land package in Auckland. From start to finish Lukas took us on and communicated the whole process with us keeping us upto date and informed. Lukas was incredibly thorough, making sure everything was covered and took the time to explain changes to us. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication gave us complete confidence throughout the journey. We'd also like thank Richard who completed our prenup. Richard's expertise and support were greatly appreciated, and together they make an amazing team. We couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and would highly recommend Lukas, Richard and the property law centre to anyone looking for a lawyer! :)

Fantastic service from start to finish. Being first home buyers, the whole process was new to us but Lukas kept us informed during the whole process. He always had our best interest in mind especially when dealing with a difficult vendor. I would not hesitate to recommend this property law firm.

Amazing service. Richard and Michelle are superstars (as I'm sure the rest of the team are as well). Throughout our house sale and purchase, they were incredibly responsive, proactive, and just took so much stress out of a stressful process. Thanks guys!

Can't speak highly enough of Richard and Michelle. They are incredibly responsive, thorough, clear, friendly and timely in every interaction. We have used them for multiple property investigations and a couple of sale and purchases over the past 3 years and they've just made everything a breeze, and all for a very affordable rate. Thank you for helping us in and out of our first and second homes!

Professional, efficient, friendly. Definitely had my best interests at heart. Attention to detail and willing to explain legal terminology in easier to understand language. First time dealing with lawyers of any kind in NZ. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. :-)

I highly recommend Michelle Johnson (at The Property Law Centre, Greenlane) for property legal work. She ensured everything ran accurately and smoothly during my recent house sale process. Michelle was consistently professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and always made time to explain details. I will definitely use The Property Law Centre and Michelle Johnson’s services again.
