Sell your home with legal confidence built in.
Goodwill Property offers lawyer-supervised real estate for New Plymouth homeowners — with one clear sale fee from listing to settlement.
Standard conveyancing through Goodwill Law is included.
Not traditional real estate. Better real estate.
Goodwill Property is a lawyer-supervised property sale service created by the team behind Goodwill Law. We combine professional marketing, negotiation and lawyer-supervised conveyancing into one connected service.
Instead of charging traditional real estate commission plus a separate legal bill, we charge one clear sale fee from listing through to settlement.
That includes:
Professional marketing
Property listing and buyer management
Sale and purchase documentation
Negotiation support
Standard conveyancing through Goodwill Law
Everything you need to sell your home, delivered through one connected team.
How much is your home worth?
Real estate, rethought by lawyers
With a traditional real estate sale, you usually deal with an agent first and then separately engage a lawyer. That can mean completing separate onboarding processes, providing the same information more than once, and managing communication between different advisers.
Goodwill Property brings the property sale and legal work together from the outset, creating a simpler, clearer and more coordinated experience from listing through to settlement.
We are not a traditional commission-based real estate agency. We provide a lawyer-supervised property sale service for a clear sale fee, which includes standard conveyancing through Goodwill Law.

No commission. No separate conveyancing fee.
Goodwill Property is designed as a lower-cost alternative to traditional commission-based real estate.
You pay a transparent professional sale fee for the sale process, with standard conveyancing included through Goodwill Law.
Separate third-party costs, such as marketing expenses and conveyancing disbursements, are charged in addition and explained upfront.
No traditional commission.
No separate standard conveyancing fee.
Clear costs from listing to settlement.
One connected sale process.
Selling a home usually means dealing with separate people, separate systems, and separate onboarding.
With Goodwill Property, the sale process and legal process are connected from the beginning. That means fewer handovers, less repeated information, and clearer communication between the people managing your transaction.
Where possible, onboarding and AML requirements are handled as part of one connected process through Goodwill Law, rather than starting again once the sale agreement is signed.
The result is a smoother path from listing to settlement.

Why Lawyer-Supervised Matters.
Because selling property is legal before it is final.
A signed agreement is not just a sale — it is a legal contract.
Conditions, deadlines, title matters, settlement dates, chattels, finance clauses and disclosure all affect whether a sale proceeds smoothly.
Goodwill Property is designed so the legal and real estate process work together from day one. Our property team is supervised by experienced property lawyers, giving vendors greater confidence that the important details are being handled carefully.
Important note: Goodwill Property staff do not replace independent legal advice where a conflict, dispute, or non-standard issue arises. Additional legal work may be required in complex situations.
Who We Are.
Not traditional real estate. Better real estate.
Goodwill Property is a modern, lawyer supervised real estate service for sellers who want quality service, transparent pricing, and a more secure path from listing to settlement.
We bring property marketing and legal oversight together to deliver a clearer, smarter and more trustworthy way to sell.
Real estate with legal confidence built in.
A member of the Goodwill Group.
Goodwill Property is part of the Goodwill Group, alongside Goodwill Law and the Goodwill Community Trust — a registered charity established to support initiatives that benefit the local community.
The Goodwill Group is built around quality service, transparency, modern professional support, and a commitment to giving back. Both Goodwill Law and Goodwill Property contribute funds to the Goodwill Community Trust, helping support community-focused projects and causes.
That means choosing Goodwill is not only about receiving a clearer, more supported property or legal service. It also helps contribute to positive outcomes in the community.
Goodwill Property brings those same values into real estate — helping New Plymouth homeowners sell with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Why Goodwill Property?
Real estate, supervised by lawyers.
Goodwill Property has been created by the team behind Goodwill Law to offer a modern alternative to the traditional real estate experience.
Our property sale service is designed around quality communication, legal accuracy, and practical support from start to finish.
That means fewer moving parts, better document control, and a sale process that feels more considered, more transparent, and more secure
Frequently Asked Questions.
Are you a real estate agency?
1
No. Goodwill Property is a lawyer-supervised real estate service operated through Goodwill Law, an incorporated law firm. As opposed to a licensed Real Estate Agency.
Under New Zealand law, lawyers and incorporated law firms can carry out real estate agency work under the lawyer exemption in the Real Estate Agents Act 2008. That means our property team can help vendors sell their home, with the process supervised by experienced property lawyers.
We are not trying to replicate the traditional agency model. Goodwill Property has been created to offer a more connected property sale service, where the real estate process and legal process work together from the beginning.
Do I still need a separate lawyer?
2
For a standard sale, no separate standard conveyancing fee is payable because that work is included in the sale fee. In some cases, additional or independent legal advice may be required, including where there is a conflict, dispute, relationship property issue, trust issue, or non-standard matter.
Do your property staff give legal advice?
3
Legal advice is provided by Goodwill Law’s lawyers. Property staff work under lawyer supervision as part of the overall process.
What does lawyer-supervised mean?
4
It means the sale process is connected with experienced property lawyers from the beginning, helping ensure contracts, conditions and settlement requirements are handled accurately.
Our professional sale fee includes the standard work required to market, negotiate, document and complete a straightforward property sale, including standard conveyancing through Goodwill Law.
Separate third-party costs are charged in addition. These may include marketing expenses such as photography, Trade Me listings, signboards, floor plans, video, drone or advertising upgrades, and standard conveyancing disbursements such as title searches, LINZ fees, AML verification and other third-party legal costs.
Non-standard legal work may also be charged separately, particularly where additional legal advice, negotiation or dispute resolution is required.
In most straightforward sales, the included standard conveyancing work should be all that is needed to complete the sale.
5
What is not included?
Traditional real estate usually separates the agent from the lawyer. We bring those parts together.
Goodwill Property is not a traditional commission-based agency. Because we operate through a lawyer-supervised model, we do not charge traditional real estate commission. Instead, vendors pay a transparent professional sale fee for the property sale process.
With Goodwill Property, vendors receive a modern property sale service with:
lawyer supervision throughout the sale process;
no traditional real estate commission;
one clear professional sale fee from listing to settlement;
standard conveyancing included through Goodwill Law;
clear communication and quality service; and
a more secure and better-supported path to settlement.
Our difference is simple: we combine real estate, legal oversight and conveyancing into one connected process, so selling your home feels clearer, easier and more secure.

What makes you different?
You will have a nominated Goodwill Property contact who manages the day-to-day sale process. Goodwill Property is a service of Goodwill Law Limited, and all property sale work is carried out by a lawyer or by a trained team member acting under the supervision of a lawyer. Your engagement documents will identify the person managing your sale and the lawyer with overall responsibility.

What if I already have a buyer?
Who will handle and supervise my property sale?
8
That is no problem. In fact, Goodwill Property was created partly in response to the growing number of private sales where a seller has already found a buyer but still needs help managing the process properly.
If you already have a buyer, we can assist with the next steps, including preparing the agreement, managing key terms and conditions, and completing the standard conveyancing work through Goodwill Law.
Because you may not need the full marketing process, we can discuss the most appropriate fee for the work required. The key benefit is that the sale can still be handled through one connected, lawyer-supervised process — helping ensure the agreement, deadlines, disclosure and settlement are managed properly from the beginning.
