Independent Property Acquisition in New Zealand, Australia and Internationally
Privé Search represents private buyers and family offices in sourcing extraordinary residential and lifestyle properties of the highest calibre. We act solely for the buyer, with no sales mandate and no conflicted incentives.
Our role is simple: to secure the right property, on the right terms, without unnecessary exposure.
Privé Search extends beyond buyer advocacy, operating with an acquisition mandate informed by nearly four decades of international consulting and development experience, together with discreet sourcing and independent due diligence.
What Privé Search Delivers
- Access to on-market, off-market and private sale opportunities through long-standing industry networks
- Independent assessment of value, risk, condition and potential
- Discreet negotiation and transaction management on the client’s behalf
- Coordination with legal, tax, immigration and fiduciary advisers
Each search is undertaken on an exclusive mandate and managed directly by senior principals.
Engagement
Search engagements are highly selective and limited in number. Clients are represented from initial brief through to unconditional contract, with continuity of oversight throughout.
For overseas buyers, we navigate OIO (Overseas Investment Office) requirements and coordinate cross-border legal and tax considerations as a matter of course.
Experience, Quietly Evidenced
- More than twenty-five years acquiring premium residential and lifestyle assets in New Zealand (37 years internationally).
- Transactions spanning waterfront estates, rural holdings, vineyards, urban residences and development sites.
- Long-standing relationships with private sellers, developers and senior agency principals across Auckland, Queenstown, Hawke’s Bay, the Bay of Islands and beyond
Credentials are not publicised. Outcomes are.
For Clients Considering New Zealand
For those exploring relocation, investment or establishing a long-term presence, Privé Search can be combined with Privé Local: our curated familiarisation programme designed to inform location, entertainment, and lifestyle decisions before acquisition begins.
