Private & Strategic Advisory Services

Considered counsel for significant decisions

UNIQ advises high-net-worth individuals, families and investors, many of them establishing in New Zealand from abroad, on property and the decisions that surround it. We act as an independent, single point of representation, held to the standard of discretion you would expect from your lawyer.

A trusted representative, on your side of the table

Significant property and investment decisions are rarely made in isolation. For an international family, a purchase can sit alongside a residency application, a change of tax jurisdiction, and the practical work of settling into a new country. UNIQ exists to hold that whole picture on your behalf, and to advance your interests within it.

We work with a small number of clients at a time: established New Zealand families, and international individuals, families and investors, often acting through corporate or family-office structures, who are acquiring, relocating, or establishing a long-term foothold here.

The work is private by nature. We listen to the immediate need, understand the broader context of intent, timing and direction, and shape an engagement around it. Our independence is the point: we are retained by you, aligned to you, and accountable to you alone.

One relationship across property, ownership and strategy

01
Acquisition & buyer representation
Independent representation from the search to settlement, market insight, off-market access, and discreet negotiation, focused solely on securing the right asset on the right terms.
02
Family office & cross-border coordination
A single, trusted point of connection for internationally mobile families, coordinating advisers and decisions across property, residency, tax and banking so the pieces move together rather than in isolation.
03
Vendor advocacy & divestment
Representing owners through sale and exit, strategy, positioning and process, so that the right outcome is reached with care, precision and confidentiality.
04
Residency & Active Investor Plus
For investors and families pursuing the Active Investor Plus pathway, we align the property and settlement strategy with the residency decision, and connect you to specialist immigration counsel.
05
Transaction & M&A advisory
Alongside property, UNIQ has advised high-net-worth clients on select corporate and M&A transactions in New Zealand and Australia, bringing the same independence, discretion and structured judgement to acquisitions, divestments and cross-border deals.
06
Introductions & access
Thoughtful introductions to trusted specialists, professional networks and opportunities that rarely reach the open market, extended only where they genuinely serve you.
07
Engagement on your terms
Every engagement is scoped to the decision in front of you, retained, defined and confidential, whether that is a single transaction or counsel held over time.

The right specialists, brought together for you

No single adviser should stand alone on a decision of this significance. UNIQ works alongside a trusted network of specialist immigration, legal, tax and banking advisers, coordinating their input so you receive current, professional advice at every step, with UNIQ holding the property and local execution.

In partnership with Henley & Partners, the global leader in residence and citizenship by investment, we align specialist residency advice with UNIQ's on-the-ground property representation, giving international clients a considered, end-to-end pathway into New Zealand.
