In this bonus episode of the Property Apprentice Podcast, host Debbie Roberts breaks down a major change in New Zealand’s property regulations that could significantly ease the burden for families using trusts.
The New Zealand government has announced key updates to anti-money laundering (AML) rules, aiming to reduce excessive compliance requirements for “low-risk” property transactions involving family trusts. This move is set to simplify the often complex and intrusive checks that everyday Kiwis have faced when selling a home held in a trust.
🔍 In this episode, Debbie explores:
- Why property owners in trusts have felt unfairly targeted by AML checks
- The new simplified due diligence requirements for low-risk transactions
- Reactions from experts, including REINZ, property lawyers, and industry advocates
- The remaining gray areas, and why clear implementation guidelines are crucial
- Concerns raised about criminal misuse of real estate and the need for balance
While the reforms have been welcomed as a step in the right direction, the success of this policy will rely heavily on how clearly and effectively it is implemented.
This episode is a must-listen for homeowners, real estate professionals, and anyone with an interest in property investment or trust structures in New Zealand.
