Usage Scenario
Use when a buyer is considering a cross-lease property and needs a clear, non-legal explanation of what to ask about before making or confirming an offer.
Full Prompt
Act as a helpful New Zealand real estate agent explaining a cross-lease property to a buyer in plain English. Use only the verified information below: [property address/suburb], [number of flats or dwellings on the cross-lease title], [flat plan notes], [exclusive use areas if known], [shared areas if known], [known alterations or additions], [documents available], and [buyer questions]. Write a buyer-friendly explanation covering: 1) what cross-lease ownership generally means, 2) why the flat plan and lease documents matter, 3) common things buyers should check, such as additions, exclusive use areas, shared driveways, and consented changes, 4) questions to ask their solicitor and other advisers, and 5) a short next-step checklist. Keep the tone calm, practical, and neutral. Do not provide legal advice, do not say the title is problem-free, and do not invent document findings.
Example Input
Auckland 1970s two-bedroom unit, one of three dwellings on a cross-lease title, shared driveway, fenced courtyard shown as exclusive use by agent notes, deck added by previous owner, flat plan available but not yet reviewed by buyer's solicitor.
Example Output
A plain-English buyer note explaining cross-lease basics, why the flat plan should match the current layout, what to ask about the deck and shared driveway, and why solicitor review is important before relying on the information.
Compliance Notes
- Do not provide legal advice or interpret lease documents as a solicitor.
- Do not state that alterations are approved unless this has been verified.
- Encourage buyers to review the title, flat plan, lease documents, LIM, and any relevant council records with qualified advisers.
- Keep explanations general and separate verified facts from questions still needing review.
Manual Review Checklist
- Confirm the title type and number of dwellings on the cross-lease title.
- Check whether the flat plan appears to match the current building footprint and external structures.
- Identify any shared driveways, common areas, or exclusive use areas that need solicitor review.
- Remove any wording that implies legal certainty or guarantees about alterations, consent, or neighbour obligations.
