Property Syndicate Investments

For investors who are looking for a higher return than can normally be obtained from fixed interest investments, Glaister Ennor is carefully selecting properties which can be owned by a group of Glaister Ennor clients and managed by Glaister Ennor.

The criteria for selection of property are:

• It must be well located and in an appropriate building for the area in which it is located
• It must have a strong tenant
• It must have a lease for not less than six years and ideally more than seven years
• Ordinary freehold titles are favoured over titles registered under the Unit Titles Act
• Buildings with one or two tenants are preferred
• Purchase price must be in line with the market value
• The lease must be structured so that on rent review, the rent cannot go down below the initial rental

These property investments will typically be sold when there is four or five years left to run under the lease so that investors do not need to be concerned about issues arising when the term of the lease is coming to an end. The major risks associated with this type of investment relate to the quality of the tenant and the overall state of the property market at the time of sale.

Each syndicate involves one specific property and each investor is provided with a separate certificate of ownership so that investors share in the property in the investors own name.

• In order to enhance the return, in most cases a first mortgage will be arranged over the property
• Income is paid out monthly

On the sale of the property, after payment of all costs and repayment of the first mortgage, investors receive their share of the balance of the cash available and accordingly all losses or gains in respect of the value of the property are shared amongst the investors.

Contact Glaister Ennor for details of current syndicated property investments which are available through Glaister Ennor. Please note that any investment must be made by application pursuant to the Investment Memorandum (including Offer Statement) for the particular property syndicate

Interest bearing term deposits

Glaister Ennor has negotiated a special arrangement with ASB Bank Limited to provide clients with a high level of interest and convenience.

Investments

Glaister Ennor does not provide financial advice such as can be obtained from a registered financial adviser. However we offer investment opportunities in the areas of contributory mortgages through a solicitors' nominee company, and syndicated property opportunities. Find out about these opportunities by clicking the links below.

Norfolk Mortgage Trust

Norfolk Mortgage Trust was launched in March 2007 providing investment opportunities to investors. It is a unit trust investment fund managed by Norfolk Financial Management Limited of which Glaister Ennor is one of the shareholders. The Directors of Norfolk Financial Management Limited are Jack Porus of Glaister Ennor and Stuart Smith.

Investors will receive an interim distribution based on an interest rate of 6% pa paid monthly and subject to the performance of the fund, will receive a bonus payment 6 monthly. The level of this payment will depend on the performance of the fund but the objective is that it will be sufficient to bring the overall return to over 8% pa.

Please note that any investment must be made by application pursuant to the Investment Statement and registered prospectus.

Terms of engagement

TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT FOR PROVISION OF LEGAL SERVICES
The following sets out the Terms and Conditions upon which you may retain us to act for you.

1. Instructions
We will only act on your clear and reasonable instructions. Your instructions form the primary basis of liability for the accounts we render. If you instruct us on behalf of someone else you are liable to pay our bill should we not be paid by that other person.

2. How We Charge
We charge for our services in accordance with guidelines established by the New Zealand Law Society. The fee is set after taking into account; the time taken in doing the work, the degree of specialist skill needed, the urgency, and the importance and value of the transaction.

In calculating the fee we add 6% to cover internal disbursements such as photocopying, faxes. local tolls and local couriers.

In addition to our fee you are responsible to pay GST and the costs we incur not covered in our fee. The total of our fee, other charges, and GST is referred to as our bill.

By instructing us to act you authorise us to incur such other charges as are reasonably necessary to put your instructions into effect.

Where possible we will provide you with an estimate of our fee and other charges. This is provided by way of guidance only and is not intended to be a binding commitment on our part. We will endeavour to keep you informed of changes of circumstances which substantially alter this estimate.

From time to time we may be requested by you to invest your funds on Term Deposit. We charge a commission fee on the collection of bank interest earned on these Term Deposits at 5% of the gross interest.

Please feel free to ask us what fees have been incurred to date on any particular matter.

3. How You Pay
We may either bill you at the completion of the work or we may interim bill you throughout the course of completing the work. We will interim bill you where transactions or Court proceedings are likely to take months rather than weeks to complete.

Where work involves Court proceedings or you are based overseas or in some cases in relation to other work we will ask you to pay in advance money to us on account of fees and/or other charges yet to be incurred.

Where such a request for money to be paid on account is made we will not carry out work (or instruct others to carry out work) for you until such payment is made.

In respect of conveyancing transactions payment is to be made prior to settlement taking place. In respect of all other transactions we require that you pay our account upon receipt. If you anticipate difficulty in the payment of any account, please contact us immediately on receipt of your invoice and discuss arrangements for payment.

If you do not pay upon receipt, or in the case of a conveyancing transaction prior to the settlement date, we may:

(a) Charge you interest on a calendar monthly basis on the amount of the debt which remains outstanding on the 20th of the month following issue until payment is made in full. Interest will be charged at the current ASB Bankcard rate.
(b) Charge you the cost of recovery or attempting to recover any outstanding debt owed to us.
(c) Stop doing further legal work for you if you have any outstanding debt to us which has been subject to an interest charge under (a) above for one calendar month or more.

4. Credit Policy
You may be allocated a credit limit which will be:
• confidential between the client and the firm (and persons such as barristers and expert witnesses instructed by us with your consent);
• The total amount that the firm will allow to be owed or due to it by you at any time;
• able to be increased or decreased or withdrawn by us at any time.

5. Guarantor
Where the name of a guarantor is completed on the front page of this agreement, then that person guarantees full payment of your fees and disbursements in terms of this agreement.

6. Lien
Where work has been done by Glaister Ennor but we have not been paid by you, then as a general rule, we have the right to retain original documents and correspondence on your files until such time as all outstanding fees, disbursements and other expenses have been paid. This is known as a lien. This will be particularly important in circumstances where the client decides for whatever reason to instruct another firm. That other firm may be obliged to give an undertaking to Glaister Ennor to pay all outstanding fees and disbursements before your files are released.

7. Information We Need to Know
We request that you promptly provide us with any information that we may reasonably require to carry out your instructions and meet our statutory obligations. You are responsible for the accuracy of any information provided to us.

8. Our Responsibility and Liability
We will keep you informed of the work we are carrying out for you and we will carry that work out to a proper and professional standard. We will ensure that your instructions are undertaken by those with appropriate levels of expertise at the most cost effective rate available within the firm. In larger transactions we may limit our liability to you for the performance of our obligations and if we elect to impose this limit we may ask you to sign a form of acknowledgement limiting our professional liability.

9. Duration of these Terms
These terms and conditions may be amended by us from time to time. If we change these terms we will notify you before undertaking new work. These terms will apply to all future legal work carried out by us for you.

The awards are held in conjunction with Oedipus Rex Art Gallery who offer an opportunity to the winning artist to exhibit at the gallery.
