Buying a house and need information about the property?

Council can, on request, supply all the details it holds on any piece of land within the district. The information is contained in a Land Information Memorandum (LIM) and can include rates, building/resource consent records, health licences, complaints, water supply information, land features and the like.

A LIM report costs $243 for residential properties or $486 for non-residential properties. Council should provide the finished LIM within 10 business days.

Our aim is to deliver the document well within this timeframe.

The report might not be able to identify potential erosion, slippage or the presnce of hazardous contaminants, but it will be able to point out conditions of the property and any certificates issued under the Building Act.

 

A complete list of matters contained in a LIM report is attached to the LIM application form.
