What should local property due diligence cover?

The right checks depend on the property and your plans. Common starting points include the record of title, a Land Information Memorandum, council property records, building condition, insurance, access, water and wastewater, stormwater, natural hazards, planning rules and any body corporate or shared-property arrangements.

Use the Far North District Council LIM service, Northland Regional Council Natural Hazards Portal and Toitū Te Whenua land-record information as authoritative starting points. Current property documents and advice from your lawyer, building inspector, insurer, lender and other relevant specialists remain essential.

Can a local guide replace professional advice?

No. These guides are educational and cannot determine whether a specific property is suitable for you or confirm legal, technical, insurance, financial or planning matters. Every property and proposal must be assessed on its own facts.
