When buying, building, or investing in property, having accurate information upfront helps reduce risk and avoid costly surprises. That’s where our Land Information Memorandum (LIM) team can help you.
A LIM is an official Council report that brings together key property information in one place. It can include building and resource consent history, natural hazards, drainage, planning or zoning details, and other relevant Council-held records.
LIMs are commonly requested during property sales, but they can be useful anytime you need a clear picture of a property.
Behind the scenes, the LIM team helps ensure property information is accurate, up to date, and available when people need it. This includes:
· Preparing LIM reports by bringing together information from across the Council to provide a comprehensive view of a property
· Recording building and resource consents against properties
· Maintaining property records, including creating and updating them when land is subdivided
· Assigning and ensuring every property has an official address
· Assisting customers to obtain Records of Title through Land Information New Zealand.
You may interact with the LIM team when buying or selling property, carrying out due diligence, or seeking a consolidated report on a property’s history, services, or known issues.
This work matters because reliable property information supports better decisions, greater confidence, and fewer unexpected issues.
By keeping property records accurate and accessible, the LIM team helps individuals make informed choices and contributes to safer, better-planned communities.
