How do I check a property in Alexandra before buying?

Type the address into the CheckMyBuilder property check to see the title type, land details, Central Otago District Council hazard layers and school zones for that property. Then confirm anything material with a LIM from Central Otago District Council and your lawyer before you go unconditional.

Buying in Alexandra? Check the property first.

Hazard layers, title types and school zones differ from one Alexandra street to the next, so the useful answer is always address-level. Type the address and see what the records show, before you order a LIM.

What we check for Alexandra addresses

Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
Central Otago District Council layers: flood layers, coastal inundation, tsunami evacuation zones, district plan zoning.
School zones, active faults, sun and aspect, and the area profile from national datasets.

Anything we cannot check for an address is labelled as not checked, never guessed. A LIM from Central Otago District Council remains the complete legal record.

Is Alexandra in a flood zone?

Flood risk in Alexandra varies property by property, so no suburb-wide answer is honest. Central Otago District Council publishes mapped flood layers, and the property check reads them for the exact address, alongside the title type and school zones.
