Buying in Island Bay? Check the property first.

What we check for Island Bay addresses

• Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
• Wellington City Council layers: flood layers, overland flow paths, coastal inundation, tsunami evacuation zones, liquefaction vulnerability, wastewater mains.
• 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 Wellington City Council remains the complete legal record.

Is Island Bay in a flood zone?
