Buying in Kaiapoi? Check the property first.

Hazard layers, title types and school zones differ from one Kaiapoi 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 Kaiapoi addresses

Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
Waimakariri District Council layers: flood layers, coastal inundation, erosion and instability, district plan zoning, 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 Waimakariri District Council remains the complete legal record.

Is Kaiapoi in a flood zone?
