Buying in Northcote? Check the property first.

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

  • Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
  • Auckland Council layers: flood layers, coastal inundation, erosion and instability, tsunami evacuation zones, liquefaction vulnerability, district plan zoning, designations, heritage overlays, other planning overlays.
  • 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 Auckland Council remains the complete legal record.

Is Northcote in a flood zone?

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