How do I check a property in Ohakune before buying?

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

Buying in Ohakune? Check the property first.

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

Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
Ruapehu District layers: flood layers, liquefaction vulnerability, 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 Ruapehu District remains the complete legal record.

Is Ohakune in a flood zone?

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