Buying in Paraparaumu? Check the property first.
Hazard layers, title types and school zones differ from one Paraparaumu 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 Paraparaumu addresses
- Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
- Kapiti Coast District Council layers: flood layers, coastal inundation, erosion and instability, tsunami evacuation zones, liquefaction vulnerability, district plan zoning, designations, heritage overlays, 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 Kapiti Coast District Council remains the complete legal record.
Is Paraparaumu in a flood zone?
