Buying in Petone? Check the property first.

What we check for Petone addresses

• Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
• Lower Hutt City Council (Hutt City Council) layers: flood layers, overland flow paths, coastal inundation, erosion and instability, tsunami evacuation zones, district plan zoning, designations, heritage overlays, wastewater mains, 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 Lower Hutt City Council (Hutt City Council) remains the complete legal record.
