How do I check a property in Richmond before buying?

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

Buying in Richmond? Check the property first.

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

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

Is Richmond in a flood zone?

Tasman District Council's mapped hazard layers for this district are limited, so address-level checking plus a LIM matters more here, not less. The property check reads what is available for the exact address and is clear about anything not checked.
