Buying in Te Aroha? Check the property first.

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

Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
Matamata-Piako District Council layers: flood layers, erosion and instability, liquefaction vulnerability, district plan zoning, designations, heritage overlays.
