Buying in Westport? Check the property first.

What we check for Westport addresses

• Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
• Buller District Council layers: coastal inundation, erosion and instability, tsunami evacuation zones, district plan zoning, designations, 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 Buller District Council remains the complete legal record.

Is Westport in a flood zone?

Buller 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.
