How do I check a property in Whitianga before buying?

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

Title type from the record: freehold, cross-lease, unit title or leasehold, plus land details, nationwide.
Thames-Coromandel District Council layers: flood layers, coastal inundation, erosion and instability, 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 Thames-Coromandel District Council remains the complete legal record.
