Why it matters
A property is one of the biggest decisions most people ever make. Knowing the risks up front - before you buy, build or commit - can save you time, money and stress.
The information is public, but it is hard to find
Flood zones, erosion and land-stability areas, coastal and natural-hazard overlays, LINZ title and parcel details, and council planning constraints are all matters of public record. But that information lives across many separate sources, in different formats, and is usually written for specialists. Most people never see the full picture for their property.
Small surprises can be expensive
A property affected by a mapped hazard or a planning constraint can be harder to insure, harder to build on, or subject to extra council requirements. Finding out after you have committed is far more costly than finding out before. A CoreGIS report helps you ask the right questions early.
Plan ahead with confidence
Whether you already own a property, you are thinking of buying, or you are planning to build or develop, seeing the mapped risks and constraints in plain English lets you plan ahead with confidence - and gives you peace of mind about a big decision.
A starting point, not the final word
CoreGIS reports are built from publicly available data and are provided for general information only. Public data can be incomplete, out of date or subject to change, and a report does not replace professional advice. Use a CoreGIS report to understand a property and to know what to check with the relevant authorities and qualified professionals. Please read our Terms of Use for the full detail.
