AI summary

Trade Me Property data helps buyers make informed decisions. Information is sourced from the agent, local councils (marked as 'Council record'), and InternetNZ for broadband details. Agent-provided data is prioritised over council data where available.

To update incorrect council information, you can ask the agent to edit the listing, contact your local council, or ask Trade Me to re-link the data. Note that some details, like Capital Value (CV), can only be updated by the council.
