AI summary
Trade Me Property data helps buyers make informed decisions. Information is sourced from listing agents and local councils (marked as 'Council record'), with agent-provided details always being prioritised.
If you find an error, ask the listing agent to update the listing, which overrides the council record for most fields. For a permanent fix or for data agents can't change (like CV), you must contact your local council directly to have their records amended.
