AI summary
An Auckland Council property file is a vital resource for buyers, sellers, and renovators, containing all Council-held records like building consents, drainage plans, and Code Compliance Certificates (CCCs).
Unlike a summarised LIM report, it provides the raw source documents. This allows you to check for unconsented work by comparing plans to the current property.
Files can be ordered from the Auckland Council website for a fee, with standard (10 days) and urgent (3 days) digital delivery options available.
