How to access your Auckland Council property file

An Auckland Council property file is the complete collection of documents held for a property, including building consents, plans, and drainage information. It's crucial for buyers during due diligence to check for unconsented work.

Unlike a summarised LIM report, the property file contains the raw source documents. You can order it directly from the Auckland Council website, choosing between standard (10 days) or urgent (3 days) delivery for a fee. Always check for completed consents and other red flags.
