A LIM report (Land Information Memorandum) is a summary of property information held by the local council. It's a crucial part of due diligence for buyers.

The report includes details on:

- Consents, permits, and zoning

- Special land features like flooding or erosion risks

- Stormwater and sewage drains

Obtaining a LIM report helps identify unconsented work or potential hazards. This allows you to negotiate with the seller or withdraw your offer if it's conditional on a satisfactory report.
