Section- does anyone know?

LIM (land information memorandum) report do you mean?

Yeah kind of! I'm on their website and they have a list of a whole lot of different reports you can order.

Title (current with diagram)
Title (historical record)
Title Plan
Survey Plan
Guaranteed Search etc...

Theres about 20 of them and I don't know which one to order!

I was hoping I would be able to get the info online Otherwise I have to send Mum into the council which will be a nightmare

Brilliant! Thanks weegee

Yea a LIM wouldnt give you easements, you will find those on a property cert of title at land info NZ. LIM also wouldnt give you acurate boundaries.

Do you already have the certificate of title?
There should be details of interests registered against it shown on the bottom of the form.

What are the interests registered against the title?
Usually they're easy to work out what they are.

What you need is to get a copy of the instruments. For example, a copy of Transfer B320946.3, transfer B442412.1 and transfer B442412.2 - they will set out the inidvidual details of the agreements and covenants, and what requirements need to be abided by. Also check out where the water and drainage is that is referred to - what part of the section does it cover, as there will be restrictions as to building over this part of the section. I'm pretty curious about the mortgage though, I haven't seen that one before! The fencing agreements etc may sound simple, but you don't know the details just from the CT.

To find out about section 309(1)(a), go to Legislation Online, look up Local Government Act, and have a read of that section. All it's saying is that the retsrictions/conditions etc in that transfer are subject to the conditions in that particular part of the Act.

Pretty much what minik8e said - but you will probably also need to get a copy of the plan DP77154 (if you don't have it already with your copy of the title) to see where the water and sewage drainage runs though.

Can I ask - Is the section being sold through an Agent? If so, they might already have copies of all that stuff for interested purchasers to look at. Some, but not all, Agents will get that info for you if you ask and if you are genuinely interested in making an offer. Otherwise, if it's a private sale, and you want to look into the title and the easements before you make an offer, then if you have a solicitor in NZ that you normally deal with it might be best to ask them to look into it for you and they can explain what they all mean and advise you accordingly. But, if you want to avoid the cost of involving a solicitor at this stage but don't want to risk loosing the section if you're really that keen, you could make the offer and get an Agreement signed up now, as they standard terms of the Agreement provide for the purchaser to investigate the title, easements etc and to make any requisitions within 10 working days from the date of the signed Agreement. Just make sure that the standard clause does not get deleted because then you will loose that right to requisition. You may also want to make the Agreement conditional upon you getting a LIM. You don't have to get the LIM if you decide you don't want to, but it's always a good idea to make it conditional on a LIM just in case you do need it. But, again, if you do have a NZ solicitor you normally deal with, in either case you may just want to run things past them first before you jump into a deal. If you don't have a NZ solicitor, maybe there is a family solicitor that your parents or other family members use or have used and may be able to help you out. If you do go ahead with the purchase, you will need a solicitor anyway and there will be costs to you for the title investigations either way you decide to go.
