  1. Search for the address

    Type the address in the search bar and choose it from the list. Landsight searches the 2.4 million addresses in the LINZ register.

  2. Read the essentials

    The report opens on the address with four figures beside it: the land area, the buildings mapped, the title, and the council’s rating value with its date — shown as exactly that, never as a price. Ask a question about the property in the box under it.

  3. Read it in plain words

    Under the address, a short summary says what the property is, what its rating value means, what the zone allows, how the ground lies, whether flooding is mapped, and whether a granny flat or more homes could fit. Tap any underlined word to have it explained, or open the glossary.

  4. Property overview

    How the property looks from the street and from the air, with its boundary drawn, and what the property sites say of it — bedrooms, bathrooms, floor area, and whether it is listed for sale — each with the page it was read on. That part is the web’s, and is marked as the web’s, not the official record.

  5. The record

    The address, the land and the title, each from its official source. The rest of the record — the buildings, the council’s valuation and the ground — is further down the page.

  6. Site map

    The site among its neighbours, on a street map, from the air or on a plain sheet, with each side of the parcel marked with its length. Switch on contours, services, zones and flood layers, measure on it and sketch on it.

  9. Potential

    What could be added — a granny flat, or a subdivision keeping the house — tested against the zone’s rules on the surveyed boundary: what fits, what fits with matters to resolve, and what does not fit. It is preliminary, and says so.

  10. Development scenarios

    Schemes for the whole site, each with its homes, how it fits the site, margin and profit, costed at market rates with every assumption stated. Open in the Development Studio to change the scheme, the prices and the specification.
