If you’ve been to an open home<br />
recently, or been browsing the ‘for sale’<br />
adverts, you might have noticed that<br />
some sellers put together information<br />
packs for potential buyers. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
sellers will know that researching a<br />
property takes time and money, and<br />
they don’t want this to be a barrier<br />
to a successful sale. <strong>The</strong>y believe that<br />
providing information like a LIM (a Land<br />
Information Memorandum from the<br />
local council) and a building inspection<br />
report can help busy people get an offer<br />
on the table. This is great in theory, but<br />
you need to tread carefully all the same.<br />
If, for example, a real estate agent or<br />
seller gives you a LIM for the property,<br />
check carefully when it was prepared.<br />
A LIM is a summary of all the current<br />
property information held by the different<br />
departments at a council at the time.<br />
It contains details of council consents<br />
for any work done, how much the rates<br />
are and information on any geographic<br />
hazards that might have an impact on<br />
the property, such as subsidence. Bear<br />
in mind that this information can be<br />
reasonably general. If the LIM is dated a<br />
couple of weeks ago, it’s safe to assume<br />
it’s reasonably up to date. If it’s dated a<br />
year ago, it’s a good idea to make further<br />
enquiries. Getting a LIM costs money<br />
in most areas (prices vary from council<br />
to council). You can also ask to see the<br />
property file held by the council, which<br />
holds other information about a property,<br />
like a site map and original house plans.<br />
Building reports are a bit trickier.<br />
throughout Using a building Christchurch<br />
report provided by the<br />
seller (or the real estate agent working<br />
for them) may seem like an easy option<br />

Funeral Directors<br />
the property and then find problems<br />
with it that cost a significant amount to<br />
fix, you’re not protected by the building<br />
report because the inspector’s contract is<br />
with the seller, not you. <strong>The</strong> Real Estate<br />
Authority (REA) recommends using<br />
an accredited property inspector who<br />
complies with the New Zealand building<br />
inspection standard 4306:2005. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />
written report will identify any current<br />
defects as well as highlight any urgent and<br />
long-term maintenance required. Look<br />
for someone who has a good level of<br />
indemnity insurance, as this will protect<br />
you if you buy the property and then find<br />
you need to fix something that wasn’t in<br />
the report. Building inspections do come<br />
at a cost, but we think it’s worth it to be<br />
sure that you’re fully aware of what you’re<br />
signing up for.<br />
If you end up with a report with a lot of<br />
information about the property it doesn’t<br />
mean you should walk away. Instead, see<br />
it as giving you the opportunity to know<br />
what you’re buying. Doing this before you<br />
make an offer means you are fully aware of<br />
Home & Property appears every Thursday, delivered FREE<br />
what the property may need to have done<br />
to it and your offer figure can reflect that.<br />
