Quick answer

What this page helps with

CertNZ document ordering workflow for Buyers & buyer advisers, focused on title records, plans and registered documents that support due diligence.

What records are useful for buyers & buyer advisers?

The most common starting point is a current Record of Title. Depending on the file, a survey plan, instrument document, owner search, guaranteed search or pre-purchase package may also be useful.

Is this professional advice?

No. CertNZ helps order property records. Legal, planning, lending, surveying, building and engineering conclusions should come from the appropriate professional adviser.

When should these records be ordered?

Order records before the decision depends on assumptions — for example before an offer, file review, planning check, site acquisition, quote, finance conversation or settlement step.
