Check the title layer. Review ownership, legal description and registered interests before relying on site assumptions.
Read the registered interests. Order instruments where easements, covenants or encumbrances may affect planning interpretation.

Use these records to support decisions before the file depends on assumptions. For legal, planning, lending, surveying, building or engineering conclusions, use the appropriate professional adviser.
CertNZ document ordering workflow for Planners & planning consultants, focused on title records, plans and registered documents that support due diligence.
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.
No. CertNZ helps order property records. Legal, planning, lending, surveying, building and engineering conclusions should come from the appropriate professional adviser.
