Firstpass vs a council LIM

A LIM costs ~NZ$345+ and takes 5–10 working days. We give you a hazard-focused GIS read in minutes for NZ$49 — faster and cheaper, but not a substitute if you are buying.

	Firstpass	Council LIM
Price	NZ$49 — instant	~NZ$345+ — council LIM (varies by property)
Turnaround	Minutes	5–10 working days (local council)
Natural hazard overlays	Live GIS intersection against GWRC + council layers, explained in plain English	Yes — council must disclose known natural hazards on the property file
District plan zoning	Hazard overlays from your local council GIS	Yes — confirmed legal zone and plan rules
Building consents & code compliance	No	Yes — full consent history
Drainage & stormwater infrastructure	No	Yes — connections, easements, council assets
Rates, notices & requisitions	No	Yes
Unconsented work	No	May be flagged if on council file
Legal weight	Informational first pass — not a LIM	Official council document relied on in property transactions

If you proceed to buy, you still need a LIM. Firstpass helps you decide whether a property is worth that investment.
