    The building consents report is a summary of all the building consents for a selected property, with details including the date of application, a brief description of the consent and the status of the consent.

    Looking at properties to buy…

    The building consents report is a tool that you can use to evaluate the various properties you're looking at and narrow your choices.

    If you're a homeowner, the building consents report is a simple and easy way of letting you know that the right approvals have been obtained for any building work on your property. This is especially important if you're looking at selling and wanting to make sure everything is in order before prospective purchasers start doing their own investigations.

    At $9.95, the building consents report is an easy and convenient way for you to get important information about a property.
