Sound familiar?
Property lawyers face the same friction on every transaction. SiteLenz removes it.
LIMs cost $400+ and take 10 working days
SiteLenz gives you an early, structured view of zoning, hazards, consents, valuations, and flood risk for $39. Use it as a first-pass triage before deciding whether a full LIM or specialist review is required.
You need a quick risk assessment before the billable clock starts
Run a SiteLenz report before your first client call. Identify flood zones, contamination risk, and council overlays in seconds — so you know which properties need deeper investigation and which are straightforward.
Clients want answers during the due diligence period, not after it
Generate a comprehensive property report early in the matter. Share hazard data, consent history, and constraint maps with your client while there is still time to decide what needs formal follow-up.
Manual checking across multiple council systems
We aggregate Auckland Council property search, GeoMaps GIS layers, building consents, rates data, and valuation records into one structured report. No more switching between five different portals.

What's in the report
Four sections most relevant to property due diligence and conveyancing.
Hazard & Environmental Risk
Flood plains, overland flow paths, coastal erosion, land instability, and contamination data mapped onto the property boundary with proximity measurements. The same GIS data council staff use.
Building Consents & History
Council consent records including building permits, code compliance certificates, and resource consents. Spot unconsented work or outstanding compliance issues immediately.
Valuations & Legal Description
Live capital value, land value, rates breakdown, legal description, lot and DP references from council records. Verify the basics without requesting a title search.
Zoning & Planning Controls
Auckland Unitary Plan zone classification, overlays, precincts, and special controls. Identify resource consent triggers and activity risks at a glance.

Frequently asked questions
- Is a SiteLenz report a replacement for a LIM?
- No. A LIM is a council-certified legal document. SiteLenz is an informational early-stage due diligence report that helps you identify potential red flags and decide whether a full LIM, title review, or specialist advice is needed.
- What does SiteLenz cover?
- The report pulls together zoning, hazards, flood context, valuation data, legal description fields, and consent history into one early-stage view. It does not replace council certification, legal analysis, title review, or formal LIM processes.
- Can I rely on the data for legal advice?
- SiteLenz provides informational reports based on live Auckland Council data. While the data is sourced from the same systems council staff use, our reports are not council-certified documents. They're designed to inform your professional judgment and identify areas requiring further investigation.
- How quickly can I get a report?
- Reports are generated online after purchase and are intended to be available much sooner than a LIM. Delivery timing can still vary with council data availability and downstream processing.
- What if I still need a LIM?
- SiteLenz and LIMs serve complementary purposes. Use SiteLenz as your first-pass assessment to identify issues and inform your client quickly. If the property has complexities that require council certification, order the LIM knowing exactly which issues to focus on.
