Sound familiar?
Property lawyers face the same friction on every transaction. SiteLenz removes it.
A LIM may take time and involve a separate cost
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 to review available flood, contamination, and overlay information, and identify matters that may need deeper investigation.
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.
SiteLenz vs. LIM
SiteLenz helps you surface zoning, hazard, valuation, and consent issues early. Use it alongside formal LIM and legal processes where council certification or legal advice is needed.

What's in the report
Four sections most relevant to property due diligence and conveyancing.
Hazard & Environmental Risk
Available flood-plain, overland-flow-path, coastal, land-instability, and contamination information shown with property context where source data allows. Verify material findings through official records and specialists.
Building Consents & History
Available Council consent records, including building permits, code-compliance certificates, and resource consents. Use them to identify records or gaps that may warrant further checks; this is not a compliance search.
Valuations & Legal Description
Available capital value, land value, rates, legal-description fields, and lot/DP references from Council sources. This information does not replace a title search or legal verification.
Zoning & Planning Controls
Available Auckland Unitary Plan zone classification, overlays, precincts, and special controls. Use them to identify planning matters for further assessment, not to determine consent requirements.

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.
- When is a report available?
- Reports are generated online after purchase. Availability can vary with address matching, source-data responses, and downstream processing, so SiteLenz does not promise a fixed delivery time.
- 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.
