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.

Generate a comprehensive property report instantly. Share hazard data, consent history, and constraint maps with your client the same day they instruct you — while there's still time to act.

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, all overlays, precincts, and special controls. Identify resource consent triggers and non-complying 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 required for certain transactions. SiteLenz is a pre-LIM triage tool that helps you identify potential red flags in seconds and decide whether a full LIM is necessary. For many routine due diligence checks, our report covers the data points that matter most.
- How much of a LIM does SiteLenz cover?
- Our report covers approximately 80% of the data points in a standard Auckland Council LIM — including zoning, hazards, consents, valuations, and flood risk. The main things we don't include are council-certified annotations and special notes that require manual council review.
- 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 in approximately 30 seconds. You can have property intelligence in your client's hands within minutes of receiving instructions — compared to 10+ working days for a LIM.
- 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.
- Is there bulk pricing for law firms?
- We're developing firm-level plans with volume pricing and team management features. Contact us at hello@propertycheck.co.nz to discuss pricing for your practice.
