If there are any unpaid rates. Any charges for water. Information about Building Permits and Consents for the property. Any information in regards to whether it is a protected or historic building, or site, and if there are any protected trees. Any Resource Consents issued for the property. Any relevant planning issues or planning zones that impact the property. Any Resource Consents issued in the immediate neighbourhood. Information on subdivisions and developments affecting the property and the immediate area. Drainage information relating to both private and public sewer and / or storm water on the property. Special land features including potential erosion, avulsion, falling debris, slippage and possible hazardous substances.
