Am I able to view a property file i.e. property/building details/history?

The Council holds property information for permitted or consented work that has been applied for and/or approved.

The following information could be captured on a property file.

  • Any permits or consented work dating back 30 – 40 years approximately.
  • Drainage information relating to any consented work.
  • Resource Consent information
  • Correspondence relating to that property.
  • People involved with permits or consent work may be recorded, ie architect, designer, builder, plumber, drainlayer etc.
  • Site plan and/or floor plan depending on age of property

    You may want to view this information if you are interested in purchasing a property or just want to know the history of the building on a property.

    NOTE: Sometimes plans are not held on file for the 1960s, 1970s & 1980s. Usually if a house was built in the 1990's we have the information.

    In the 1980s a lot of plans were scanned onto microfilm. These can be copied onto a hardcopy.

    Always check with the Service Centre that they have any records in the property file.

    There may be some costs payable and a delay of 1-5 days for copies of any information held on the property files, if copying is required by an external provider.

    The plans will be stamped with a copyright stamp.

    Property files are held in Civic, Linwood, Sockburn, Lyttelton and Akaroa offices.

    N.B. Files for Civic or Fendalton area are held off-site. Please contact Customer Services Info Line. It takes up to 48 hours to retrieve the file.
