Where can I find detailed advice about buying a section?

Our Guide to buying a section in Nelson outlines questions to consider before purchase. Review the documents for the specific property and get independent professional advice where needed.

Can I buy a section before the title is issued?

Some subdivision lots are marketed before a separate title is issued. The terms and conditions for the particular property matter. Ask your lawyer to review the agreement and explain the implications before you sign.

What services should I check before buying land?

Services vary by site and development. Review the information supplied for the particular section and confirm anything important to your intended build with the relevant provider or professional adviser.

What are land covenants?

Land covenants are registered obligations or restrictions that may affect how land is used or developed. Requirements vary, so have the actual documents reviewed with your lawyer.

What is a geotechnical report?

Geotechnical information concerns ground and soil conditions and may be relevant to foundations, earthworks and site suitability. Ask a suitably qualified professional to advise on what it means for your proposed build.
