Whare Tane

List No. 4503Built 1925–1927Listed 2011

Whare Tane is an avant garde 1920s residence, commissioned and occupied by prominent illustrator and cartoonist Trevor Lloyd (1863-1937). Lloyd is notable for popularising the kiwi as New Zealand’s national icon, after first using it as a symbol for the nation during the All Blacks tour of Great Britain in 1905-6. Lloyd is also considered to have been a pioneer of etching in New Zealand and one of the country's leading political cartoonists for 32 years.

Our estimate$2,290,000

We start from the council's rating valuation, move it by how sales in the area have moved since against their own council values, then by how properties like this one, nearby sales have done against the same arithmetic. Each step is an average of real sales. Tested every month against sales we had not seen: half land within about 6% of our estimate, and about 8 in 10 within the range. This is an automated estimate, not a registered valuation.

Contaminated land

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.

Auckland Council does not publish its contaminated sites records. A site contamination enquiry (a fee applies) or the LIM will say what it holds.

Ask Auckland Council

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
