Our estimate$1,340,000

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.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

A mapped flood area comes close to this property, but not onto it.

  • Unitary Plan Base Zone

    On this property
    Over the whole section

    District plan zones as Auckland publishes them. What a site may be used for, and what may be built on it.

  • Flood plain

    Nearby
    12 m from the boundary

    Land the council models as under water in a 1-in-100-year storm, usually with an allowance for climate change.

  • Flood prone area

    Nearby
    27 m from the boundary

    A low point where stormwater ponds if its outlet blocks or overflows.

  • Flood sensitive area

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Land beside a flood plain that could flood if the model is out, or the storm is bigger.

  • Coastal inundation

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Land the sea reaches in a 1-in-100-year storm tide once sea level has risen by 1 m.

  • Special character area

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Streets whose built character is protected: demolition and new building are assessed against the area's existing form, whatever the zone allows.

  • Historic heritage place

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A scheduled historic place. Work on it, including demolition, needs consent against the heritage schedule.

  • Height variation control

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    An explicit building height for this land, replacing the one its zone would give.

  • Volcanic viewshaft

    Not mapped here
    Nearest 91 m away

    A protected view of a volcanic cone. Inside it, building height is capped at a fixed level above sea level to keep the cone visible.

  • Locally significant viewshaft

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A locally protected view of a cone, with its own height ceiling.

  • Museum viewshaft

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    The protected view of the Auckland War Memorial Museum.

  • Ridgeline protection

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Skyline land where building height is controlled so the ridge stays a ridge.

  • Notable tree

    Not mapped here
    Nearest 210 m away

    A scheduled tree. It may not be felled or topped without consent, which makes it a permanent part of the skyline.

  • Notable group of trees

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    A scheduled stand of trees, protected as a group.

  • Precinct

    Not mapped here
    None within 250 m

    Local rules written for this area alone, which override the underlying zone where they differ.

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.
