How we worked this out
| Council valuation, Jun 2025 | $530,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Dunedin City since the council valuation | +3.3% |
| How Fairfield sells against council values | +2.0% |
| Homes of this age in Fairfield | +0.6% |
| Homes in this price range | +0.3% |
| Land as a share of the value | +0.1% |
| Nearby recent sales (15) | +1.0% |
| Our estimate | $570,000 |
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.

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
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.
We do not hold flood maps for Dunedin City yet.
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.
Otago Regional Council will say more about a listed site on request; quote its HAIL number.
Ask Otago Regional CouncilWhat 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.
