What is rental yield?
Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $685 × 52 weeks = $35,620, against the council valuation of $800,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.
How we worked this out
| Evidence | Points to | Counted |
|---|---|---|
| 2 rentals advertised nearby each adjusted to this property’s bedrooms and value | $702 | 11% |
| From its value what rentals in the area typically yield | $680 | 89% |
We read this property as a house. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

Marginal strip rules. Where land borders the sea, a lake or a river at least 3 m wide, a strip about 20 m wide along the water is kept for public access and conservation when the Crown or a state enterprise disposes of it. The note says these rules apply, not that a strip exists: the survey plan shows whether one was set aside, and it is usually outside the title, between the boundary and the water.
Owner names and the parties to each instrument are not published on this page. Order the record of title to see them.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
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 Selwyn District 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.
Environment Canterbury's Listed Land Use Register can be searched property by property on its own site, but is not published as data.

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.
