How we worked this out
| Council valuation, Sept 2024 | $695,000 |
|---|---|
| Market movement in Wellington City since the council valuation | −6.0% |
| Apartments and houses in Wellington City | −2.4% |
| Recent sales in this building | +0.7% |
| How Tawa sells against council values | +0.6% |
| Homes of this age in Tawa | +0.7% |
| Homes in this price range | +0.6% |
| Nearby recent sales (15) | +0.7% |
| Its own sale in 2025 | −5.2% |
| Our estimate | $625,000 |
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 and its own last sale 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.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet
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.
Free. Takes about a minute.
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.
What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.
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 Wellington 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.
Greater Wellington will send the file on a listed site on request; quote the site number.
Ask Greater Wellington 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.
