Spinks Cottage

List No. 4704Built 1863Listed 1986

The cottage was built for William Spinks, an early Wellington storekeeper, and from 1862 the first Wharfinger (Wharf Manager) of Queen's Wharf. The cottage has strong links with the early history of education in Wellington. For many years part of the house was used by Mr Spinks daughter as a school for young ladies. The school closed in 1879 and in 1884 the cottage was bought by St John's Presbyterian Church. The cottage had been owned by the church for 102 years.

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 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.
