Property compliance · All 66 NZ councils

Check the property file before you list

Upload a council file and Parcely reads every page, pulls out the consents, certificates and notices, and sets them beside the district plan rules for that zone. It shows you what the documents say — and what they never mention.

Zoning and LINZ title data cover all 66 councils. Hazard layers are published by individual councils, so coverage varies by district — we show you which hazards were checked and which weren’t.

Built for the compliance check

The file, the rules, and the gaps between them.

A property file is documents, rules and what the owner says. Parcely holds all three in one place, and shows you where they do not line up.

🔍

Document cross-check

Reads every page of a council file and pulls out the consents, certificates, notices and consent notices — each one cited back to the document and page it came from.

📐

Standards from the district plan

Height, setbacks, site coverage and impervious surface for the property's zone, read from the published plan. Where a rule lives in a map or figure, we say so rather than inventing a number.

📋

Disclosure schedule

A draft schedule for the sale and purchase agreement: what the file establishes, and what it does not. Items nothing in the documents settles are listed as unresolved rather than left out, each with the document to check. For a professional to review, not a substitute for one.

Vendor questionnaire & site checklist

Record what the owner tells you and what is actually on site — structure by structure, with consent numbers, dimensions and photos. Where those disagree with the file, you see it.

📍

Zone, hazards & title

Zoning across all 66 territorial authorities, hazard data from council datasets, and LINZ parcel and title details. Does not include owner names or encumbrances.

📖

District plan library

665 compiled zone pages across 64 councils, so the rules for a zone are already assembled rather than searched for each time.

💬

Ask about the property

Questions the panels did not answer, asked against that property's own report, documents and facts — not a blank search box.

Built for NZ professionals

Made for the people who move property

From agents to architects — everyone who needs to know what a property file actually says.

Real Estate Agents

Know what is in the file before you list

Consents without a code compliance certificate, unresolved notices, work with nothing covering it. Find them while there is still time to ask the vendor, not at settlement.

Property Developers

Check the constraints before you buy

Zone standards, hazard data and what the existing consents actually cover — so you know what you are buying into before you commit.

Architects & Planners

The zone's standards, already assembled

Height, setbacks, coverage and impervious surface for the zone, with the plan text behind each one — instead of opening a district plan PDF mid-meeting.

Conveyancers & Lawyers

Know what to ask before it goes unconditional

A structured view of what the supplied documents record, and what they never mention, so the questions get asked while your client can still act on the answers.

How it works

Address, file, findings

01

Start a project

Enter the address. Parcely resolves the parcel, the council, the zone and the hazard data, and assembles the standards that apply to that zone.

02

Add the file

Drop in the council documents — LIM, consents, certificates, correspondence. Each is classified and read page by page, and pages that are scans get marked as unreadable rather than treated as empty.

03

See what does not line up

Consents without a code compliance certificate, notices with nothing resolving them, and figures that sit outside the plan's standards — each cited to its document and page, ready to check with the council.
