How we rank
Before you hire
Defining where a boundary legally sits is restricted work under the Cadastral Survey Act 2002, so check any surveyor doing it against the Cadastral Surveyors Licensing Board register. For a pre-purchase inspection, use a member of the NZ Institute of Building Inspectors (NZIBI) or a similar body, and confirm you will receive a written report. Ask an agent for recent sale prices against appraisal, a mortgage broker how many lenders they work with and whether the lender pays them a commission, and a property manager for their current vacancy rate.
