Inside your free report
Your property first. Then what it means.
It opens with what the public records say your property is — and only then what that means for adding to it, and what needs checking next.
02
Then the extension potential
A plain-English verdict, a concept size range where the evidence supports one, and the risk that would shape the design. Not a design or consent promise.
03
Three maps of your own property
Water movement and public pipes, planning controls and the ground-risk screen — each drawn over your aerial, plus one map with everything on it together.
04
Rules, next checks and every source
The zone standards a design is measured against, who to engage and when, and the full list of layers queried — including any that did not answer.
The free Property Information and Extension Potential Report
Ten pages. Useful enough to act on.
Your property’s own measurements, then the extension answer, then the maps and rules behind it. Every finding says whether it was identified, not identified in the layer we queried, or whether that data was unavailable — so a source that did not answer is never dressed up as an all-clear. Ten reports are prepared each month so each address can be checked properly, and ten is a hard ten. We do not top it up.
Illustrative sample only. These pages are produced by the same report builder your report uses, but the address, the figures and the base image are invented — not a real property. Your report is generated for one submitted address from the public records available on the issue date, over a real aerial of that property.
A safer first step
Find out if the property deserves more money.
You start with the free report. The $199 Property File + Builder Review is offered only when the first result shows genuine extension potential.
Submit one address
Use one email for one property each month. If this month’s 10 are already gone, you choose: $99 and we start this week, or hold a free place for the 1st of next month.
The report is emailed to you
We query the Council, LINZ and Watercare layers, draw the maps over your aerial and email the ten pages to you — usually within minutes, with the limitations stated on the paper.
Choose the $199 review
If the result is favourable, AVR can review the Council property file and talk through practical risks and next steps with you.
If the first report says “low potential”, stop there.
Reserve a free report
You do not need to buy the $199 review just to be told the property has a major early constraint.
Two clear stages
Free feasibility first. Builder review only when it is worth it.
No subscription and no upfront Council-file cost. The first report helps screen out properties that do not deserve more spending.
Step 1 · 10 free each month · 10 left
Property Information & Extension Potential Report
$0 for the first 10 · then $99
- One Auckland residential address
- Your property measured: parcel, roofs, coverage, zone
- Plain-English extension verdict and concept range where supportable
- Relevant Council controls and source links
- Three maps of your property and practical risk notes
- Missing evidence and recommended next checks
Comparable early feasibility services are advertised at $1,500–$1,900; scope varies. One property per email each month.
When the 10 are gone: $99 incl. GST and we start this week, or a free place on the 1st of next month — first on the list, first done.
Step 2 · invitation after a favourable result
Property File + Builder Review
$199 incl. GST
- Review of your free Property Information & Extension Potential Report
- Review of your Council property file
- If you do not have it, AVR orders the property file for you at no charge
- Practical extension direction and key risks
- Concept-size guidance only where supportable
- 30-minute phone or online call
- Written next-step list after the review
The $199 pays for AVR’s review and advice. The Council property-file order is complimentary if needed. Offered only when the first report appears feasible.
Reserve a monthly report place
What property are you looking at?
You can check a home you own or one you are considering buying. If this month’s 10 are gone, you can pay $99 to have it this week or hold a free place for next month — the form shows you which applies before you confirm.
01
Kept with your request
We save the enquiry, report file and delivery activity together on your AVR lead so nothing gets lost.
02
One property each month
Each email address can reserve one property report per calendar month. Repeat requests for the same property return the existing record.
03
No wasted review fee
The $199 next-step review is shown only when the free report indicates the extension has a reasonable chance of moving forward.
Questions, answered
Know what you get—and where the limits sit.
What is in the free report?
Ten pages for one Auckland address. It opens with your property — parcel area, legal description, record of title, mapped roof outlines, building coverage against the zone limit and an indicative impervious figure — then gives the extension verdict and a concept range where supportable, three maps of the property, the zone standards that shape a design, who to engage next, and every source we queried.
Why are only 10 reports free each month?
Each report is built from live Council, LINZ and Watercare data and emailed to you automatically, so the limit is not typing time — it is what we can stand behind, follow up on and talk through with people alongside the homes we are building. Where the public data is too thin to reach any conclusion, the report is held back and a person looks at it instead of sending you an empty answer. When the tenth is reserved the counter reads zero and stays there until the 1st. We do not top it up.
What happens when the counter hits zero?
Two choices, and neither is “we’ll squeeze you in”. Pay $99 incl. GST and we prepare the report this week, or hold a free place for the 1st of next month. The list is first in, first served — and it is usually a two-to-three-week wait, during which you are either not moving on the extension or paying someone else to start drawing blind.
Is the $99 the same thing as the $199 review?
No. The $99 is the Property Information & Extension Potential Report itself, when the month’s free ten are gone. The $199 Property File + Builder Review is a separate second step, offered only if your report comes back favourable.
Can I hold a free place now and send the address later?
No. A place is taken by an address landing in the form, not by a promise. The last few places each month tend to go on the same day.
Can I request more than one property?
One email address can reserve one property report per calendar month. You can submit another property in a later month.
How quickly will I receive it?
Usually within a few minutes of confirming, straight to the email address you gave. It can take longer if a Council or LINZ service is slow to answer, and if the public data is too thin to reach any conclusion the report is held for a person to look at rather than sent — we will still be in touch. If you held a free place for a later month, it is prepared in the month it was allocated to.
What does the $199 review include?
AVR reviews the free report and Council property file, gives a practical builder view of the extension direction and main risks, holds a 30-minute phone or online call, and provides a written next-step list.
Do I need to buy the Council property file?
No. If your free report is favourable and you choose the $199 review, send us your existing property file. If you do not have one, AVR orders it for you at no charge. The $199 pays for AVR’s review and advice, not the file order.
Why is the $199 review offered only after a favourable result?
Because we do not want you paying for a detailed review when the early evidence already shows a major constraint or too much uncertainty. The free report is the first filter.
Will the report confirm exactly how many square metres I can add?
No. It may give a concept range where the evidence supports one. Survey, levels, service location, design, title and specialist input can still change the result.
Does this replace a LIM, title review or building inspection?
No. Those answer different questions. This report is an early extension-potential screen using current public sources and the information supplied with your order.
Does AVR visit the property?
Not for the desktop report. An onsite consultation can be arranged separately where physical access, levels, existing construction or condition needs to be checked.
Can I rely on it before bidding at auction?
Use it to decide what to investigate next, not as a purchase approval. Before bidding or going unconditional, obtain the legal, survey, engineering, planning, drainage and building advice relevant to the risks identified.
What happens if the maps show a serious constraint?
The report explains the likely consequence and identifies the right next specialist. AVR will not turn an uncertain result into a false “yes”.
Is the report only for Auckland?
At launch, yes. The process is built around current Auckland Council and Watercare sources and Auckland Unitary Plan rules.
One address. One sensible first decision.
