When Should I Obtain a LIM Report?

If you consider purchasing a property in the Horowhenua, it is recommended that you obtain a LIM before finalising the purchase.

You will find a LIM very useful in helping you decide whether the land is worth purchasing, free from any restrictions, and whether the intended use of the land is feasible.
