Property History Reports

Are you interested in knowing the history of your property? Even if your house was built recently, your property may once have been the location of pre-European Māori occupation, an historic homestead or part of a larger estate. 

We can prepare a comprehensive property history for any property in New Zealand. Starting from New Zealand's early Māori settlement and colonization. We draw on historic maps, deed indexes, business registries, Certificates of Titles and museum, library and photographic archives as well as other sources to find as much information as possible about your home and its previous owners. 

Property History Reports will be emailed to you as a PDF document.

Reports can be purchased through our Shop

  • Unsure if your project requires an archaeologist? Contact us for an archaeological screening report. Even if the property you are working on was built or developed in the 20th century, there is a possibility that archaeological material may be present.

    An Archaeological Screening Report is a short, desk top only investigation into the history of your works area. It will let you know the risk of archaeological material being present and the steps you should take to manage that risk. These documents help offer legal protection and can be produced within 1-3 working days.
