What the data tells you
Recorded facts

- Public-transport figures describe how recorded titles sit near mapped stops. They do not describe a service from a particular property.
- Coast distance is a suburb-level map measure, not a flood or hazard assessment.
Questions worth investigating
- For any cross-lease property you consider, do the current title, flats plan and lease match what is built today?
- What do the LIM, council property file and a suitable inspection add for the specific address?

The lie of the land in Stanley Point

Much of the land is low-lying: the median elevation is 7 m, and parts are below sea level.
Unusually much of the sloping land faces north: 35%, where about a quarter would if slopes faced every way equally.
Slope is not a measure of ground stability. Sources and limits

Measured in a straight line from the centre of each title's land to the coastline on LINZ's 1:50k topographic map, which follows harbours and estuaries as well as the open coast; lakes and rivers are not included.
