5 Redbridge Lane, Sydenham, Christchurch
This property is cross lease
The council's District Plan map shows the Liquefaction Management Zone here. Read the title and the council records before you make an offer.
This record may be wrongly matched to this address, and the title may carry interests (such as easements, covenants and caveats) that are not shown here. Check the certificate of title and the official records.
What we found about this property
Part of this property parcel intersects the Liquefaction Management Zone.
Planning zone. The council's District Plan zones this address as Medium density residential zone. The zone sets what can be built and done on the land.
Planning overlays can affect what you can build or subdivide and what the council asks for. They are not an assessment of this site. Where LINZ links one property parcel to this address the overlay is matched to the parcel, otherwise to the address’s map point, and the council’s outlines are simplified to about 1 m, so an edge case can be reported either way. A LIM and council records can help confirm what applies to this property.
What to check because it’s cross lease
- What cross lease means in practice. You usually own a share of the land (here a 1/2 share) and lease your own home from the other owners. What you may use and change is described in the flats plan and the lease, so changes to the building can involve the other owners.
- The flats plan. The flats plan on the title shows what the lease covers. It needs checking against what exists today: extensions, garages and decks are the usual things to compare.
- The lease terms. The lease can contain rules about alterations, use, subletting and shared responsibilities.
- Whole parcel vs exclusive use. 789 m² is the whole parcel, not necessarily the area belonging exclusively to this home.

“No record returned” and “not covered” are not good news: they mean nothing was found, or nothing was checked.
