Updating Flat Plan on the defective title

If the buildings on-site do not match your flat plan, then your title is probably defective. We can undertake a check on this for you. If this is the case, we can help to rectify the flat plan.

It is important to note that the building consent authorising the construction of the additions or new building does not automatically update the flat of the title, so rectifying a defective title requires a full subdivision process through Council and LINZ. It is not a simple process, and it can take several months to go through the required Council, survey & legal processes.
