AI summary
A Land Information Memorandum (LIM) is a council-prepared report summarizing its records on a property. It's a vital part of due diligence for buyers, detailing consents, zoning, potential hazards like flooding, and rates owing.
While not exhaustive, a key benefit is that the council is liable for inaccuracies. You can order a LIM from the local council for a fee. Making your offer conditional on a satisfactory LIM allows you to withdraw if unconsented work or other major issues are discovered.
