If you do not resolve a requisition or an open resource consent on a LIM
An unresolved or open requisition or an open resource consent can affect the sale of a property. This is because any incomplete requirements and related costs at the time of the sale become the responsibility of the new owner.
We encourage potential buyers to ask the person selling the property (the vendor) to resolve any incomplete items on the LIM before the sale, or at least discuss the details with them first.
When we can resolve requisitions and close open resource consents
We can only mark consents as complete or close requisitions once all legal requirements are met.
Unauthorised work
We can only close a requisition for unauthorised work at a property when we receive evidence that this work has been removed, or if it complies with the Resource Management Act.
Related fees
We charge fees for:
- resource consent monitoring - finding out the status of a resource consent and any issues that might be delaying it
- updating, resolving and removing requisitions.
Once you have resolved the building or land issue to our satisfaction, we will charge you a fee to remove the requisition.
If the matter needing resolution is complex, we will let you know if further fees will apply.
Once all related fees are paid, we will remove the requisition from the LIM.
Fees are based on two hours of either a compliance officer or senior compliance officer’s time.
