About

Public property data, made readable.

PropertyKete is a New Zealand property intelligence platform. We pull together official, open, and licensed datasets — from LINZ, GNS Science, Stats NZ, councils, the Ministry of Education, MBIE, and OpenStreetMap — and present what they say about a property in plain English, with the source visible on every finding.

What guides the build

• Missing data is missing, not safe.If a dataset doesn’t cover your address, the report says so. We never silently treat a coverage gap as a clean result.
• Source on every finding. Each card cites the dataset, the owner, and the refresh date so you can trace any number back to its origin.
• Scores are explainable. Every score carries a direction label (higher = more risk or higher = better) and the methodology version that produced it. Reports are reproducible.
• No overclaiming.We say what the data shows. We don’t imply a property is safe, insurable, mortgageable, or a good investment — only a qualified professional reviewing your specific situation can do that.

What we cover

Coverage varies by dataset and by council. Some checks run from nationwide data and return a result for any New Zealand address: active fault proximity, local authority, school enrolment zones, area deprivation (NZDep2023), nearby amenities and public transport access. Council hazard and planning layers are held for Auckland at present, so a report elsewhere runs fewer checks — and says which ones did not run, rather than treating the gap as a clear result.

Coverage by city lists exactly what runs, what returns no result, and what is not checked anywhere.
