Once a subdivision is consented and infrastructure is built, formal sign-off from council is required before new titles can issue. This is the s223 and s224c certification process - confirming that the physical works and documentation comply with the resource consent and engineering approvals. We compile the compliance package, liaise with council, and manage the process through to new title issuing.
This stage is often underestimated. The compliance package must demonstrate that every consent condition has been met - and councils scrutinise it carefully. Missing documents or inadequate evidence causes delays at the point when you’re closest to the finish line. With titles held up, settlement cannot proceed and financing costs accumulate. Following through to the end is just as important as starting well.
We track consent conditions from the outset, so nothing is left to scramble for at the end. Doing things right throughout the project - collecting construction testing records, as-built surveys, and completion certificates as works progress - means the compliance package comes together systematically rather than in a last-minute rush. We submit to council with a covering schedule that maps each condition to its evidence, making it straightforward for the processing officer to approve. We follow up proactively, resolve queries quickly, and coordinate with your surveyor and solicitor to lodge the Land Transfer plan and issue new titles.
