Dear AM
Response to your official information request
Thank you for your official information request received on 7 January 2022 for “record of
title for Mangere Island and Little Mangere Island (Chatham Islands), from 1900 - 1970.”
The information you have requested is publicly available and can be requested through
this link:
Land Record Search. You wil need an address or legal description to identify the
title you are after.
Specialist ‘search agents’ can, for a fee, help you trace the history of a particular property.
They have direct access to the Landonline system, and knowledge of how land records are
structured, including in the historic systems. If you require additional information about a
particular property and are unable to locate the information using Land Record Search,
we suggest you engage a
search agent to assist you.
A historic title will provide you with al interests that have been registered against the
current title since this title was created. This may include a plan or diagram of the land,
and/or a scan of any paper Records of Title issued.
Note: A “Historic Title” will provide information only from the date of issue of that title –
you may need to order prior title references to get back to the name or period of interest.
Accordingly, your request is refused under section 18(d) of the Official Information Act.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
Pete Hill
