The reality
By the time you've paid the lawyer and fallen in love with the photos, you're already emotionally committed. These are things buyers wish they'd known first.
What's included
Official council and government data, plus AI-powered research that searches the web so you don't have to.
We search the web for news, incidents, nearby businesses, community issues, and anything else that's happened on or near the street.
Official council valuation, how it compares to the suburb, estimated annual rates, and a rough market price range.
Flooding, fault lines, liquefaction, tsunami zones — explained in plain English, not technical jargon.
Freehold, cross-lease, or unit title — and what each one actually means for your renovation plans and resale.
What you can build, what your neighbours can build, and how the zoning rules might affect your future plans.
Nearest schools, supermarkets, transport, cafes, and a walkability score — real lifestyle intel.
Simple as
Any Wellington residential property. Our autocomplete pulls from WCC address data so you find the exact one.
Council valuation, zoning, natural hazards, title type, amenities — all from official sources. Then an AI searches the web for anything relevant about the street.
Plain English findings. The important stuff front and centre. Use it to decide if it's worth getting a LIM, a lawyer, or a building inspection.
Think of Housewise as the first step in your buying process. Your lawyer does the legal title work. Your building inspector checks the structure. Housewise gives you the big picture so you can decide if it's even worth going further — before you spend money on professionals.
Free for any Wellington address. Takes under a minute.
