Land information memorandum

A land information memorandum or LIM gives you a copy of Council's records on a building and the land it's on, and any issues that might affect them. It is the most comprehensive report you can get on a property, and includes historical and current information.

People usually request a LIM when considering whether or not to buy a property.
