The long version

Property analysis from the public record

PropertyMetrics NZ is a free analysis platform for New Zealand property. Type an address and it assembles the public record around that property: estimated market rent from MBIE tenancy bonds, gross and net rental yield, natural-hazard exposure, school zones, and parcel and title geometry from LINZ. These are the same figures a paid desktop report would quote, drawn live from the agencies that publish them, with every number cited back to its source.

Two questions, one address

Every site carries two questions: what could you build here, and what is it worth? The feasibility screen tests a section against the national granny-flat standard, multi-unit and subdivision rules, and returns indicative build potential in seconds. The analysis view prices the same address as an investment: rent, yield, hazards and the trend behind each. Around the two sit free calculators for mortgage repayments, LVR, bright-line and rental tax, and city-by-city yield guides covering fifteen New Zealand centres from Auckland to Invercargill.

Common questions

Is PropertyMetrics NZ free?

Yes. Every tool on the site is free to use with no trial period. An account is only needed if you want to save properties to a portfolio or share an analysis with someone else.

Where does the data come from?

Six public sources: LINZ for parcels and titles, Stats NZ for suburb boundaries and census context, MBIE for tenancy bond rents, GeoNet for seismic hazard, the Ministry of Education for school zones, and NZDep for deprivation context. The methodology and data sources pages set out exactly how each figure is calculated.

Is this financial advice?

No. Everything here is automated, indicative screening from public records — a rigorous starting point for your own due diligence, not a substitute for it. The disclaimer covers the detail.
