Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand opened consultation on 29 April on proposals to increase fees charged for survey and property title services.
This follows a review of charges in response to rising service delivery costs and lower than anticipated property market activity.
Three fee changes are proposed:
A discussion document setting out proposals and options is available on the LINZ website.
Any fee increases would likely take effect from early 2025, pending consultation and Cabinet approval.
A discussion document setting out proposals and options is available on the Survey and Title Fees Review consultation page on the LINZ website.
Proposals to update fees for LINZ survey and title services
We welcome your feedback. Submissions can be made either by email to [email protected] or through our online form on the consultation page.
Consultation closes at midnight on 7 June.
After a successful pilot of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for users of New Landonline, we're planning to apply this to all registered Landonline user profiles over the next few months.
MFA is a widely accepted industry standard to increase security. It will help limit unauthorised access to our New Landonline services, such as Web Search, Dealings and Survey.
We'll be rolling this out on a firm-by-firm basis, and will reach out to your firm's trusted contact with an onboarding date and supporting information as we get closer to applying this to your user profile.
MFA will be rolled out to all users, including those who currently only use Legacy Landonline. This will ensure that this authentication method is in place for every firm prior to the New Landonline transition in 2025.
Note that MFA will not be required for Legacy Landonline access, though - digital certificates will continue to be the authentication method for this.
Consultation is open on the proposed new Authority and Identity Requirements for E-Dealing Standard and the Authority and Identity Requirements for E-Dealing Guideline.
The proposed new standard and guideline revise and consolidate the existing guidance and interim guidance published in the Authority and Identity Requirements and Electronic Signing of Documents Interim Guideline 2020.
To find out more about the proposed new standard and guideline, or to make a submission, visit the consultation page:
Feedback sought on the draft Authority and Identity Requirements for E-Dealing Standard and draft Authority and Identity Requirements for E-Dealing Guideline
Feedback on the draft documents is welcome. Submissions can be made by email to [email protected] by 5pm, Friday 24 May 2024.
The standard and guideline are expected to come into effect later this year. An update on timing will be provided after the consultation closes.
We've updated the navigation and layout for the certification page in New Landonline's Dealings application.
These changes have been driven by customer feedback, improving ease of use and aligning the page navigation with other screens in the app.
You'll notice that by selecting an instrument row, a slide out panel will appear where you can preview the instrument and complete your certifications.
