About caveats

Types of caveats you can prepare and the modes you can prepare them in New Landonline.

The types of caveats you can prepare are:

  • Against dealings with land under s138 Land Transfer Act 2017. This is a standard caveat.
  • Forbidding issue of title removing limitation under s207(1) Land Transfer Act 2017.

You can use 3 modes to prepare a standard caveat:

  • Simple mode
  • Complex mode
  • Instrument mode.

You can only prepare a caveat forbidding issue of title removing limitation under s207(1) Land Transfer Act 2017 in Complex mode.

Some caveats can auto register if they relate to an Agreement for Sale and Purchase or Agreement to Mortgage. All mandatory information must be provided, including the registered owner's address.

The instrument must also pass the relevant business rules. Caveats will step down to Lodge with LINZ for registration if they:

  • fail the business rules
  • include further information in the interest claimed field, or
  • fail on any other basis.

The details for the registered owner will not display for affected titles subject to a withholding direction (hidden title).
