04 · Rejection log

Listings we advised against, with the reason code behind each decision

Six of the twelve anonymised rejections logged between January and June 2025. Each entry was recorded at the point of inspection, not after a deal collapsed.

  1. UTL-02 Gas main ends 240 m from the plot boundary; quoted connection work outweighed the price gap to a serviced cottage.
  2. ACC-01 Last 900 m of access is an unregistered track across a neighbouring parcel, with no written right of way.
  3. DOC-04 Cadastral boundary differs from the fenced area by 0.06 ha; seller could not produce a survey to reconcile it.
  4. STR-03 Roof rafters show moisture staining along the north slope; previous repair was cosmetic only.
  5. ACC-05 Winter access depends on a shared culvert that floods; no maintenance agreement exists between owners.
  6. DOC-02 House was never entered into the register after completion; legalisation would fall on the buyer.

Every code maps to one of the four verification steps we run. See how reason codes are assigned or ask for a comparison of live cottages.
