Local knowledge
Building in Lincoln
Selwyn District Council
Consents for Lincoln go through Selwyn District Council, based in Rolleston.
Old and new
Older houses near Gerald Street suit renovations and character upgrades. Newer homes in the subdivisions often need decks, ensuites or extra living space.
University town
With Lincoln University in town, plenty of houses are rentals. Rental homes have to meet the Healthy Homes standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and draughts.
Ground water
Parts of Lincoln have a high water table, which affects foundation design and drainage under decks.
