The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is an online central registry run by the New Zealand Government. It reflects security interests that are registered for personal property (including items or assets). The PPSR gives preference over private property assigned according to the date a security interest has been registered.
A caveat is a legal document lodged to offer an official notice of a claim on a property.
