Boundary Survey.

Feefo logo

A boundary survey is a detailed and professional survey of a piece of land that defines and maps out the exact legal boundaries of a property to ensure they match deed and title records, to establish physical boundaries, responsibilities and identify rights of way.

A boundary survey is essential for protecting your property rights and ensuring legal, accurate, and conflict-free land use, avoiding hefty legal fees, fines, or property disputes in the future.

Boundary surveys are essential for:

  • Clarity of Legal Ownership
    They confirm the legal boundaries of your property, helping avoid disputes with neighbouring property owners or potential buyers.
  • Construction Planning
    Critical for ensuring new buildings, fences, or additions comply with laws of ownership and don’t cross onto bordering properties.
  • Transactions of Property
    Lenders, buyers, and title companies often require boundary surveys to confirm the extent of what is included in the sale or purchase.
  • Land Dispute Resolution
    A survey provides clear evidence if disagreements arise regarding property lines.

    Avoiding the risk of illegally encroaching onto land that isn’t yours
  • Legal Disputes:
    These can be costly and may result in property being demolished or removed
  • Land Value:
    Misunderstanding the extent of ownership may result in reappraisal and have a negative impact on the value on your investment
