Identify the Location of the Boundary Lines of Your Land through Boundary and Topographic Survey

Land surveying is a critical aspect of buying or selling property. It is essential for refinancing or when you need to get a mortgage from a reputable lender, too. Boundary and topographic surveys are commonly performed by a land surveyor to establish the boundaries and maps of your property. The information from those surveys will also be helpful when you need to expand, renovate, or build on the land, and for due diligence as the results can help you protect your rights as the owner of the property.

The boundary survey is a process of identifying, finding, analyzing, and measuring the location of the land’s boundary lines, as well as reporting all that information. It may reveal encroachments, which may exist on the land, and it may help save you from encroaching on neighboring property, too. Only a licensed surveyor is qualified to conduct this survey, as this professional has the knowledge, skills, and the equipment to pinpoint the exact boundaries of your property. With their help, you can avoid costly issues associated with lawsuits, demolition, and rebuilding down the line.

When conducting boundary surveys, professional land surveyors do not merely measure your property and determine where the boundaries lie. They go the extra mile by locating deeds and looking up wills, maps, plans, and other documents that may have previously defined the location of your property and the rights associated with it. This way, in case of a lawsuit, you could rely on the surveyor as a credible witness. Surveyors can conduct a detailed investigation of your land and help you with special tasks like boundary adjustment and land subdivision.

Topographic surveys are conducted to determine your land’s geographical location, and this information will be useful in identifying the property’s map and contours. Reputable land surveyors will conduct this survey at the planning phase of your construction or developmental project, as the map ad contours will serve as your base map. With boundary and topographic surveys, you can determine where your boundaries lie all over the property, as the latter conducts the investigation above and beneath ground level. This means the survey covers all materials and objects on the property, such as manholes, utility poles, soil density, walkways, trees, and wells.
