Why You May Need A Land Surveyor

 

A land surveyor is a person who has completed an educational course which qualifies him or her to accurately and quickly determine the boundaries, extensions, and relative position of a parcel of land and its elevations on a given level. For example, if you are purchasing real estate to use as an investment, you want to make sure that the land surveying work done on it will give you the information you need to purchase the land with the greatest amount of confidence. A land surveyor will also mark the corners of the property and create a detailed accurate map showing structural and permanent buildings and boundaries on the land, if requested. He can also help you in the planning process of how you wish your landscape to look. Land surveys are especially important if purchasing real estate within a community because it will give the neighbors an idea as to the value of the property within the community.

If you are not purchasing real estate as an investment, you may still need a land surveying done for a number of reasons. If you are building a new house, you should first have a survey made so that you know if you are building on the correct plan, the boundaries of the property lines, and that there are no underground pipes or electricity lines that could pose a problem in the future. In addition, if you are remodeling an existing house, it is important to have a legal description of the boundaries of the lot lines, all property lines, and the exact location of the house in relation to these landmarks so that there is no dispute down the road about whether it was built on the right site. If you were to do any re-sodding, for example, without having a legal description of the property boundaries, you could run into major problems.

Surveys are usually performed by professionals in land surveying and land surveying firms. The price for such surveys will depend on the size of the area being surveyed, the distance between the survey points and the boundaries, the quality of the surveys (how they are laid out, etc. ), and the experience of the land surveyor conducting the survey. Usually the charges for boundary surveys tend to be a little higher than those for other types of surveys because the additional information from a boundary survey can include more precise readings of elevations and other measurements and more precise information about boundaries and property lines.

BJP Land Surveyors Canterbury: Helping Establishing Boundaries

If you get along well with your neighbours, it is likely that they would be willing to help you establish your boundaries as well as fix any issues that might be a problem. Before you take down any trees or establish any property corners, talk with them. You can establish property corners by planting trees on both sides of the property lines. Once you have established property corners on your property lines, if you have any building permits, you might want to ask your neighbors to help you mark and plant trees on their property corners so that you won’t have to pay for an outside expert to do this task for you.

If your property has no buildings and you have no plans for future improvements, it’s difficult to predict what boundaries you might have in the future. Therefore, it is best to hire a licensed land surveyor to help you establish the boundaries for you, if you don’t have a clue. If your property has buildings and you are thinking about building another, or if you have plans to add a building at some point in the future, talk with your land surveyor about building boundaries. The boundary issue is important because you do not want to build on your boundary and then have to undo the works!
