There are many areas of the land when one needs to
do a thorough check of the land. Registered land surveyors are
called for specific reasons. It can be for a legal matter about the property, construction
site, topographic issues, etc.
To find out lapses, gaps, and gores
These problems come along with and are part of
boundary line certification. Most surveys consist of a statement that (unless
the surveys say otherwise) there is no difference/discrepancies between the
property boundaries of your land and the bordering property. This is
particularly pertinent if your property is next to highways, roads, alleys, or
streets.
Boundary Lines/Property Lines
One common universal reason for the landowner to
seek the help of a licensed surveyor is the location of boundary lines and
others to determine other lines. These legal boundaries of tenure or possession
are critical pieces of information to have, before you add a sun-room, build a
fence, or pave your driveway.
Ponds, Creeks, Rivers, Wells, Streams, and Lakes
A typical survey reports noticeable or surface
waters only. Wetlands and Underground waters are topics that are better covered
by other professional inspectors.
Existing Improvements
The surveyor will generally certify that the
buildings and other alterations, improvements, and repairs to a property that
exists at the time of the study are not in the desecration of laws or other
restrictions.
Residential boundary survey- Common restrictions on residential property can regard:
- Height
- Frontage
- Building lines
- Set-backs
- Dimension
- Parking
- Bulk
Rights-of-Way, Abandoned Roads and Easements
A survey will demonstrate all the conditions forced
by law that is reflected in your property's title report and other agreement
papers.
If your land/home blocks your neighbor's entrance to the road, for
example, there may be an old contract (called an "easement") that
gives your neighbor the right to walk across your courtyard to the street.
This information should be unrestricted public records.
