Get Your Property Surveyed By A Professional

There are some people who spend their entire life visiting courts to fix constructional disputes. If you want to stay away from such hassles, hire a reputed surveyor for your project.

So, you think you’re smart enough to know everything about the legal description of your property? If not, then probably you are the smartest among all, because knowing all the legal aspects of a property is not easy for an owner. Therefore, you need to hire a professional surveyor to determine exactly what you need to do more to successfully establish the project. They can help you to settle common property description issues before the things turn into problems. Here are some common reasons why a property owner should hire a surveyor:

Boundary Lines

Basically, a surveyor’s assistance is needed to mark the exact location of boundary lines and other lines of occupancy before building a fence. These small pieces of information can later become an issue if not determined properly. As a smart property owner, before unknowingly placing your fences or wall on the neighbour’s boundary, it is a wise choice to get your property surveyed by a professional.

Easements, Common Passage And Abandoned Roads

A property survey will show all the conditions imposed by law that are reflected in the report and other agreements. If somehow your property blocks your neighbour’s access to road, there may be an old agreement called an easement that gives your neighbours the right to walk across your yard to the street. This is often termed as a common passage.

Existing Improvements

The surveyor can certify that the buildings, other improvements and repairs done to the property are not in violation of laws or other restrictions such as those considering the height, dimension, building lines, frontage and parking. Of course, the surveyor can also tell you if your latest improvement is in violation, which may put you on notice.

Telephone & telegraph pipes, drains, water lines, gas and vaults

Poles and wires exerted above the ground are normal, but the surveyor can usually report on the existence of underground cables and drains as well, provided that this information is passed on to him/her by the municipality. Also, knowing the exact location of underground utilities is critical before any excavation or construction begins.

Access

Your survey should also state whether there is physical vehicular ingress and egress to an open public street. If so, they can suggest the best entry and exit point based on the blueprint of the plan.

Sometimes a small constructional dispute turns insane between neighbours that too with silly misunderstanding. To get rid of daily squabble, hiring a surveyor is a smart consideration.
