Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cadastral survey?
A cadastral survey is a land survey that defines the legal boundaries of a property. It establishes boundary lines, identifies easements and other interests such as leases, and determines the dimensions of land parcels.
Cadastral surveys are often used for property sales, development, subdivisions, and legal documentation of land ownership. These surveys are conducted by registered cadastral surveyors, who follow strict standards to ensure compliance with legislation, regulations and standards. Boundary identification surveys marks property boundaries accurately and provide an official plan confirming these marks - helping landowners avoid disputes and confidently plan for property improvements, construction, or future land transactions.
When is a cadastral survey required?
Cadastral surveys are essential in various situations, including property sales, subdivisions, developments near boundaries, and boundary disputes. They’re also used when building near property edges to ensure construction remains within legal limits. A cadastral survey may be required by local councils, legal bodies, or mortgage lenders to verify property boundaries before approving land transactions or development projects. By accurately defining boundaries and providing an official survey plan, cadastral surveys help property owners meet compliance requirements, ensure legal ownership, and prevent potential conflicts with neighbouring landowners.
What is a boundary identification survey?
A boundary identification survey confirms the exact boundary lines of a property, often by placing survey markers at each corner. It’s useful when installing fences, building structures, or verifying property limits. This survey is conducted by a registered cadastral surveyor and results in an official survey plan that serves as a legal reference. By marking boundaries accurately, it prevents encroachments and helps maintain good relations with neighbours.
Many councils or lenders may require this survey for developments, ensuring that property boundaries are legally confirmed before any significant improvements or construction projects begin.
What types of cadastral surveys do you perform?
