IS IT NECESSARY TO CHART A LAND BEFORE PURCHASE.

A Survey plan is a document that measures the boundary of a parcel of land to give an accurate measurement and description of that land. The people that handle survey issues are Surveyors and they are regulated by the office of the Surveyor.

No matter how cheap or beautiful or strategically located a land or property is, once that property has been discovered to be designated for Government use in future, there is no point going any further to purchase it.

Hence, it is highly recommended to have a land surveyed and charted by a licensed surveyor before buying it. Here are some reasons why,

1. To confirm the property boundaries: When you purchase land, it’s essential to know exactly where your property boundaries lie. A surveyor will use specialized equipment and techniques to locate and mark the boundaries of the property, which will help you avoid disputes with neighboring property owners. Additionally, if there are any discrepancies or overlaps in the boundaries, a surveyor can help resolve these issues before you make a purchase.
2. To identify any encroachments: Encroachments refer to any structures or buildings that have been built on a neighboring property but cross over the boundary line into the property you intend to purchase. Identifying any encroachments before making a purchase can prevent future legal disputes or issues that may arise from the encroachment. A surveyor will physically measure the boundaries of the property and will be able to identify if any structures or buildings are outside the boundary lines.
3. To identify any easements or rights of way: An easement is a legal right to use or access someone else’s property for a specific purpose, such as allowing a utility company to run power lines or access roads. It’s important to identify any easements or rights of way that affect the property before making a purchase. A surveyor will be able to identify any easements or rights of way by reviewing the property deed and conducting a physical inspection of the property. Knowing about any easements or rights of way that affect the property can help you understand any limitations on the use of the property and prevent future legal issues.

Here are some general steps that a licensed surveyor would typically follow when charting a land:

1. Research the property: The first step is to research the property and obtain any existing surveys, plats, or other relevant documents that may provide information on the property boundaries, easements, or other features that may affect the land. The surveyor will also typically obtain information from government agencies, such as the county or city, to determine any zoning or land use restrictions that may impact the property.
2. Conduct a physical inspection: The surveyor will then visit the property and conduct a physical inspection of the land. They will use specialized equipment such as GPS receivers, total stations, and other instruments to measure and mark the boundaries of the property. The surveyor may also measure the elevation of the land to create a topographic map.
3. Create a survey plat: The surveyor will use the data collected during the physical inspection to create a survey plat. The plat is a detailed drawing of the property that shows the property boundaries, any easements or rights-of-way, and any structures or improvements located on the property. The surveyor will typically include a written description of the property boundaries and any relevant features that may impact the property.
4. Submit the survey plat: Once the survey plat is completed, the surveyor will typically submit it to the local government agency for review and approval. The agency will review the plat to ensure that it meets local requirements and that it accurately reflects the property boundaries and features.
5. Deliver the final product: Once the survey plat is approved, the surveyor will typically deliver the final product to the client, along with any other relevant documents such as a survey report or legal description. The client can then use the survey plat to confirm the property boundaries, identify any encroachments, and determine any easements or rights-of-way that may affect the property.

The process of charting a land requires a great deal of knowledge, skill, and precision. It is important to work with a licensed surveyor who has experience in charting land to ensure that the survey is accurate and meets local requirements.
