Title & Boundary Surveys
ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEYS
Often in today’s complex commercial real estate market an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey is required prior to the completion of the real estate transaction. These surveys are prepared by a licensed land surveyor. An ALTA survey is similar to a boundary survey, but is prepared in compliance with a comprehensive set of standards that have been jointly prepared and adopted by the National Society of Professional Surveyors and the American Land Title Association. The ALTA survey requirements allow for consistent survey standards for the surveyor’s across the United States.
ALTA surveys will depict boundaries, site improvements, easements, rights-of-way and other elements impacting the ownership of land. They are intended to inform the buyer, seller, lender, title company and/or attorney of possible encroachments or problems with the physical improvements or legal description both on, and adjacent to the property.
ALTA Surveys are generally required by mortgage lenders, to accompany a title insurance policy, when financing commercial and industrial properties. They may also be required when financing land for development or re-development.
