What Does a Boundary Survey Involve?
A boundary survey generally involves several steps to establish accurate property lines. First, we gather historical and current data, including deeds, prior land use records, and previous surveys, referencing guidelines like the RICS 'Guidance Note on Boundaries'.
Then, we perform a site visit using precision equipment such as total stations and GPS for precise measurement and mapping, adhering to Ordnance Survey standards. During the site visit, we may also identify physical markers like fences or stone walls indicative of boundary lines.
Next, we analyse the findings by overlaying the measurements with existing records to detect discrepancies. Finally, we provide you with a detailed boundary plan, sometimes accompanied by a digital map for easier understanding of the estate layout.
This professional approach ensures legal compliance and clarity in property ownership. Let us know how we can assist with your boundary surveying needs.
