Products and Services
- Deed Plot Plan: A Deed Plot Plan serves to assist landowners and potential buyers in comprehending the description of a parcel of land. This illustration, similar to an MLI, is prepared on an 8.5” x 11” PDF by a licensed land surveyor. It outlines the property's shape, size, location, and notable existing improvements such as buildings and driveways. The Deed Plot Plan provides insightful details about the property without establishing precise boundary lines.
- Mortgage Loan Inspection (MLI): An MLI is designed to aid mortgage lenders with determining risk associated with lending money. The inspection report, prepared by a licensed land surveyor, includes a simple illustration of the property noting the size, shape, location, and improvements situated on a property. An MLI is used to verify if the property complies with applicable local ordinances (such as zoning) and if flood insurance is required. While less precise than a typical boundary survey, it's a cost-effective tool for assessing the value and risk associated with the investment. The report can serve as a negotiation tool for buyers but does not establish or identify boundary lines.
- Boundary Retracement Survey: A traditional Land Survey, the Boundary Retracement Survey serves as an essential tool for determining the perimeter of a property. The survey includes research to trace the lineage of the property back to the original/ operative deeds that created the record boundaries of the parcel. The neighboring chain of titles are analyzed to determine the sequential order of lot creation to determine the perimeter and area of the parcel, identify easements, encroachments, lines of occupation vs lines of record, and compliance with local ordinances. The Boundary Retracement Survey is primarily used as a planning device, and to help avoid conflicts and resolve disputes. This survey is suitable for construction planning and is essential for land owners and prospective buyers to help establish value.
- Existing Conditions Survey/ Site Plans: An Existing Conditions survey integrates topographical and boundary surveys, offering a comprehensive overview of the parcel for residential, commercial, and industrial development. It details land features and elevation contours, aiding developers in characterizing a site thoroughly. Existing Conditions Surveys are commonly used by Civil Engineers and Architects to guides decisions related to investment, engineering and development.
