What is an ALTA Survey?
An ALTA/NSPS land title survey ensures your title policy is comprehensive and all exception matters are identified, reviewed and addressed. The ALTA land title survey provides you (and your team of title professionals) a clear view of improvements, easements, rights-of-way and other elements that may impact the ownership and use of the subject property.
These types of land surveys provide a wealth of information, including:
- Property boundaries
- Easement and encumbrances
- Encroachments
- Evidence of use by other parties
- Names of neighboring property owners
- Land improvements
- Roads and property features
- Access and legal routes to the property
- Zoning classification
- Flood zone classification
- Water boundaries
- Existence of cemeteries
A boundary survey will not reveal most of the information an ALTA survey does. Boundary surveys often fail to provide critical detailed information needed in many cases. In addition to missing out on important information, getting anything less than the national standard for land surveys can lead to legal problems down the road.
When do you need an ALTA Survey?
When it comes to commercial deals, an ALTA/ACSM is the standard requirement. These types of land surveys are more expensive than the other types but reveal much more extensive information. They are necessary to protect a real property investment.
Commercial closings require ALTA/ACSM surveys in order to safeguard major investments from claims – claims a simple title search may not disclose. The information gleaned from the ALTA/ACSM survey aids the parties involved in the evaluation of the land to discover the potential benefits and downfalls of ownership.
The ALTA/ACSM land survey is the top choice for commercial projects and for those who want the most comprehensive survey available. These surveys abide by high federal standards in terms of research and plat development. There will be no question of hidden property features or defects with an ALTA/ACSM survey. For in-depth research and stringent quality standards, go with the ALTA/ACSM land survey.
