Certainly! The process of charting land or property involves various steps to establish boundaries, ownership, and other essential details. Here's a comprehensive list of the procedures involved:
Initial Research:
Title Search: Verify the property's ownership history, past transactions, and any existing encumbrances or liens on the property by conducting a thorough title search at the appropriate land registry or government office.
Survey Records Review: Check existing survey records to understand previous boundary markings, dimensions, and any survey-related information available for the property.
Engage a Professional Surveyor:
Hire a licensed surveyor to conduct a physical survey of the property. The surveyor will measure the land, determine boundaries, and create a survey plan with accurate details, including coordinates and landmarks.
Physical Survey:
The surveyor will physically inspect and measure the property, using specialized equipment to demarcate the boundaries and identify any discrepancies or inconsistencies with existing records.
Creation of Survey Plan:
Based on the physical survey, the surveyor will create a detailed survey plan/map that includes accurate measurements, boundary lines, landmarks, and other relevant information. This plan is submitted for approval to the appropriate land registry or authority.
Approval Process:
Submit the survey plan to the relevant land registry or local authority for approval. This involves a review of the plan to ensure it complies with land laws, regulations, and standards.
Reconciliation of Discrepancies:
If there are discrepancies or conflicts between the new survey plan and existing records, these need to be resolved. This might involve negotiations, further surveys, or legal processes to clarify and rectify any inconsistencies.
Documentation and Filing:
Once the survey plan is approved and discrepancies are resolved, it is officially recorded and filed at the land registry or relevant government office. This documentation solidifies the property boundaries and details as per the new survey.
Updating Title Records:
The updated survey information is used to amend or update the property's title records, ensuring that the new boundaries and details are reflected accurately.
Final Certification:
Upon successful approval and documentation, a final certification or endorsement might be issued by the authorities, confirming the accuracy of the new survey plan and the property's boundaries.
Completing these procedures ensures clarity and accuracy regarding the boundaries and details of the land or property, offering legal protection and preventing disputes related to ownership or boundaries.
