Let’s Take a Closer Look at the Role of a Land Surveyor When Subdividing Property

August 4, 2023Kim Hesse

When embarking on the journey of subdividing property, many homeowners and developers might be tempted to skip the step of hiring a land surveyor to cut costs or save time. However, enlisting the services of a qualified land surveyor is a decision that can ultimately make or break the entire process. Here’s why having a land surveyor is crucial when subdividing your land.

Accurate Measurements: A land surveyor will provide precise measurements of the property boundaries, ensuring that the division is done according to local regulations and avoids encroachments or disputes with neighbouring properties.

Compliance with Regulations: Subdividing land involves navigating a maze of zoning laws, local regulations, and subdivision ordinances. A land surveyor is well-versed in these legal requirements and will help ensure your project complies with all necessary permits and approvals.

Boundary Disputes: A land surveyor’s expertise can help resolve any existing boundary disputes before they escalate, preventing costly legal battles in the future.

Maximizing Land Potential: With their knowledge of the landscape and topography, surveyors can assist in optimizing the layout of the new parcels, ensuring each piece is viable for its intended purpose.

Financial Security: Accurate surveys provide confidence to potential buyers or investors, increasing the overall value and marketability of the subdivided properties.

Peace of Mind: Knowing that your subdivision is done correctly and legally will give you peace of mind, avoiding future headaches that may arise from errors or oversights.

A land surveyor is an indispensable partner when subdividing property. Their expertise and attention to detail can streamline the process, avoid legal issues, and ensure a successful and profitable outcome for your subdivision project. Investing in a land surveyor is a small price to pay for the long-term benefits and security it brings to your real estate endeavours.
