[Identification surveys]

---

These surveys are normally carried out when property is being transferred from one party to another.

An identification survey will indicate to a purchaser:-

• that they are actually buying the correct property indicated in the contract for sale

• the nature of improvements erected upon the land contained in the subject Certificate of Title

• whether there are any encroachments of fencing or buildings by the subject property onto adjoining land

• whether there are any encroachments of fencing or buildings onto the subject property by adjoining properties

• whether the subject property is affected or benefited by Easements or Restrictions

• the location of fencing and buildings to the property boundaries

An identification survey report should always be obtained by prudent purchasers.
