What is a Commercial Land Title Survey?
A Commercial Land Title Survey, often referred to as an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey, is a comprehensive survey used in the United States for commercial property transactions. This type of survey is designed to provide detailed information about the boundaries, structures, and significant features of a piece of commercial real estate. It's typically required by title companies, lenders, and attorneys during the sale, development, or refinancing of commercial properties.
Key aspects of a Commercial Land Title Survey include:
- Boundary Lines and Legal Description: It determines the precise boundaries of the property based on the legal description and identifies any discrepancies between the recorded boundaries and current use.
- Easements and Rights-of-Way: The survey identifies any easements (rights for others to use the property for specific purposes, like utilities or access) and rights-of-way that may affect the property.
- Improvements and Structures: This includes buildings, roads, fences, and other structures on the property, along with their locations relative to the property boundaries.
- Utilities and Other Features: Locations of utility lines (both above and below ground) and other significant features like streams, ponds, trees, and driveways.
- Zoning Classification and Restrictions: Information about zoning laws, building restrictions, and other regulations that might affect how the property can be used.
- Encroachments: Identifying if any structures or improvements on the property encroach onto adjoining properties or vice versa.
- Access and Legal Access Rights: Details about access to public roads or rights-of-way, ensuring the property has legal access.
The ALTA (American Land Title Association) and NSPS (National Society of Professional Surveyors) set the standards for these surveys. They are designed to meet the specific needs of lenders, corporations, and title companies in the complex realm of commercial real estate transactions. By providing a detailed and accurate representation of the property, these surveys help in mitigating risks associated with property transactions.
