ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys are highly detailed land surveys that are essential in real estate transactions, particularly for commercial properties. These surveys are conducted following standards established by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). They provide a comprehensive view of a property’s boundary lines, improvements, easements, rights-of-way, and other elements impacting ownership and title insurance. These surveys are valuable tools for property buyers, lenders, insurers, and others involved in real estate transactions, as they reveal any potential issues.
The main purpose of an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is to provide an accurate, clear, and complete representation of the physical and legal characteristics of a piece of land. This type of survey goes beyond a simple boundary survey, addressing specific requirements that give insight into any restrictions, encumbrances, or improvements on the property that could affect its use or value. It is critical for real estate purchases, as it helps ensure that the buyer and lender have a clear understanding of the property and any legal risks before the transaction is finalized.
Gooch & Associates is equipped to handle ALTA/NSPS land title surveys with the expertise and precision needed for these detailed projects. To prepare a comprehensive proposal for an ALTA/NSPS land title survey, we require a current title commitment and a list of any requested Table A items. The title commitment provides essential information about the property, while the Table A items allow us to customize the survey to address specific client needs, such as zoning classifications, topography, or utilities.
