What is an Identification Survey?

Understanding the Basics

An identification survey, often referred to as an ID survey or identification report, is a detailed analysis conducted by a licensed surveyor to identify and document the physical boundaries and features of a property. Unlike other types of surveys, which might focus on specific aspects like topography or environmental factors, an identification survey is specifically concerned with defining and confirming property boundaries.

What Does an Identification Survey Include?

Identification surveys typically include a comprehensive review of the property’s boundaries, physical features, any existing encroachments, and easements. The final deliverables usually consist of a detailed report, a scaled drawing of the property showing the boundaries and dimensions, and a written description outlining the key features and any issues that may affect the property.

Why You Need An Identification Survey

Supporting Property Transactions

When you’re involved in the process of buying or selling a property, clarity about the boundaries is vital. An identification survey can provide this clarity, ensuring that both parties have a clear understanding of what’s included in the sale. For home buyers, it offers peace of mind by confirming that the property lines match the details in the contract. For sellers, it helps avoid disputes and potential legal issues down the line.

Construction Projects

Before breaking ground on any construction project, it’s critical to confirm the exact boundaries of the property. Identification surveys help avoid costly mistakes and disputes by clearly marking the property lines. This ensures that all construction stays within legal boundaries and helps prevent future conflicts with neighbours.

Resolving Boundary Disputes

Boundary disputes can be stressful and legally complex. An identification survey provides a clear, legally recognised outline of your property’s boundaries, which can be instrumental in resolving or preventing disputes with neighbours. Having an accurate and detailed boundary description can also serve as valuable evidence in court, should the need arise.

The Identification Survey Process

1

Initial Consultation

Your journey with Elevation Survey begins with an initial consultation, where we discuss your specific needs and concerns. This is an essential step to ensure that we fully understand your objectives, whether you’re dealing with a property transaction, a construction project, or a boundary dispute. During this consultation, we’ll explain the survey process, answer any questions you may have, and outline what you can expect in terms of timelines and deliverables.

2

On-Site Survey

Next, one of our licensed surveyors will visit your property to conduct the on-site survey. This involves using advanced tools and techniques to accurately measure and mark the property’s boundaries. Our surveyor will search for existing markers, such as iron pins or monuments, and take precise measurements to establish the property lines. They’ll also identify and document any encroachments, easements, or other features that may affect the property’s boundaries.

3

Data Analysis and Report Preparation

After the on-site work is complete, our surveyor will analyse the collected data and prepare a comprehensive identification report. This report will include a scaled drawing of your property, showing the exact boundaries and any relevant features, as well as a written description that outlines the key details. This document serves as a clear, legally recognised record of your property’s boundaries, which can be used for a variety of purposes, including property transactions, construction planning, and legal disputes.
