What Is an Identification (ID) Survey?
An ID Survey involves a licensed surveyor measuring and marking the boundaries of a property according to official land titles and records. Unlike a full survey plan, it focuses on identifying and confirming existing boundary lines rather than creating new subdivisions or detailed engineering data.
The surveyor will:
-
Locate and mark property corners with physical markers
-
Measure the dimensions of the property accurately
-
Compare current boundaries against land titles and council records
-
Provide a clear report and plan showing the exact limits of your land
Why Do You Need an ID Survey?
-
Avoid Boundary Disputes: Knowing your exact boundaries helps prevent disagreements with neighbours over fences, fences, or encroachments.
-
Ensure Correct Property Size: Confirm the actual size and shape of your land matches legal descriptions, especially before buying or selling.
-
Plan for Development: If you’re planning renovations, extensions, or fencing, knowing boundaries ensures your work complies with regulations.
-
Legal Protection: An ID Survey can be crucial evidence in legal matters relating to property ownership and boundaries.
-
Peace of Mind: Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or homeowner, a clear boundary definition provides confidence and clarity.
When Should You Get an ID Survey?
-
Before purchasing a new property or vacant land
-
Prior to building fences, walls, or extensions near boundaries
-
When you suspect boundary issues or disputes
-
Before subdividing or selling parts of your land
