What is a Surveyor’s Real Property Report?

A Surveyor’s Real Property is a legal document that clearly illustrates the location of all visible public and private improvements relative to property boundaries. It generally takes the form of a plan or illustration of the various physical features of the property along with a written report highlighting the surveyor’s opinion of any concerns.

In a Real Estate transaction the Surveyor’s Real Property Report can be relied upon by the purchaser, seller, lending institution, municipality, realtor, and all other parties to the transaction as an accurate representation of the property.

For development and renovation purposes a Surveyor's Real Property Report is a useful document when for applying for various permits as it contains not only a visual aid but includes information the various municipalities require such as lot coverage, frontage, etc. It can also assist your contractor and architect in designing and placing your new home or cottage.
