Surveys are an integral part of commercial lots and their transactions. Not all surveys are equal and there are a few common types of surveys that we offer that lend themselves to commercial lots. Among the leading types of commercial surveys includes as-built surveys, boundary or land surveying, and ALTA surveys. Ultimately, the type of survey one might need depends on the type of transaction for the commercial lot. Here is more on the types of commercial lot surveys.
Many require a foundation as-built survey to show the relationship of a new building to the plans and land. However, an as-built survey does not typically include information on title or boundary issues.
A property-boundary survey is designed to located and identify boundary lines between privately held parts of land. However, they do not often include any improvements to structures that have been built on the land.
An ALTA survey is generally the most comprehensive of these surveys when it comes to using them for commercial lots. An ALTA survey shows property boundaries, improvement information, like height, size, setbacks, etc., and recorded title items like access and easements.
A survey is crucial to commercial lot transactions, as it reveals matters not covered by title insurance. For example, title insurance does not disclose the location of utilities, improvements, the relationship of record lines to occupied liens, the relationship between adjacent landowners, and other non-recorded matters that may impact the land in question. However, a good ALTA survey done by professionals, like the surveying team at Arek, shows these crucial items. But without this survey, a buyer does not have an accurate picture of what the legal description of land being purchased looks like on the ground. Photos do not contain the same information that a survey does, which is why it is important to get this done by professionals. These matters are important to the purchase of a commercial lot.
Utilizing a survey confirms basic and material information about a given property and commercial lot, its location, and existence. A good survey depicts discrepancies between the actual use of the land and the recorded legal description. It also shows the relationship of the property to any adjoining properties, as well as the location of physical improvements on the property in relation to the boundaries. Not just for buildings on commercial lots, but also landscaping, parking, utilities, etc.
A good survey is also important because it may also give the buyer information on whether or not the property is in violation of any zoning ordinances. And it can confirm the property's size, setbacks, and the improvements' heights and sizes. Surveys also show recorded easements, access, parking, encroachments, and the location of any utilities. At Arek, we can also illustrate if the property is located within a flood plain or other flood hazard area with a flood elevation certificate.
When buying a piece commercial property or a commercial lot, all of this information is highly relevant to the sale price. Only with a professional survey can all of this information be precisely recorded, displayed, and carefully considered in the course of the buyer’s due diligence.
