As a property owner, it is crucial to have a clear understanding the property boundaries. It is important to note that the positioning of current fences on the property may not be entirely precise with respect to the actual property boundaries.

Boundary disputes can be expensive and exasperating to settle. To prevent such occurrences, it is important to identify the precise location of property lines. Having the boundaries physically marked on the ground can eliminate any ambiguity and offer reassurance, helping you avoid the possibility of an expensive boundary dispute in the future.

We, Action surveys Inc., can stake out property boundaries so you know exactly where your property lines are.

Why hire an Alberta Land Surveyor to stake out property boundaries is important?

An Alberta land Surveyor is the expert in locating and to marking property boundaries. This service can eliminate any uncertainty and prevent the inconvenience associated with relocating fences or any other structural improvements as a result of boundary disputes.

Experience is a source of enlightenment that can encourage us to abandon our previous mistakes and make better decisions in the future. The following example may help to illustrate this concept more clearly.

In this scenario, a homeowner hired a general contractor to build fences around their property. Instead of consulting a professional Alberta Land Surveyor to properly mark out the property boundaries, the contractor attempted to locate the boundary pins by on his own. The homeowner subsequently assumed that the fences were built along property boundaries and constructed a shed and a greenhouse adjacent to the fence. When the property was being sold, a Real Property Report was created, and during the process, the owner discovered that the fence, as well as the shed and greenhouse, were partially on the neighbour’s property.

There are several potential reasons for uncertain outcomes when a contractor attempts to locate property corners, such as the contractor’s lack of knowledge or experience in locating the pins that mark the property corners, or the possibility that the pins have been disturbed or destroyed. Additionally, the pin may be offset from the property lines depicted on the registered legal survey plan by a certain distance. In the end, the process of reconstructing the fences and moving the structural improvements turned out to be expensive. By hiring an Alberta Land Surveyor to mark the boundaries, the issue could have resolved from the start.
