What is involved in a Surveyor's Real Property Report?
For your protection, a trained and licensed Ontario
Land Surveyor is the only individual who can legally prepare a Surveyor's Real Property Report.
A valid Surveyor's Real Property Report must bear the original signature and
embossed seal of the Ontario Land Surveyor preparing the report. In all cases
the Ontario Land Surveyor will undertake the following tasks in the preparation
of the Surveyor's Real Property Report:
Title and History Research
a search of title of the subject and abutting
properties
a search of all pertinent encumbrances
registered against the title of the subject property
a search of other surveyor's offices to obtain
all plans relating to location of boundaries of the subject property
Field Surveys
a field survey to determine the actual
dimensions of the property, the location of improvements and the setting
of corner markers
an analysis of research and field data
Plan Preparation the preparation of the plan illustrating the results of the field survey
and the title search
Written Report the preparation of a written report providing the surveyor's opinion
about any contentious issues that may have been found during the survey
