An ALTA/NSPS land title survey is a specialized survey that meets the specific needs peculiar to title insurance purposes, to enable title insurance companies to insure title to land without exceptions as to survey matters. Often prepared for commercial properties, the ALTA/NSPS survey is the most comprehensive type of survey. It covers all aspects of the boundary survey and improvement location, and identification of any additional evidence of possession or use which could be adverse to the interests of the purchaser. Also, they show features such as utilities, flood zones, land area, building square footage, easements and building lines, parking spaces, signs, lights and more.

The purpose of a boundary survey is to establish or retrace the boundary lines and corners of the surveyed property, and to define and identify those lines so as to uniquely locate each lot, parcel or other specific land area in relation to well recognized and established points of reference, adjoining properties, and rights of way. Whether it is residential or commercial property, whether you are buying or selling, or adding to your existing house, building a new garage, fence, patio, driveway, or if you are experiencing encroachment issues, you will need a boundary survey. We will perform field survey, which will include locating or resetting property corners according to your deed. All improvements on the property will be located and in case of the presence of any encroachment onto or from the subject property, such encroachment will be shown on the plat. As a final product, we will prepare PDF copies with detailed and easy to read Plat of Survey. This type of survey will comply with the Minimum Standards for Boundary Survey for the State of Illinois.
