Accurate identification surveys to define your property boundaries. Elevation Survey provides precise results for informed decisions.
An identification survey is a crucial step in understanding the exact boundaries and physical features of your property. Whether you’re buying, selling, building, or resolving a dispute, having a clear and accurate representation of your property’s layout is essential. Elevation Survey specialise in delivering precise and reliable identification surveys across Northern NSW, ensuring that our clients can move forward with confidence in their property dealings.
An identification survey, often called an ID survey or surveyor's report, shows where the buildings and other improvements on your land sit in relation to the title boundaries, and notes any encroachments or easements that affect the property. In NSW it must be prepared by a registered land surveyor.
Identification surveys typically include a comprehensive review of the property’s boundaries, physical features, any existing encroachments, and easements. The final deliverables usually consist of a detailed report, a scaled drawing of the property showing the boundaries and dimensions, and a written description outlining the key features and any issues that may affect the property.
When you’re involved in the process of buying or selling a property, clarity about the boundaries is vital. An identification survey can provide this clarity, ensuring that both parties have a clear understanding of what’s included in the sale. For home buyers, it offers peace of mind by confirming that the property lines match the details in the contract. For sellers, it helps avoid disputes and potential legal issues down the line.
Before building, an identification survey confirms where existing structures sit relative to the boundaries, so new work can be designed and positioned with confidence. If you also need the boundary marked on the ground, we can add boundary marking to the same job.
An identification survey gives a clear, independent record of where improvements sit in relation to the title boundaries, which is useful when buying, selling or dealing with questions about encroachments.
Your journey with Elevation Survey begins with an initial consultation, where we discuss your specific needs and concerns. This is an essential step to ensure that we fully understand your objectives, whether you’re dealing with a property transaction, a construction project, or a boundary dispute. During this consultation, we’ll explain the survey process, answer any questions you may have, and outline what you can expect in terms of timelines and deliverables.
One of our registered land surveyors visits the property, searches for existing survey marks such as pegs and pins, and measures the boundaries, buildings, fences and other improvements. Any encroachments, and easements that affect the property, are recorded.
After the on-site work is complete, our surveyor will analyse the collected data and prepare a comprehensive identification report. This report will include a scaled drawing of your property, showing the exact boundaries and any relevant features, as well as a written description that outlines the key details. This document serves as a clear, legally recognised record of your property’s boundaries, which can be used for a variety of purposes, including property transactions, construction planning, and legal disputes.
Identification surveys are prepared and signed by our registered land surveyors. Formerly Kennedy Surveying, our practice has more than 35 years of local knowledge across Northern NSW councils.
At Elevation Survey, accuracy is critical. We know that even minor errors in a survey can lead to significant issues, so we use advanced tools and methods to ensure precise results. We also prioritise clear communication with our clients, keeping you updated from the initial consultation through to the final report.
We understand that each council in Northern NSW may have different requirements and terminology associated with identification surveys. We tailor our services to meet these specific local needs, ensuring that your survey is compliant with all relevant regulations and that you receive a report that meets the highest standards of quality and accuracy.
Identification surveys provide legal protection, peace of mind, and clarity in understanding your property’s exact boundaries. Whether you’re buying, selling, building, or resolving a dispute, knowing your property lines can save you from potential legal issues and financial loss.
Most identification surveys are delivered within 10 working days of the site visit. Properties with complex survey records can take longer, and we'll confirm timing when we quote.
