What is an Identification Survey & Report?
An Identification Survey provides a detailed assessment of a property’s structures and boundaries, including:
The location of buildings, fences & structures
Easements and legal restrictions
Encroachments onto neighbouring properties
This report is prepared and signed by a Registered Surveyor, ensuring accuracy and legal compliance.
If you’re looking to capture roof and floor levels, a final survey would be a better fit for you. Learn more about final surveys here.
