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.

Why Do You Need an Identification Survey?



Buying a property? Ensure you’re not inheriting legal boundary issues.



Illegal works detected? Councils often require this survey when applying for a Building Information Certificate.



Planning to renovate or build? Avoid encroachments and disputes before construction begins.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used C&A Surveyors for the first timer and they were super efficient. The cost was comparable to other surveyors, but they were much quicker to get the job done. I would definitely recommend them to future customers and use them again myself.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with C & A Surveyors was pleasant, professional and efficient. Sam Anjoul helped me all the way as I was an owner builder and had very little knowledge of construction. They are the cheapest in the market but the service is really very good! Highly recommended! Thanks so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As Landscape Designers, we need to know we are referring good people. C&A are great communicators - text message stating a fee proposal is on the way and then that the surveyor is on their way to site. The surveys are reasonably priced and as the end users - we know that they are well drafted and easy to use. Highly recommended!
