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.



Selling? Provide buyers with boundary clarity.



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.

Skipping this crucial step can lead to costly disputes, legal issues, and council rejections. With C&A Surveyors, you’ll get an accurate, compliant report – fast.
