Property, Boundary & Title Surveys

When you think about owning property, it's easy to focus on what's on the land, but just as important is knowing exactly where that land begins and ends. Property, boundary, and title surveys are professional documents that define the legal boundaries of a parcel, including structures, fences, easements, and potential encroachments. These surveys serve as the definitive record of your land's size and shape and are often required in real estate transactions or construction projects. They involve a combination of field measurements and research into public land records, tying together what's on paper with what exists on the ground.

When You Need One and Why It Matters

There are plenty of situations where a survey becomes not just useful but absolutely necessary. If you're buying a property, a title or boundary survey ensures that the legal description in your deed matches the physical layout of the land. If you're planning to build a fence, driveway, garage, or addition, the last thing you want is to encroach on a neighbor’s property or violate a setback. A survey is also vital during property disputes, land transfers, estate planning, or subdividing a parcel. Simply put, whenever land is changing hands or being developed, a current and accurate survey is your best safeguard.

The Benefits Go Beyond the Blueprint

Having a reliable survey isn’t just about lines on a map—it’s about peace of mind. A proper survey can help avoid future disputes with neighbors, reduce legal risk, and reveal issues that might otherwise be overlooked, like shared driveways, unknown easements, or boundary overlap. If you’re financing or insuring the property, your lender or title company will often require a survey to protect their interest—and yours. Even years after you’ve settled in, a good survey can save thousands in unexpected costs or legal trouble. It’s one of those small steps that can make a big difference in the long run.

What It Costs and How It Works

The cost of a survey depends on several factors: lot size, terrain, accessibility, and how much record research is required. In the Bronx, a typical residential boundary or title survey may range from $500 to $1,200. Larger or irregularly shaped lots, or properties with limited historical data, can push that figure higher. The process starts with document research—gathering deeds, plats, and existing records—followed by a thorough site visit. Our surveyors use high-precision instruments to locate corners, measure distances, and map out relevant features. Once complete, we deliver a detailed survey map showing exact boundaries, structures, improvements, and legal notations.
