ALTA/NSPS LAND TITLE SURVEYS

WHY USE A LAND SERVICE COORDINATOR?

Hiring a land service coordinator provides a one-stop solution for your land services, zoning, and environmental concerns. Instead of navigating the challenge of finding land service professionals in various states or cities, we manage that process for you. Our coordinators function similarly to a National Business Unit within a Title Company, leveraging a trusted network of land service firms across regions to ensure your project is completed on time and within budget.

WHY DO YOU NEED AN ALTA/NSPS LAND SURVEY?

An ALTA/NSPS land survey is essential for meeting lender requirements during the purchase or refinancing of commercial real estate. Most lenders require a title search and an ALTA survey to assess the property’s potential risks and benefits.

The ALTA survey follows nationally approved standards, developed by the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) and the American Land Title Association (ALTA). It provides a comprehensive record that includes:

  • Property boundaries

  • Easements and encumbrances

  • Zoning classifications

  • Flood zone classifications

  • Access points

Unlike basic boundary surveys, ALTA surveys deliver the level of detail needed to thoroughly evaluate commercial properties for both buyers and lenders.

WHAT IS AN ALTA/NSPS LAND SURVEY?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey (formerly ALTA/ACSM) is a critical tool for commercial real estate transactions. Originally developed to help title insurers remove survey exceptions from title policies, it has evolved into a robust resource offering detailed insights into a property’s current and future use.

This survey benefits all parties involved in a commercial real estate deal, adhering to higher standards of accuracy and precision. It provides clarity on potential adverse rights, property improvements, and other details that could influence ownership or usage.

Key Benefits of an ALTA/NSPS Land Survey

  • Identifies restrictions or encumbrances affecting property use.

  • Reveals details about improvements and potential risks.

  • Ensures compliance with national standards, offering reliability for buyers and lenders.
