La Land Surveying

11/18/2007 1:23 PM

To any land surveyor. I am in the process of purchasing a piece of land. The problem that I am looking at ,the survey marks not in agreement with tax deeds on my property and the neighbors property. My deed and the neighbors are both in feet. On one corner of my property, the marker can not be found. On the neighbors far corner of her property it is there in cased in concerte. The marker is a one inch solid steel rod. Eighteen inches long. In order to get my missing corner, should I be able to just measure the frontage on her property, and get my corner marker? Her frontage is 82.5'. The backside of her property is the same as the front, 82.5'.The preliminary survey marks are seven feet off of said measurement. Would this be an accurate way in which to set boundaries for my property? She has spoken with me and fully agrees that where the measurement that I have measured, and what the deeds say are in agreement with each other. I have spoken with the surveyor who I have hired for the survey. He has two men working for him. He says that could be the actual boundary or it just could be the corners. So the survey is still inconclusive. If the property marks stay where they presently are, could the neighbor and my self mutually resettle the property marks that on are each others deeds before a lawyer to set this matter straight? Thanks for your consideration on this matter.

DON'T INVOLVE A LAWYER!!!

If you and your neighbour (and the surveyor ideally) can agree the boundary so that it matches with the deeds. (eg Measure the missing point as two distances from two other points, or one distance and an angle)

Then put in a marker, build a fence or whatever and then all go out for a nice meal with money you save by not involving a lawyer.

The deeds are what matters, unless the existing boundary has been there a long time and is disputed for some reason.

Do it quick before someone changes their mind!

This is just my opinion...based on experience in UK... terms and conditions apply,

( I'll have the soup as a starter, Sea Bream main, and a creme brullee for desert. )

THANKS FOR REPLYING DEL. I WENT FOR A VISIT TO THE SURVEYOR AFTER I POSTED MY SITUATION. HE WAS SUPRISED IN A GOOD WAY AT WHAT INFORMATION I HAD ON HAND. HE SAID AND DID HAVE IT RE SURVEYED. MY CALCULATIONS WERE ON THE MONEY. THEY RESET THE MARKERS WHERE THE MEASUREMENTS ON THE DEEDS WERE AND THEN MADE THE PLAT. HE THEN CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW OF THE CHANGES. WE WERE BOTH PLEASED AT THE END. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE REPLY. I SURE DID NOT WANT TO INVOLVE A LAWYER. AS IT WAS I HAD ALL THE PROOF IN MY HANDS. THANKS AGAIN, DOUG
