What is an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey?

The American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) have created a stringent, uniform standard for commercial and high-value residential property surveys.

• An ALTA Survey is a detailed boundary survey that meets specific certification requirements for title insurance companies.
• It is typically required for commercial real estate transactions, financing, or refinances to confirm property boundaries and identify all improvements, easements, and exceptions affecting the land.

Why it matters to you in Catawba, NC: When a lender or title insurer needs absolute assurance regarding property boundaries and potential liabilities, an ALTA Survey is the only acceptable standard.

When Do You Need an ALTA Survey in the Catawba Area?

ALTA Surveys are not standard boundary surveys; they are comprehensive, risk-reducing documents necessary for high-stakes transactions. You typically need one if you are involved in:

• Commercial Property Acquisition: Purchasing an office building, retail center, or industrial complex in the Catawba, NC, area.
• Property Refinancing: Securing a new loan or line of credit where the lender requires specific title coverage.
• Complex Easements: When existing easements (access rights, utilities) need to be accurately mapped and certified.
• Title Insurance Requirements: When your title insurer requires the survey to remove exceptions from the title policy.
