When commercial real estate transactions move forward, certainty matters. Buyers, lenders, developers, and attorneys all need clear, reliable information about a property before final decisions are made. An ALTA NSPS Land Title Survey provides that clarity. At McNeil Engineering, these surveys are a critical part of helping clients reduce risk, confirm property details, and move projects forward with confidence.
What an ALTA NSPS Land Title Survey Is
An ALTA NSPS Land Title Survey is a comprehensive survey prepared to nationally recognized standards set by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. Unlike a basic boundary survey, this type of survey documents a wide range of property details that directly affect ownership, development, and financing.
The survey maps boundary lines, easements, rights of way, improvements, access points, encroachments, and other features that may impact title or use of the property. It serves as a shared reference for all parties involved in a transaction.
Why These Surveys Are Required
ALTA NSPS Land Title Surveys are commonly required for commercial real estate purchases, refinancing, and development projects. Lenders and title companies rely on them to identify potential risks before issuing policies or funding loans.
Without an ALTA survey, hidden issues such as unrecorded easements, boundary conflicts, or access limitations may go unnoticed until they become costly problems. This level of documentation protects buyers and lenders while helping projects move through due diligence efficiently.
How McNeil Engineering Approaches ALTA Surveys
McNeil Engineering brings technical precision and practical experience to every ALTA NSPS Land Title Survey. Our surveying team works closely with title companies, attorneys, and clients to ensure all requirements are met accurately and on schedule.
Each survey begins with a detailed review of title commitments, recorded documents, and client needs. From there, our surveyors perform fieldwork using advanced equipment to locate boundaries, structures, utilities, and site features. The final deliverable is a clear, accurate survey that supports informed decision making.
Attention to detail is critical. Even small discrepancies can have significant legal or financial implications. Our team takes the time to verify information and resolve questions early in the process.
Key Information Included in an ALTA Survey
ALTA NSPS Land Title Surveys capture information that goes far beyond property lines. Depending on the project and optional items selected, these surveys may include:
- Boundary lines and dimensions
- Easements and rights of way
- Building locations and setbacks
- Parking areas and access points
- Encroachments and overlaps
- Zoning information and flood zone data
- Utility locations and visible improvements
This level of detail gives stakeholders a complete picture of the property and how it can be used.
Supporting Development and Planning
For developers and property owners, an ALTA survey provides a strong foundation for planning. Knowing where easements exist or how close structures sit to boundaries helps avoid design conflicts and permitting delays.
Survey data is often used by engineers, architects, and planners as they design improvements or evaluate redevelopment opportunities. Accurate survey information saves time and reduces revisions later in the project lifecycle.
Reducing Risk in Real Estate Transactions
Real estate transactions carry inherent risk. An ALTA NSPS Land Title Survey helps minimize that risk by identifying potential issues early. Whether it is a shared driveway, a utility easement, or an access limitation, knowing these details upfront allows clients to address concerns before closing.
This transparency benefits everyone involved. Buyers gain confidence, lenders reduce exposure, and projects proceed with fewer surprises.
