Before buying a property, contact a Newcastle Residential Surveyor first
Before buying a property, a complete land survey is valuable for property owners. This is a protection for the owner’s investment, whether it’s a small piece of land or a large subdivision. Surveys are also needed if one is securing a mortgage or a loan for the development. Land surveys from a Newcastle residential surveyor such as Geosurv, are imperative for property buyers to avoid future legal disputes.
To determine the elevations or contour of your property, you need a detail or contour survey. This survey records all features, natural or man-made, such as boundaries, buildings, and vegetation within and next to your land. This survey is done by a Newcastle residential surveyor and is required before you can start on the design of your property.
Along with the contract of sale, you need to secure a building certificate. And to secure a building certificate, an identification survey is needed. A registered Newcastle residential surveyor conducts this type of survey to ensure that the property is clearly defined and has accurately established land boundaries. Apart from an identification survey, it is also important to hire a Newcastle residential surveyor to physically mark the corners of the property through a peg-out survey.
Flood is a natural peril in Australia, and if you plan to build in low-lying land, a flood survey is mandatory. Local authorities will only issue building approvals if the proposed floor level meets certain criteria based on flood level risks. A skilled Newcastle residential surveyor can analyse the topography of your property and assess the level of risks.
With such an exciting future ahead, Newcastle has so much to offer with more affordable options for property buyers. With that said, it is best to hire a Newcastle residential surveyor first before making any purchase to ensure that your property will indeed become a good long-term investment.
