Smith-Roberts - The Nation's Leading Land Surveyor Offers ALTA Land Title Surveying Services

Online, February 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Smith-Roberts National Corp - a Nationwide ALTA Land Coordinator and Surveyor has been offering professional land surveying services to lenders and title insurance companies. An ALTA Survey is a comprehensive boundary survey in which various issues are addressed that are of concern to lenders and title companies.
There are a number of items required to be shown on an ALTA survey that are not shown on a typical boundary survey as well as some additional optional items ("Table A Items").

Some of the information shown on an ALTA Survey are
# Easements that may encumber or benefit the property
# Possible encroachments across boundary lines or easements
# Access to a public street or lack thereof
# Zoning of the property along with setback requirements
# Flood Zones that may affect the subject property
# Evidence of any use by other parties
# Location of any water boundaries on the subject property
# Evidence of cemeteries
# Names of adjoining property owners

The ALTA Survey standard establishes a framework of rules for surveying projects throughout the United States. The ALTA Land Survey helps the owner or lender know what they will be getting from the surveyor in the field.

National lenders, prior to making a substantial loan on a commercial property (community, apartments, shopping complex, restaurant, mall, etc.), partner with us for their land survey and zoning needs.

To ensure superior service to clients, Smith Roberts has proactively created a ALTA survey checklist for our clients available for download reference:
