A property survey is a document that shows the legal boundaries and measurements of a property. It specifies the location of any buildings and indicates whether anyone else has the right to cross over your land for a specific purpose. This survey ensures accurate property descriptions and helps prevent disputes by clearly defining property lines and any easements.
