Frequently Asked Questions

Here's a breakdown of what's involved in an ALTA/NSPS survey in Boston: Meeting Minimum Standards: The survey will be conducted following a set of strict guidelines established by ALTA and NSPS to ensure a high level of accuracy and completeness. This ensures the survey is accepted by title insurance companies. Boundary Determination: A crucial aspect of the survey is accurately defining the property boundaries. This involves reviewing property deeds, historical records, and possibly contacting neighboring landowners. Fieldwork: The surveyor will visit the property to collect measurements and data using advanced tools like GPS. They will also assess visible property features and encroachments. Title Research: In some cases, the surveyor may need to conduct title research to identify any potential issues with the property title, such as easements or encroachments. Preparing the Final Report: The surveyor will compile all the data collected into a detailed report with a map of the property. The report will include information about the property boundaries, easements, encroachments, and other relevant details.

What Makes Boston, Massachusetts ALTA/NSPS Surveys Different

ALTA/NSPS (American Land Title Association/National Society of Professional Surveyors) Surveys in Boston, Massachusetts are unique due to several factors:

Historic Properties: Boston has a large number of historic properties, which can add complexity to ALTA surveys due to additional research and considerations needed for accurate boundary determination.

Zoning and Permitting: Local zoning regulations and permitting processes in Boston can be intricate, and an ALTA surveyor familiar with these nuances can ensure the survey meets all requirements.

Underground Utilities: The city’s infrastructure includes a network of underground utilities, which require careful identification and marking during the survey process.

Environmental Concerns: Like many urban areas, Boston faces environmental challenges such as potential contamination from previous land use or proximity to bodies of water. ALTA/NSPS surveys in Boston may include assessments of environmental risks and compliance with relevant regulations such as the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) for hazardous waste cleanup.

Coastal Considerations: Boston’s location along the coast means that properties may be subject to additional regulations and considerations related to coastal erosion, flood zones, and waterfront development restrictions. ALTA/NSPS surveys may need to include information on these coastal factors to provide a complete picture of the property’s characteristics.
