Introduction to Documents Verification Survey
A documents verification survey is a crucial land-related process that ensures the information mentioned in legal property documents accurately reflects the physical conditions of the land on-site. It involves checking whether the boundary, extent, and position of the land described in documents such as patta, chitta, sale deed, and field measurement sketch (FMB) match what is present on the ground. This type of survey is especially important when dealing with older properties, agricultural land, inherited land, or plots that haven’t been measured or verified in many years.
Purpose of Documents Verification Survey
The primary purpose of a documents verification survey is to detect and resolve any discrepancies between what is written in land records and what exists physically on-site. These discrepancies can include mismatched boundaries, incorrect land area, or unrecorded encroachments. This survey helps landowners, buyers, and legal authorities confirm that the ownership, size, and location of the land are accurate and verifiable. It reduces legal risks and prevents future disputes, especially during land registration, property resale, or while applying for building approvals.
Instruments Used in the Survey
To perform a documents verification survey accurately, we use a combination of traditional and modern surveying instruments:
- Total Station: Measures angles and distances with high precision.
- GPS/GNSS Receivers: Determine the exact location and coordinates of the site.
- Auto Level: Used to verify any elevation differences if the site has slope or uneven ground.
- Measuring Tapes and Ranging Rods: Used for corner point checking and ground marking.
These instruments allow us to compare the actual land dimensions with the legal descriptions and sketches.
Benefits of Documents Verification Survey
A documents verification survey offers multiple long-term benefits. It gives landowners the assurance that their property is properly defined and free from undocumented issues. For buyers, it helps confirm that the land they intend to purchase is genuine, clear in records, and legally safe. It also supports loan approval processes, planning permission applications, and resale efforts.
Moreover, if any discrepancy is found, the survey report serves as solid evidence to update land records with the revenue department or resolve disputes through legal channels. Overall, it adds transparency, protects investment, and builds trust among all stakeholders involved in a land deal.
Common Issues Identified During Documents Verification Survey
During a documents verification survey, our team often uncovers a range of issues that clients may not be aware of. These can include incorrect survey numbers, discrepancies in land extent, encroachments by neighboring properties, and missing or shifted boundary stones. In some cases, the physical layout of the land may not match the field measurement sketch (FMB) at all. Identifying such problems early helps prevent legal complications, delays in registration, and project setbacks. Through our detailed reporting, we help clients take the necessary corrective steps with confidence.
