ALTA / NSPS

These are specific surveys designed to meet the requirements of the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). These surveys are primarily used in commercial real estate transactions, and they provide a clear and legally comprehensive picture of a property. They combine elements of boundary surveys and topographic surveys along with title searches and they are an exceptionally valuable tool for use by real estate buyers, lenders, and title insurers
