3 reasons to make a land survey: a comment from experts of the cadastral chamber

According to the law in force now, land surveying is carried out at will and is not considered mandatory for the copyright holder. This is a voluntary procedure that helps to avoid future problems with the object. If the USRN does not contain up-to-date information about its borders, this is not a violation. In practice, however, it turns out that unsettled boundaries are grounds for conflicts. And also the owner runs the risk of losing part of his territory. For example, if they will expand the adjacent area. Experts from the Federal Cadastral Chamber named three reasons to conduct a land survey.

1. Section of a parcel of land

Land surveying opens up the possibility of dividing the site. The procedure will be needed for an inheritance, an act of donation or even the sale of a part of the territory. When new sections are formed during the division, the original is removed from the cadastral register (such a section ceases to "exist"). If information on the exact boundaries of the original site is not presented in the USRN, then the owner of the object will need to conduct a land survey. The section is possible only after this procedure.

2. Conflict with a neighbor

Land disputes with the right holders of neighboring plots are likely. When surveying, the boundaries are coordinated with the owners of adjacent lands. After that, the cadastral engineer must draw up a special act of coordinating the boundaries - an obligatory component of the land survey plan. On its basis, as well as on the basis of a statement from the copyright holder (or on behalf of his legal representative), conduct a cadastral registration of changes in information in the USRN about the boundaries of the site and, when necessity - area. Determination of coordinates subsequently helps the copyright holder to prevent encroachments on the land. It happens when a neighbor tries to expand his property by adding a part of the adjoining plot without land surveying.

3. Profitable sale

When choosing a site, a potential buyer takes into account the presence of a land survey. Parcels with no boundaries are usually cheaper, but the deal is perceived as less transparent. Indeed, there is a risk of overpayment, for example. If a person orders an extract from the USRN, he will see that the boundaries have not been established. This means: the actual area of ​​the land plot may be less than that specified in the contract. More likely to buy land with precise boundaries. Therefore, it is in the interests of the owner to determine them before putting the object up for sale.

How to land a site?

For the procedure for land surveying, you need to contact a cadastral engineer (with a license and an up-to-date qualification certificate). In the Rosreestr database, you can check a specialist. He will establish the location of the borders and the area, formally agree on the borders with the owners of the neighboring territories and draw up a boundary plan. This document and a statement from the owner for cadastral registration are transferred to the MFC. Entering information into the USRN is carried out without state duty.

Today, about 60% of sites have established boundaries. However, there are more than 24 million plots where land surveying has not been carried out. And Rosreestr warns that such territories may be mistakenly perceived as unoccupied - for example, construction of federal facilities may begin on this land.
