ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys in San Antonio

What is an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is the gold standard for due diligence in commercial real estate. It's a comprehensive survey that provides a detailed picture of a property, going far beyond a simple boundary line measurement.

These complex surveys adhere to the rigorous standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) . The final plat map provides all parties in a transaction with critical information about property boundaries, easements, rights-of-way, visible encroachments, and other significant site features to ensure a clean and insurable title.

Who Needs an ALTA Survey and Why?

While essential for title companies, ALTA surveys are a critical tool for any party involved in a high-value real estate transaction to mitigate investment risk.

• Lenders & Financial Institutions: Require an ALTA survey to protect their investment and ensure the property is a viable asset, free of costly surprises.
• Attorneys & Real Estate Investors: Use the survey during the due diligence phase to identify any potential issues—like encroachments or unrecorded easements—that could impact the property's value or intended use.
• Commercial Buyers & Sellers: Rely on the survey to provide a certified, accurate representation of the property, ensuring a smooth and transparent closing process.
