What to check before hiring in South Stormont
- Commission: in Ontario, legal surveys must be signed by a land surveyor commissioned by the provincial association. Ask for the commission number and check it with the association.
- Records: your surveyor starts from the land registry (land titles) records and previous plans of your parcel. Having your deed or title search at hand speeds up the quote.
- Price drivers: lot size and shape, terrain and tree cover, how easy the original survey monuments are to find, and whether you need corners marked or a registered plan.
- Selling or refinancing: ask whether your lawyer or lender expects a Real Property Report and how recent it must be.
