An ALTA/NSPS survey is a detailed survey which, in addition to the Illinois Minimum Standards for Boundary Surveys, adheres to the jointly adopted standards set for by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). These surveys are typically ordered during the due diligence phase of a commercial real estate transaction and can serve several different purposes including satisfying lender requirements, assisting with due diligence, providing clarification of the items listed as standard exceptions to the title insurance policy, removing the standard survey exception from the title policy, and providing sufficient detail to assist with planning and design of proposed improvements to the property. The level of detail provided on an ALTA/NSPS survey is highly dependent upon its anticipated use. It is highly recommended that you contact us early or in the purchase process so that we can understand your needs and provide you with a detailed proposal which will include the cost and timeframe of the project.
