Importance of RPR in Alberta Canada Real Estate Transaction

It is very important to have an updated property survey done to ensure success for any real estate purchase venture in Alberta, Canada. Not getting this done can, on the other hand, lead to creation of lot of problems. There have been a number of instances through which this has been exemplified. All this calls for making it a point to opt for the services of a competent land surveyor while making any property transaction.

Important role of land surveyor

A property has boundaries and it is the work of a surveyor to ascertain the boundaries of a real estate- locating and measuring them and determining the locations of improvements in relation to the boundaries. Knowledge of the actual boundaries of any property purchased is of utmost importance for the buyer. It is also equally important to know about the location of buildings and other improvements on the property. A crucial point is that the buyer needs to be aware of the real estate’s compliance with local bylaws regarding land usage.

Significance of the Real Property Report

The Real Property Report (RPR) is a survey plan with related information prepared by a professional land surveyor. This contains a diagram that clearly shows all boundaries, building locations, easements, utility right-of-ways and encroachments on or from other properties relative to the property boundaries.

The completed RPR is to be submitted to the municipal authority for verification of compliance with local land use bylaw requirements. In case the RPR does not meet the land use bylaws then measures should be undertaken to fix the problems prior to sale of the property.

So, it is sensible to get the Real Property Report prepared and submitted to the municipal authority. After all, the cost of having the RPR prepared by the professional land surveyor is very small in comparison to the value of a real estate transaction. Not only does this go a long way to save on a lot of extra cost (that may need to be incurred if things go wrong) but it also does away with the worries and frustrations that accompany the extra costs upon things turning up wrong.

Selecting only Alberta Land Surveyor for RPR preparation

Only an Alberta Land Surveyor- a member of the Alberta Land Surveyors’ Association is legally entitled to determine boundaries of real estate property in Alberta. This is to be borne in mind importantly while choosing the land surveyor for your real estate in Alberta.
