What is a surveyor?

when you need an expert surveyor

 
point You buy, sell or have a land
    Do you know the limits of your property?
property documents and cadastral survey always do not offer sufficient guarantees and are overall imprecise.
- property titles seldom guarantee the surface and the limits of the land.
- fences, hedges, banks, pathes, ditches are materially apparent limits.
- cadastral documents are administrative documents mapped out for fiscal reasons and lacking legal authenticity.
"Le cadastre, document principalement à usage fiscal, ne confère pas un droit de propriété et les énonciations qu'il procure aux usagers constituent pour eux de simples renseignements qu'il leur appartient de vérifier s'ils entendent en faire un élément essentiel de leur décision dans une transaction (Direction Générale des Impôts, 30 août 1974)" 
    The surveyor is the only professional qualified to create irrevocabilly land demarcation (the demarcation fixes the limits of the land with material marks).
" every owner can oblige his neighbour to realise the demarcation of their contiguous property (Code Civil : article 646)"
boundary marking is workable friendly, with several stages:
- contradictory meeting,
- researching limits,
- laying marks,
- drawing up statement
- detailed plan.
   marking defines legally property limits.
   do inform yourselves of duties and town planning rules.
some duties limiting possibilities of building or improving your land.
Your land is perhaps subjected to specific town planning rules.
 
point You divide a land into several plots
 You must appoint one surveyor to fix definive limits of your land.
the surveyor Will help you to choose the appropriate cutting according to the existing constraints, access road, possibility of connection to the existing drains (if building projects are planned) or of town planning rules.
 
point You are in conflict with your neighbours 
   Your neighbour creates a window with direct overview on your property,
he refuses to maintain the party wall between your properties, he disputes the establishment of a fence, he wants to heighten his house, etc. About all these questions, and a lot of others, it is sometimes quite difficult to know precisely which are your rights, nor if your neighbour exceeds his own.
   the surveyor can inform you about your rights.
 
point You sell or want to buy a batch of co-ownership
The purchaser can request from the salesman a partial restitution of the paid price when the surface area of the acquired real estate is lower of more than 5% of the declared surface area (loi du 18 décembre 1996, dite "Carrez")
   you must indicate the surface area of your real estate on the preliminary contract and on the sale contract.
   It is thus recomanded to take ths measures of your real estate, before its setting on sale, by an authorized professional who engages his responsability
