FAQschevron down

If I am building on a boundary do I need to get a survey done?

Most councils will require you to have a survey done in these circumstances as a condition of building approval. However, it is recommended that this is done in all instances to avoid the possibility of building onto your neighbour's land and cause the building to encroach over the boundary. The remedies to encroachments can be expensive and complicated. They can also cause much ill-feeling between neighbours.


My neighbour wants to put up a new fence and says that the current fence is in the wrong place. What should I do?

The Fences Act sets out the legal protocol that neighbours should adopt in the cases of erecting new fences. It does not set out the protocol for having a boundary survey done. However, these costs can be mutually agreed to between neighbours' along with the fence costs. A survey would avoid future boundary disputes and give you "peace of mind". It is also wise to note that the local council will not enter into neighbours' boundary disputes.


Where are you located?

We are located at 176 Prospect Rd, Prospect SA 5082.


Which areas you service?

We service Adelaide and the surrounding suburbs and most of regional SA including the Mid North, Clare Valley, Yorke Peninsula, Eyre Peninsula, Barossa, Riverland, Adelaide Hills and the Fleurieu Peninsula.


I am buying a property and I am concerned about any problem with the title boundaries. What should I do?

We would recommend that the cost of a survey represents a very small percentage of the investment you are about to make. It would be wise to have a survey done before you sign any contract to determine if, in fact, any problems do exist. You could also sign a contract subject to satisfactory outcome of a boundary survey. We have found many instances where properties have been bought without survey and encroachments later discovered that subsequently involves expensive remedies.
