A boundary identification survey in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a type of land survey focused on confirming and marking existing property boundaries for a specific parcel of land. Unlike a full boundary perimeter survey, which establishes precise boundary lines, a boundary identification survey verifies the location of previously established boundaries. This survey is often requested when a property is being sold, subdivided, or developed, as it allows for quick confirmation of the property lines without conducting a more extensive survey process.
In the BVI, boundary identification surveys are crucial for land transactions and development, as they help property owners, buyers, and developers avoid boundary disputes or encroachments by ensuring that the boundaries match existing land registry records. The surveyor will typically research cadastral records before visiting the site to locate boundary markers or monuments. Damaged or Missing boundary markers will be replaced.
