In any real estate transaction, information is power. Before completing the purchase or lease of a property, understanding exactly what is being acquired is essential to preventing future complications. In this context, the topographical survey becomes an indispensable tool to protect the investment and ensure the long-term viability of the project.
A topographical survey is a technical study that measures and maps a piece of land, identifies its physical characteristics, and analyzes its consistency with the legal information contained in the property’s title documents. Among other aspects, this analysis compares the actual size of the land with the recorded surface area, verifies boundaries and measurements, detects possible encroachments or overlaps, and anticipates physical restrictions that may limit development, such as road expansions, easements, power lines, or underground pipelines.
Including a topographical survey as part of real estate due diligence should not be viewed as an additional expense, but rather as a strategic investment. Its true value lies in the legal certainty it provides: it allows risks to be identified and addressed before acquisition, ensuring safer, more efficient, and more profitable transactions.
