BE SURE OF THAT LAND CO-ORDINATES WHEN BUYING
Buying land without co-ordinates is like sailing without a compass. You will get lost or worse.
When you are buying land, never assume. Coordinates are the DNA of a Survey Plan; the only way to confirm the real, physical position of the land you are about to invest in. Without them, “your land” might exist only on paper, not in reality.
Coordinates are a set of numerical values (usually expressed as latitude and longitude) that precisely identify the exact location of a point on the earth’s surface.
Co-ordinates provide the unique, fixed position of a piece of land, ensuring that it can be accurately mapped out.
It is the coordinates, not the name or address of the land, that your Property Lawyer will rely on during due diligence (investigations) to confirm the true status of the land.
Through the coordinates, the Lawyer can accurately search government land records to determine whether the land is free from government acquisition, affected by urban planning or designated for specific purposes like roads, markets or public utilities.
Without coordinates, any investigation would be guesswork, leaving you dangerously exposed.
Co-ordinates give your land a verified address on the earth’s surface. You are not just buying land; you are buying a defined spot on the planet. Co-ordinates lock that spot in legally.
A Survey Plan without co-ordinates, or worse, an unregistered Survey Plan (Site Plan) is an open invitation to disaster. Only a registered Survey Plan officially endorsed by the Surveyor-General of the State – guarantees you true ownership protection.
It shows that the survey work has been vetted, authenticated and preserved in official government records.
When you ignore co-ordinates, you expose yourself to overlapping claims, encroachments and the terrifying possibility of losing out.
