WHEN BUYING A LAND OR HOUSE, MAKE A REGISTERED SURVEY PLAN BEFORE PAYMENT

A survey plan is a document that contains an accurate measurement, description and boundary of land. Knowing the true dimension and size of the land is important. The survey plan also shows your boundaries on all sides and fully captures your name and the actual location of the land.

Be sure to engage the services of a registered Surveyor and ensure the plan is registered with the Ministry of Lands and Survey and a copy of the Survey Plan lodged at the Ministry.

An unregistered survey plan is of no use; it is as good as not making a survey plan at all. Avoid unregistered surveyors and quacks.

Those will charge you less, but at the end you have done nothing. It will save you a lot of hassles to abide by this.

If what you end up with is an unregistered survey plan, then be sure that you do not have a survey plan at all. There are no short cuts here, so don’t short-change yourself.

A Deed of Conveyance, Assignment or Transfer (legal documents of transfer of ownership of land) will make reference to the details captured in the survey plan.

So if the survey plan turns out invalid for not being registered the deed cannot stand on its own. You can’t put something on nothing. It doesn’t work that way.
