To determine the boundaries of the territory, as well as fix it in the cadastre, it is necessary to survey the suburban areas. Thanks to this procedure, it will be possible to prevent disputes arising between neighbors. The work is carried out by land surveying companies that are also involved in geodetic activities. Surveying should be carried out with all sites that are located in the property. For example, even a small area of 6 acres requires the definition of boundaries.
Why is the procedure required?
The owners of suburban real estate often raises the question of why land surveying is needed. Although the legislation allows for the privatization of territories without fixing borders, there are still several situations where this must be done:
- this is required if it is necessary to conduct a transaction of sale, donation, delivery of a certain territory of the site;
- if you plan to build a house or other facility so as not to violate the borders of neighbors.
It is believed that land surveying of summer cottages should be carried out when there are difficulties with neighbors. In the event of contentious issues, they will be able to be resolved peacefully, without resorting to the judiciary. After the procedure, it will be much easier to carry out various transactions with the land: sale, exchange, gift.
Advantages and disadvantages
The disadvantages include the high cost of services, as well as the likelihood of a conflict with the chairman of the country partnership. In this case, it will be necessary to establish new legal relations, to determine the rules of interaction. This is due to the fact that collective ownership includes ownership of infrastructure, communications and other amenities, the work of which must be coordinated with all tenants.
It turns out that with the allocation of land during surveying, the right to common property is lost. The chairman must coordinate all legal relations, as well as resolve other issues.
The benefits include independence, as the owner can focus on their conditions. The land is rightfully owned, and therefore the plot is at full disposal. The territory becomes protected from crime from other persons and neighbors. With land surveying, it will be possible to correct the area of the site, as well as to legitimize abandoned places adjacent to the territory.
Who performs the procedure
Land surveying of summer cottages is carried out by many specialized firms. You can choose the appropriate one according to the following criteria:
- there must be a license to carry out this type of work;
- having a positive story is important;
- It is necessary to choose a company with low prices;
- in order not to solve a lot of additional issues, you should find out which package of services is provided - full or partial.
The work is carried out by cadastral engineers. Specialists pass an examination for the right to carry out this activity. It is such employees that specialized firms hire. Thanks to this, promptness and excellent quality of activity are offered.
And due to poor-quality work, it will not be possible to register the site, since the borders will intersect with neighboring sites. Therefore, it is important to choose specialists based on real reviews from acquaintances and friends. You need to know about the quality of the work done and the timing of the documentation.
Required documents
If you need to determine the boundaries of the territory, you need to know what documents are needed for surveying a summer cottage. Necessary include:
- certificate of ownership;
- a document that is the basis for the issuance of a certificate, for example, a contract of sale;
- registration of ownership;
- certificate confirming the absence of communication cables;
- documentation from the land cadastre.
Only with a complete list of documents can surveying summer cottages. They can be prepared by a company performing work on determining the face, but you must pay for this service separately.
Features of the procedure
How to make a survey of a summer cottage? Employees of the company carry out a set of instrumental works on the ground, as well as cartographic activities, analysis of old and new documents.
To carry out the procedure, the specialist collects all the necessary information about the site. Then the surveyors begin to work:
- check the status of points of the boundary network;
- conduct inspection of the boundaries of the site, determine the condition of the signs.
An important step is to notify the owners of neighboring plots about the organization of the meeting regarding the coordination of borders. They must be warned in writing 30 days in advance. An engineer finds out in Rosreestr or at the customer the addresses of neighbors. If there are no contacts, then the notification is carried out through the media.
Since many do not view the local press, where important announcements are often published, this is the cause of various abuses. For example, it is possible to increase the area due to the neighbor, if the documents indicated an overestimated area. But due to the lack of ownership of an adjacent site, it is often impossible to complete the procedure.
Features of land surveying sites in SNT
The boundaries of territories located in a horticultural non-profit partnership are established according to information from documents on the right to own the site. In the absence of such documentation, the information recorded in the papers on the location of the borders shall apply.
Since almost all land is provided to gardeners without land surveying, there are many controversial situations regarding the definition of boundaries. Many territories are not included in the cadastre, and sometimes are set only declaratively. A mandatory land surveying of cottages is fixed in law.
Disputes with neighbors
Surveying is often carried out so that there are no disputes with neighbors on the establishment of legal boundaries. If the procedure is carried out, then the neighbors will not be able to seize the territory, since a document will be issued on the implementation of legal procedures. Surveying can be performed without coordination with the neighbors, but they should be warned about it anyway.
After notifying neighbors about the work, the real estate cadastre conducts a land survey. To do this, go around all tenants, as well as give documents for signature. Then all notices are provided to the company that carries out the work. If disputes still arise, then it is better to resolve them peacefully.
Collective land surveying
Although the site cannot have a cadastral number, a horticultural partnership involves the installation of land for common use. Common areas are:
- roads;
- driveways;
- power lines;
- gas pipelines;
- pipelines;
- water bodies;
- utility buildings.
It turns out that everything is included in the general, except for the sites registered in the partnership. These territories are considered collective, therefore, all residents have the right to use them.
Surveying is an expensive procedure, as well as a long one, since it takes about 1.5 years to determine the boundaries of common lands. This work is accurate because it requires engineering skills. Independently conducting it can lead to many problems, therefore it is better to order work in a specialized company.
The content of the boundary plan
After completing the work, a boundary plan is issued. This document includes the following information:
- boundaries and area of the site, including neighboring territories;
- techniques with which borders were determined;
- the establishment of easements;
- information on coordination of work with neighbors;
- about changing sites during work.
Work prices
Quite popular is the question of how much it costs to survey a summer cottage. In each region, prices may vary, but their average size is in the range of 5-20 thousand rubles. The specific cost is determined depending on the objectives, as well as on the territory. Land surveying of 6 acres will have a cost of about 10-15 thousand rubles.
Each company has its own price, but there are several conditions that affect the final cost:
- preparation of contract;
- the arrival of a specialist to survey the site;
- coordination of the territory with neighboring sites that have not passed the land surveying procedure;
- registration of the boundary plan.
The list of ordered services allows you to establish how much it costs to survey the suburban area. Our country has cadastral pricing rules. An important criterion is the complexity, which is established on the basis of data from a special table. Also takes into account the standard hour determined from the salary. But these rules are applied by state organizations.
Private companies have their own prices. The average cost of a small plot is 10 thousand rubles. In some regions, decrees to reduce prices apply. Often, organizations offer to use the services, without which it is impossible to fully complete the survey.
The collective circulation noticeably reduces the cost of land surveying; only doing this is beneficial to gardening associations. At the meeting, a person is selected who will deal with this issue. He is given powers of attorney, a salary is determined, after which he can work with surveyors.
It should be borne in mind that in some real estate transactions, land surveying is not required. This is determined by the "summer amnesty." Therefore, the plot issued before October 30, 2001, becomes the property of a simplified procedure. And this does not require the registration of a boundary passport. It is only necessary to submit to the Rosreestr the basis, cadastral passport, confirmation of payment of state duty, after which a certificate will be issued.
Can the service be free
Starting from June 1, 2015, according to the organization of municipal bodies, a free land survey of a summer cottage is possible. This happened with the introduction of amendments to the Land Code of the Russian Federation. The law on land surveying of suburban areas includes the requirements for the procedure. If it needs to be carried out urgently and without queues, you will need to pay for the service.
Surveying is preferably done immediately after the acquisition of the site. This will allow to carry out various transactions with the territory, and also eliminates the occurrence of disputes with neighbors over the territory.
