Title Surveys for Long Island Property Transactions

Request a title survey with Aerial Land Surveying, D.P.C. Send the property details, transaction requirements and closing date so our office can discuss the scope and available timing.

Give the Closing File a Clear Start

Title Companies and Attorneys

Send the property address and file reference with the survey request. Include the title information available, the requested deliverable and any instructions that affect how the survey will be used. Name the contact for questions and the people who should receive the completed work.

If your firm regularly places orders, identify the contact coordinating this property and any requirements specific to the transaction. A previous file provides context, while the current property and instructions establish what needs to be discussed for the new order.

Buyers, Sellers and Borrowers

If a title company, lender or attorney has asked you for a survey, send us their request. You can start with the property address and the wording you received, even if the survey terminology is unfamiliar.

Tell us whether the request relates to a purchase, sale or refinance, along with the date you're working toward. The person requesting the survey should confirm the document they need and what they will accept for the transaction.

The Dates That Matter

Include the date the survey is needed for review as well as the closing date, if both are known. The transaction team may need time to consider the survey before closing, so those dates should be part of the initial conversation.

Tell the office if the transaction schedule changes. We strive to keep communication connected to the property and the current requirements so the people relying on the file can plan their next steps.

Title Survey Scope

  • Property Information for the Transaction

    A title survey records the property's existing conditions for the closing file, including boundaries and improvements within the agreed scope. Your title company or attorney uses it alongside the title documents to review survey-related property questions. Send their instructions so the requested content and deliverable can be confirmed.

    Describe any particular concern already raised in the file. A question about a fence, an addition, an access arrangement or a document should be identified directly, rather than left for the office to infer from a general request.

  • Requests Called Mortgage Surveys

    Lenders and transaction parties can use different wording in their survey requests. If your paperwork asks for a mortgage survey, share the request with our office so the required scope and intended use can be confirmed for your property.

    Include the lender's instructions and the contact handling the transaction. For a refinance, explain that purpose and identify any existing survey or documents you have. The request is reviewed for its actual requirements rather than the label alone.

  • Commercial ALTA/NSPS Requirements

    An ordinary title survey should not be assumed to satisfy an ALTA/NSPS request. If the transaction team specifically requires that product, send the title package, agreed optional scope and certification requirements with the inquiry.

    Use our ALTA survey service for that order. The official ALTA/NSPS standards resources describe the current standard, while your lender and title team identify the requirements for the particular transaction.

Prepare Your Order Information

Identify the Property

Include the full property address and parcel information if available. If the transaction covers several parcels or the address is unclear, explain that in the request. The office needs to understand which property the survey is intended to cover.

Mention any buildings, improvements or property changes relevant to the request. If you have an older survey, provide its date and describe changes you know about since it was prepared. The office can discuss the information in relation to the current work.

Share the Available Documents

Start with the documents and instructions already in the file. Useful starting material can include the following:

  • The title-company or lender survey request
  • Available title documents and property descriptions
  • An existing survey, with its date
  • Specific requirements from the attorney or other intended recipient

Tell us what is still being gathered. You can begin the conversation with the property and purpose, and the office can discuss document exchange and anything else needed to establish the scope.

Name the Contacts and Recipients

Provide the ordering contact, company if applicable, and the person who can answer questions about the transaction requirements. Identify who should receive updates and the completed survey, together with any file reference they use.

If you're requesting work on another person's behalf, explain your role. The office can confirm the appropriate instructions and recipients for the order as the request is discussed.

Existing Surveys and New Requests

Acceptance of an Older Survey

An existing survey is a starting point for discussion. Its date, the current property and the requirements of the transaction all matter. Ask the lender, title company or attorney what they will accept before assuming the document can be used for the current file.

Tell us about changes you know of, including additions, fences or other improvements. If the requested work involves an update or another use of an earlier survey, the office can discuss what is needed for that specific request.

Questions About the Property

If a survey or other document raises a concern, identify the question and the parties who need an explanation. The surveyor can address questions about the survey work, while your attorney or title professional advises on legal rights and title matters within their role.

A survey does not decide every issue in a transaction. Keeping the question connected to the appropriate professional helps you understand what needs to happen before the file moves forward.

Pricing and Timing

Quote the Current Property

A title survey quote reflects the requested work and the property involved. Available records, the extent of the property, site conditions, access and the requirements of the intended recipient help define the scope.

Send those details with the closing and review dates. Our office will discuss pricing and timing for the specific order before the work is arranged. If the requirements change, bring the revised request into the conversation so its effect can be reviewed.

Expedited Availability

Need a job done in two to three business days? Contact us for expedited pricing and availability.

Include the transaction dates and the requirements already known. Expedited availability needs to be discussed for the individual property and order. A requested date in the form starts that discussion; it does not establish a delivery commitment.

Stay in Contact About the File

Order Progress

At project commencement, you'll receive an emailed order-tracking link showing where the job stands and which department is working on the file. Keep the email with the transaction documents so you can refer to it during the order.

For a question about an update, call the office with the property address and order reference. If your client or another transaction contact needs an explanation, let us know who should be involved in the discussion.

Changes and Clarifications

Send revised instructions with the property and file reference, including changes to the required date, recipients or requested information. We strive to make communication clear about what is being requested and which questions need to be resolved.

Use our contact page for office contact information and existing-order questions. For a new property, the quote form collects the starting details for a separate request.

Questions Before Placing the Order

Do I Need a Survey for Every Closing?

Requirements depend on the property and transaction. Ask the lender, title company or attorney what they need, then send that request to our office. Our closing survey guide explains questions to discuss.

Who Pays for the Survey?

Confirm responsibility with the parties handling your transaction and its agreements. Tell the office who is placing the order so the quote and next steps can be discussed with the appropriate contact.

Can I Order Without Knowing the Survey Type?

Yes. Share the request you received and choose "Unsure" on the quote form. The property, purpose and intended recipient give the office a starting point for discussing the work.

Does This Include Marks for My Fence Contractor?

If physical marking is needed, include that in the request before the work is quoted. Property corner staking and boundary survey work should be discussed for the contractor's intended use.

Where Can I Check General Surveying Information?

The New York State Education Department provides land surveying consumer information, including questions to discuss with a professional. Your transaction team should confirm the requirements for your file.
