The Critical Role of Cadastral & Boundary Survey Before Buying Property

Boundary conflicts remain one of the leading causes of property litigation in East Africa. Many buyers mistakenly assume that an existing fence or informal hedge represents the exact legal boundary of a parcel.

### What a Cadastral Survey Accomplishes:
1. **Beacon Relocation & Fixation**: Using high-precision GNSS/RTK GPS systems to locate original survey beacons or replace missing markers.
2. **Area Verification**: Ensuring the land size stated in the contract exactly matches ground reality.
3. **Road Encroachment Checks**: Verifying that no part of the parcel infringes on gazetted public road reserves or railway corridors.
