Let's start off with the basic definition of a boundary survey (also known as a property boundary survey). This essential document is used to define the limits of your property legally: this is also called a parcel of land. Before you begin owning and running a property, you need to define what belongs to who.
Property boundaries are the crucial lines that mark where one property ends and the neighboring property begins.
Boundary lines help determine the extent of a property and its legal ownership. Specifically, these lines define a property's physical limits and help prevent conflicts between neighboring property owners.
Healthy material boundaries involve setting limits on what you will share, and with whom. For example, it may be appropriate to lend a car to a family member, but probably not to someone you met this morning.
: something that points out or shows a limit or end : dividing line.
Under such an agreement, the parties acknowledge the true boundary line between the properties, and the encroaching owner releases any claim to the strip of land encroached upon. In return, the “encroached upon” owner allows the encroachment to continue for so long as he/she is not adversely affected.
You and your neighbour can create a 'boundary agreement' to record: the boundary between 2 properties. who's responsible for maintaining a hedge, wall, tree or fence between 2 properties.
