Disputed or delayed land title surveys can very quickly derail or complicate any commercial real estate transaction. It’s essential that both parties have the benefit of a standardized process that is clear and direct. ALTA/NSPS surveys are a critical part of protecting a commercial real estate investment and are largely considered the “gold standard” of title surveys.

ALTA/NSPS surveys provide a clear framework for all parties to adhere to and allow for specific additional items to be included (Table A) so that the final delivered product is tailored to the client’s specific needs on their commercial real estate transaction.

The ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is the most in-depth and comprehensive process of its kind. It was established by the American Land Title Association (ALTA), the leading governing land title survey organization representing over 5,500 title insurance companies, title and settlement agents, independent abstracters, title searchers, and real estate attorneys.

The American Land Title Association was established over 110 years ago and has been instrumental in American real estate deals ever since. The ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey explores a variety of real estate and zoning variables, including:

Like many aspects of commercial property transactions, there are many in-depth and complicated steps to ordering, performing and producing the ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey, and it’s very important that you have an experienced and qualified partner to help guide you through the process.
