Synopsis
Understand how land is described on paper and on the ground—and why accuracy matters for titles and boundaries. This practical text explains how real descriptions of land are created, tested, and sometimes corrected in the field. It covers the rules, common mistakes, and the types of detail that make a description usable in registries and for future surveys.
Designed for survey students, this book focuses on the practical issues that arise when a plan, a plan’s bearings, or a right of way interact with real parcels. It uses real-world examples to show how descriptions are written, where they can go wrong, and how to avoid ambiguity that could affect ownership or registration.
- How to read descriptions that refer to plans, meridians, and boundaries
- Common pitfalls such as using vague terms like “Northerly” or relying on magnetic bearings
- Guidance on metes-and-bounds wording, original parcels, and remainders
- Examples involving railways, rights of way, and urban parcels to illustrate practical drafting
Ideal for readers new to surveying or civil engineering, and for those preparing for titles work in registry offices, the book helps you approach land descriptions with clarity and confidence.
