Land Transfer Survey
Land Transfer Survey Process
We provide end-to-end land transfer survey services to help you legally transfer new land parcels with confidence. From survey plans to legal certifications and coordination, we manage the entire process for you.
Title Plan Preparation
We prepare the title plan (CSD) for LINZ approval, clearly showing new boundaries, areas, and easements—meeting all legal requirements for issuing new titles.
Section 223 Certification
We assist in obtaining Section 223 certification from the local council, confirming the subdivision complies with the approved resource consent.
Marking the New Boundaries
Once approved, we physically mark the new legal boundaries on-site with survey pegs, ensuring future construction or fencing aligns with the new title layout.
Survey Plan Preparation
Our licensed cadastral surveyors carry out a final detailed survey and prepare the official survey dataset for LINZ submission.
Liaison with Your Lawyer
We work closely with your solicitor or conveyancer, providing them with the necessary survey documents and supporting a smooth title registration process.
Congratulations on Your New Titles!
FAQs
What is a Land Transfer Survey?
A Land Transfer Survey is a legal survey required to create new titles when land is subdivided or reconfigured. It defines the legal boundaries of new lots and is lodged with LINZ (Land Information New Zealand).
When do I need a Land Transfer Survey?
You’ll need one if you are:
-
Subdividing land (e.g., 1 lot into 2 or more lots)
-
Adjusting a boundary
-
Creating an easement (e.g., for access or services)
What’s a 223 and 224c Certificate?
-
223 Certificate: Confirms your subdivision plan complies with the resource consent.
-
224c Certificate: Confirms all consent conditions have been met so new titles can be issued. 224c is not part of Land Transfer Survey process.
Can I do the Land Transfer Survey myself?
No. Only a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor can carry out and certify a Land Transfer Survey for submission to LINZ.
