2. • Every buyer and lender should review the status of title and must
execute a complete survey of the commercial property to be
purchased, prior to making the decision to purchase.
• An ALTA survey incorporates both a thorough title search and a land
survey.

3. ALTA surveys are more formally known as ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys.
Please note the mention of two organizations:
1. American Land Title Association
2. American Congress on Surveying and Mapping
This reflects the double role of ALTA survey, from a title search (public records)
and physical survey standpoint.

4. • The title search provides public record disclosures of everything that
affects the property.
• However a “title search” is not sufficient. It may fail to identify a recorded
document and may not include “unrecorded third party property rights”.

5. An ALTA survey can uncover several unrecorded third party property
rights, errors and other conditions affecting the property such as
• Easements that may encumber or benefit the property
• Possible encroachments across boundary lines or easements
• Access to a public street or lack thereof
• Zoning of the property along with setback requirements
• Flood Zones that may affects the subject property
• Evidence of any use by other parties
• Location of any water boundaries on the subject property
• Evidence of cemeteries
• Names of adjoining property owners
