An easement gives legal rights for the use of land such as a shared driveway, a right of way to a rear lot, or service pipes crossing a neighbour's property.
A covenant restricts how land can be used such as a QEII open space covenant or a no build area. Both require a survey plan to precisely define their location and extent before they can be registered on title.
A clear Land Transfer Survey plan is required to depict the proposed easement or covenant shape and associated rights prevents that ambiguity, giving all parties legal certainty about the rights and obligations that bind the land not just the current owners, but every owner that follows.
We accurately mark and describe easement and covenant areas in a plan that is registered on the relevant titles. For a right of way easement, we survey the full extent of the driveway area and produce a legal plan showing the easement with its dimensions and boundaries, aligned with existing physical features so the legal right matches what's on the ground. We work proactively with your lawyer or planner to ensure the documentation meets LINZ requirements.
