A survey plan can look official and still hide risk if you do not know what to verify. Buyers should treat it as a decision document, not a formality.
Core elements to confirm
- Property coordinates and beacon references
- Plan date and surveyor details
- Consistent boundaries with what is shown on site
Frequent mismatch problem
Some buyers inspect one parcel and pay for another because coordinates were never validated against physical boundaries.
Always pair survey review with on-ground verification before any binding payment.
