Real Property Reports are legal documents prepared by registered Alberta Land Surveyors. A Real Property Report (RPR) is a legal graphic representation of a piece of property and the improvements upon it. In preparing a Real Property Report, an Alberta Land Surveyor locates the legal boundaries of a property and then measures the locations of the buildings or other improvements relative to the boundaries. The boundaries and improvements are then plotted on a document. The document also identifies easements, utility right of way, and other legal features that may affect the property.
The time to arrange an RPR is as soon as a property is listed for sale. Having a prepared Report is an advantage for a seller and will make a real estate transaction easier and likely faster. If a Real Property Report is ordered near the closing date for a sale, there can be delays.Often major issues are identified through the Real Property Report process. Garages have been built on property lines, garages have been built over gas lines, fences have been located on neighboring property, or a neighbor's fence is built on the subject property, and even houses have been improperly located.
