Residential Surveys
Mortgage Certificates
Mortgage certificates, formally called Building Location Certificates (BLC), are house location plans often required by banks as part of financing arrangements with a house purchase. If you are buying a house and your bank calls for a mortgage certificate, you will be required to provide a plan showing the lot, any structures and rights-of-way on the lot, and any encroachments either onto or off the lot.
Bennett Land Surveying Ltd. provides BLC surveys to clients after careful research of existing plans to ensure we can determine the property lines, locate the house and all other structures relative to those lot lines in the most efficient manner possible. We rely on our own records and Land Title Office survey records to complete our research before conducting our fieldwork using state of the art equipment. Plans are prepared digitally and presented in digital and/or plotted formats and delivered to your lawyer electronically.
