The Best Land Surveyors in Auckland

Updated 18 April 2024

Summary:
  • If your home doesn’t already have a clear divider, such as a fence, and you want to update the landscaping or add a driveway near the property line, a land survey is required. There are several other times when you may want to have your land or property surveyed, but it almost always has to do with some type of construction or design update. 
  • What Does a Land Surveyor Do?
    A licensed surveyor will determine, mark, and map your precise property boundaries, identify geographical features that could impact land use, and map out the structures on your property. For homeowners, a professional is required prior to sale or when building along the property line. 
  • There are many reputable land surveyors to choose from in Auckland, so this guide will help you narrow down your options.

​Our guide covers:

How Much Does a Land Survey Cost?

Costs of surveying your land will vary depending on the size of your lot or land, how old the current title is (if there is one), how much existing data is available, and the level of detail required—which will vary depending on how the land will be used. If the land is uneven or difficult to navigate, it will cost more. So, if you have a somewhat defined residential property surveyed, it will likely fall towards the lower end of the scale.
  • The average homeowner pays between $500 and $900, but prices can run $1500+. If you require a topography, the cost is between $2,000 and $3,000. More in-depth surveys can run $4,000+. 
  • You must also factor in the cost of searching for and obtaining your current title, if you have one, and submitting a new title for certification. Title search documents are $5 to $15 each, new titles are $135, and resubmitting a title is $88. 

How Can I Get the Best Land Surveying Rates?
  • Compare Prices But Prioritize Your Needs: The key is finding a skilled surveyor in the type of surveying you require. The more in-depth your needs, the more important it is to identify a surveyor specialising in your type of project. Comparison shop, but prioritize the specs required for your project. 
  • You’re Unlikely To Find Sales: Most surveyors do not discount their rates, so finding a sale is unlikely.

Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Land Surveyor?

  1. Are you a licensed surveyor?
  2. Have you worked in similar terrains or areas of Auckland?
  3. What other types of land or property surveys do you perform?
  4. What percentage of your survey titles are denied, and do I have to pay more if my title is not approved?​​ (we recognise the risk of a survey being unacceptable is remove, and we list it as an optional question)

​How Do I Pay For Land Surveys?

Most surveyors accept a range of payment methods, including:
  • Direct Credit (internet banking)
  • Cheque
  • Cash with invoice
  • Credit Card via their website (a surcharge may apply)
  • On-site Eftpos
Surveyors usually have strict payment terms, with 7 or 10 days standard.
