Freehold Land Survey
Cadastral surveys of freehold titles for sale, mortgage, fencing, and development — plans prepared for Department of Lands examination.
Overview
Freehold is one of Fiji’s three main land tenures alongside iTaukei (native) and state land. Freehold parcels are dealt with under the Land Transfer Act; private surveyors commonly carry out cadastral surveys of freehold for sale, mortgage, or subdivision, with survey plans submitted to the Department of Lands for checking against Survey Regulations before approval as to survey and registration of dealings.
Whether you are buying, selling, fencing, or subdividing freehold, provides title-based boundary surveys and plans prepared for Lands examination. with your certificate of title or DP number.
How freehold land surveys work in Fiji
Cadastral practice in Fiji records freehold, native, and state parcels from approved survey plans. New plans are examined by Lands; only when a plan is approved as to survey do related title registrations proceed on a sound spatial footing.
Title and plan search
We start from your certificate of title and any deposited plan (DP) so the survey reconnects to the registered parcel dimensions and adjoining lots.
Field cadastral survey
On site we locate existing marks, measure boundaries, and place or replace pegs so the freehold extent is visible and consistent with title.
Survey plan for Lands
Where a new or amended plan is required, it is drawn to Survey Regulations and lodged with the Department of Lands for examination and approval as to survey.
Dealings and next steps
Approved survey geometry supports sale, mortgage, subdivision follow-on, or dispute resolution — so your solicitor and the Titles Office work from a clear plan.
