What it is
Splitting a piece off a larger plot so it becomes a property of its own. The whole plot is measured, the portion to be split is defined, and both parts are drawn — the one leaving and the remainder — each with its area, bearings and description.
Timing and coverage
How long it takes depends on the size of the land, the access and the vegetation: an urban lot is not the same as a hillside farm. I tell you when you ask, along with the price, before you commit to anything. I work in El Salvador.
When you need it
- You are selling part of your land and the buyer needs their own deed
- You are giving a piece to a child or a relative
- You need to separate the part with the house from the rest
- A bank requires the collateral to be an independent property
What you get
- The drawing in DWG and PDF, ready to print or to file
- The calculation record with the bearing, distance and coordinate table
- The area in square metres and in square varas
- The drawing of the segregated portion and of the remainder
- The technical description of each, in legal language
What I need from you to start
- The deed of the whole property
- Which portion is being split and how big: area, or the boundaries you already know
- Access to the whole plot, not just the part being split
