Murphy Geospatial recognise the value of land and your investment; we also know that the cost implications of not recording it properly can be huge. Our legal mapping and boundary surveys can help to highlight potential issues before you make your purchase or sale to reduce your exposure to unnecessary and potentially very costly circumstances. 

The PRAI registers properties, not boundaries, and the index map attached to one’s folio is for that purpose. It is not a definitive map of your property, therefore it is not considered safe practice to rely on either an OSI map or PRAI map for the purchase or discharge of properties. It is most advantageous and strongly advised that all boundaries be verified on-site by a Geomatics Surveyor. 

Murphy Geospatial provide independent legal mapping services and boundary surveys you can trust to determine the size and measurement of your land or property. 

Not all maps are equal, nor is every map fit for all uses. OSI mapping is topographical survey mapping, using aerial photogrammetry for large-scale mapping. However, it has limitations when fine detail is required. It is not unusual for multiple features (e.g. hedge and fence underneath) to be shown as one single line on an OSI map. Murphy Geospatial can assist property developers, architects and private clients in understanding the nuances and pitfalls around legal mapping so that transactions can proceed with certainty.
