Having a detailed, accurate map of the land\u2019s features and its boundaries is essential in helping you to make an informed decision on your next investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a common misconception that the fence of a property is the marker between where your land ends and your neighbour\u2019s land begins, but this isn\u2019t always the case. Even though a boundary fence should ideally be located on or as close to the boundary as possible, the fence does not necessarily define the boundary.
