Dividing a land to establish the legal titles befitting each new section is termed as subdividing the property. The simple subdivisions, like the boundary adjustments between the two or three neighbors, will require the involvement of the professionals like the surveyors, a solicitor, the Council, and definitely the owner. 
For the complex subdivisions, wide professional involvement is necessary, like that of the contractors, engineers, architects, designers, planners, landscape architects, real estate agents, and valuers. 
Relying on the subdivision project management company, like Visions Survey Consulting leads to larger subdivisions and it means the process becomes smoother that ultimately brings in better results.

A surveyor can provide the feasibility report and help in understanding the process clearly about your ideal being practical or not. Even they could recommend appropriate alternatives, when necessary.

ii. Types of Subdivision


The three main subdivision types include -


a. The most common one is the Freehold or Fee Simple Title where the owner holds the title completely.
b. Unit or Strata Tittle or Crosslease Title is shared by ownerships in different parts.
c. Flat Title Ownerships  Title shared by ownerships on shared arrangements

Based on your situation, you have to consult the surveyors for advice to be sure about the right ownership type. 

iii. Approval For Vehicle Access

You have to consider planning for vehicle access along with on-site parking at the early stage of the subdivision design process. Several residential subdivisions need each lot for having its own access and stipulate a certain count of parking sites for each unit most often. On the sites adjoining the bust roads and on the sloping sites, the house design could be limited by vehicle access. The professional surveyor of the best subdivision company will be following the best designing practices. 

iv. Subdivision Consent

From your local Council, you will have to secure the resource consent necessary for subdividing. This is a specialist process, and it will need an examination of your relevant District or City Plan in the first instance for determining the applicable zoning type to the land, whether your subdivision will be granted or permitted, or whether particular conditions or restrictions are applicable. 

In case, your subdivision is not achieving the minimum lot size pertaining to its zone, then the Council will be asking the neighbors for their agreement or else notify your proposal publicly. A land surveyor and a planner will correctly guide you through the entire stage and get the consent application ready for you. 

v. Surveying and Subdivision Plan Preparations

You will have to submit detailed subdivision plans as part of the consent application, and once the consent has been obtained, your next step is making arrangements for the formal cadastral survey for being conducted. The formal cadastral survey finalizes the new dimensions and boundaries, along with the final positioning of the on-site infrastructure.

vi. Title Certification and Title Issuing

The Council conducts a check for all the met consent conditions, and the surveyor lodges the final plan with the Land Information authorities for approval and issuing the new title/s.
