Cadastral Surveying

African Geomatics provides professional cadastral surveying services throughout Namibia. We establish and re-establish property boundaries, survey land subdivisions and consolidations, and carry out surveys for township development, servitudes and sectional titles.

Whether you are a private landowner, farmer, developer or professional working on a land development project, we provide the surveying expertise required to define property boundaries and support the legal registration of land.

Township surveys are carried out for the establishment of townships. A township consists of individual land parcels, together with streets and public places, intended primarily for residential, industrial, commercial or similar purposes. The surveyed layout is shown on a General Plan, which is registered with the Surveyor-General’s Office and filed with the Deeds Office.
We assist property owners in locating their property beacons and can provide a beacon certificate.
A servitude is a legal right over another person’s property or, in certain cases, a right attached to a property that allows its owner to use part of another property for a specific purpose. Where required, the servitude is surveyed to define the affected area and is registered in the Deeds Office. Common examples include rights of way, water pipelines and overhead power lines.
Farm surveys are often required when a farm owner wishes to subdivide a farm. The subdivision of agricultural land is regulated by the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act 70 of 1970. The necessary statutory consents must be obtained before the subdivision survey can proceed.
Land parcels may be subdivided into smaller parcels, subject to the necessary statutory approvals. Two or more land parcels may also be consolidated into a single, larger parcel, provided the applicable requirements are met.
Sectional title surveys define individual sections within a building for separate ownership, together with each owner’s undivided share in the common property. This allows different units within a development to be owned and transferred separately. Sectional title schemes can apply to a range of residential and commercial developments, including apartment buildings and office complexes.
