ABOUT O’Brien Mapping
At O’Brien Mapping, we strive for perfection. To enable us deliver this, we have the highest qualifications available to inform our preferred approach, our choice of appropriate standards, and achieving the high quality of services we provide.
We strive to differentiate OBPA services from the full range of surveying and mapping services other companies provide who attempt to be experts at everything. We will focus solely on a niche market supplying Boundary Surveying and Legal Mapping only and we focus solely on our client’s needs, we do not take short cuts, and our approach is to be the experts for legal mapping in Ireland.
striving for perfection
Our extensive research to date informs us that approximately one third of Irish landowners have a property boundary issue, and legal mapping issues are growing day by day in Ireland. Many of these boundary and mapping issues eventually arise as disputes over boundaries, adverse possession, rights of way, encroachment, etc. Boundary disputes over large or small areas of land can destroy friendships and adversely affect relations between neighbours, can pass from generation to generation and can also sour community relations. Old methods of land measurement, and inaccurate mapping are at the heart of the problem. These problems can be resolved, but it normally takes far longer than originally anticipated.
OBPA intend to address this information deficiency by utilising modern surveying methods and creating clear legal mapping to an accuracy which cannot be challenged. Landowners need to ask themselves “do I have marketable Title for my property?” Any unresolved legal mapping issues can significantly delay a property sale, so why wait to find out the problem later? Ask the question now and resolve any issues identified when you have the time to do so.
