Order options

You can order the survey plan without adding it to your product list.

Depending on the survey, you can choose from:

  • Digital Title Plan  
  • Digital Survey Plan
  • Survey Plan  
  • Title Plan
  • Imperial Plan  
  • Imperial Plan (Colour)

You will only be charged once when ordering a Digital Survey Plan AND Digital Title Plan or Survey Plan AND Title Plan for the same survey, on the same day, with the same client reference. However, Imperial Plan and Imperial Plan (Colour) are 2 different items so will incur separate fees.
