I just have a "simple" (nothing is simple anymore) question: what if I do not have the PIN number, just the Roll number, but I know the name of the current owner, how can I get a real survey for a property? What can the "instrument no." be useful?

[hhs]

I meant  to say "how can the instrument no. be useful", not "what". It's pretty late and I am quite sleepy

I found the answer in previous posts, thank you everyone.
By the way, who gave me a -1 and why? Did I offend somebody? Sorry !

If a plot of land is on the registry system, is it possible to convert it to land titles system? if so how would you go about doing this?

  In re-reading some older postings, this posting made me sit up:
 "And I read in one of these message boards that people are doing PPSA searches.  Here's some free advice: stop wasting your money with PPSA searches.  Most of the value of your bid is in the land/house.  The Tax dept usually only sells the property - i.e. they aren't giving you a bill of sale for the chattels/fixtures becuase they don't usually exercise that right under the Municipal Act."
  How does one interpret this, if they don't understand the terms and their meaning, and how this applies to a municipal tax sale? No insult intended, but is this lawyer unintentionally misleading us into not doing a thorough job in our investigations?
