Virginia Real Estate Exam Practice Question
Which of the following is an example of a metes and bounds description?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Metes and bounds descriptions provide a detailed account of a property's boundaries using physical landmarks and measurements. Option B exemplifies this by specifying a starting point (the iron pin) and directional movement (southwesterly) relative to a known feature (the brook).
Option A, an address, lacks the descriptive elements of metes and bounds. Option C describes a subdivision lot, which is a plat-based system rather than metes and bounds. Option D uses a rectangular survey system, identifying land by sections and quarters, distinct from the metes and bounds approach. Thus, only Option B accurately represents a metes and bounds description.
