What Is A Property Survey?
Curious about what a property survey is? Then you’ve come to the right place!
A property survey could not only save you a lot of hassles, but it could also save you some money if something isn’t where it’s supposed to be. For some purposes, you may be legally required to get a property survey done, but sometimes it’s simply great peace of mind before you start a new project on your property. Property surveys are legal documents that are beneficial for buyers, sellers, lenders, insurance companies, and also homeowners.
A standard property survey is a drawing or map of your land which includes boundaries and other specific elements such as easements. Your property survey will be conducted by a trained surveyor and provide you with a detailed overview of your property. If you were planning on remodeling or building an extension, a property survey can reassure you that you’re breaking any laws or regulations.
Factors that will be included on your property survey usually include:
- Property/boundary lines
- Easements Utilities
- Elevation levels
- Improvements
- Regulation compliance
- Hazard areas
The most common reason someone would get a property survey is if they were considering buying a home. Some lenders and insurance agents require the buyer to get a property survey completed if one hasn’t recently been completed. It’s a great way to ensure that everything is where it’s supposed to be and mitigate the risks of a problem arising between neighboring properties.
