Why Hire a Land Surveyor?
A land survey is important for a homebuyer because it will tell you what legally is and isn’t yours. Relying on man-made demarcations like fences or natural barriers like rivers, hedges, or tree lines aren’t reliable. The current or a former owner may have built on land that isn’t a part of the legal description, giving buyers a false impression of what is for sale.
Typically, a land survey will tell you:
• If the legal description is accurate and “closes.”
• Where the property lines are located.
• If and where there are easements, public right of ways, encroachments, etc.
• If there are any undocumented or unrecorded easements or undocumented encroachments. For instance, a surveyor will note if there is a worn footpath that the public frequently uses or if a neighbor’s fence partially extends into the property.
