Q: What are the benefits of getting a land survey before buying a property?

• <div><p>A land survey provides precise property boundaries, reveals legal encroachments, and identifies rights-of-way, minimizing disputes. Understanding the exact dimensions and features of the property aids in informed decision-making and safeguards the buyer's investment.</p></div>

Q: How long does a land survey take?

• <div><p>A land survey can take anywhere from a few hours to a month or more, depending on the size of the property, the type of survey, the property&rsquo;s accessibility and topography, and the availability of historical property records. A simple boundary survey to determine a fence line can be completed in a day while surveying 50 acres of undeveloped woodlands may take weeks or longer.</p></div>

Q: Do surveys have to be recorded?

• <div><p>Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property&rsquo;s boundaries is needed. While you&rsquo;re not required to file survey documents, it&rsquo;s a good idea to do so. </p></div>

Q: How hard is it to buy a house for the first time?

• <div><p>Several government-backed lending programs can help first-time home buyers purchase a home with little money down. FHA, USDA, and VA loans are options for qualifying borrowers, though many conventional mortgage lenders will lower down payment rates to as low as 3 percent.</p><p> </p></div>

The provider arrived on time and was very pleasant. He surveyed the work space and under the house access for the electrical service to be performed. He provided me an estimate for the work. This provider did not do the work, because my old handyman was able to do it.

I wanted the trimming done immediately, but Luis said the company was busy and might or might not be able to do it within the week. About a week later, I called and asked that the trimming be done on the 22nd, since I had masons in to do some brick work and I wanted to give it plenty of time to...
