Does the seller get to see the survey if a buyer pays for it?

• <div><p>If a buyer pays for a survey, the surveyor they hired will only provide results to them. It’s up to the buyer whether they share the survey results with the seller or not, even if they ultimately walk away from the deal. It’s considered good faith to share the results with the seller, though, especially if you back out of the deal, as the seller can then provide that survey to future interested parties.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a land survey and a boundary survey?

• <div><p>A boundary survey measures the boundary lines of the property, only the length of each property line and their locations. A land survey includes a more in-depth measurement of the property, including the heights and depths of the terrain measured by a topographic survey. A boundary survey is typically the most cost-effective method for marking and measuring property lines.</p></div>

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: What does a land surveyor look for?

• <div><p>Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/site-development-costs.htm">cost of land development projects</a>.</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>

I hired R.J. Fuselier and Associates to perform a standard boundary survey of my residential property. Chris R. responded to my request for a quote the same day. I was very impressed by his knowledge. Chris immediately understood what type of survey I needed and the urgency of my situation,...

David and his team strike me as a good group of guys. Very experienced and skilled, professional, respectful of your house. I think there is probably no electrical issue you could throw at them that they wouldn't have a good solution for. Came one day to survey the situation, and the work was...

How to evaluate? Don't know. Wouldn't know if it was a great appraisal or not so great. Don't have the report and even if I did, I wouldn't know other than what the appraiser told me. Always try to be fair with these surveys but the questions are unanswerable, i.e., would you recommend? ...

It was "close-to-an-emergency" call. The rat came in when the house door was open, and stayed for two days. Not even with a reservation. This morning, we heard it in the bathroom, closed the door, and looked for a person to deal with it (in any way possible). We called Pied Piper after looking...

"I paid $1,500.00 in advance for an elevation certificate on my property in Basile on November 26, 2024, as required by Fuselier and Associates. Now I know why they made me pay up front, otherwise I would have canceled this and gone elsewhere. They were extremely slow and unconcerned with my need for the elevation certificate. After many many phone calls and texts with Jeffery [Provider Name Removed], I emailed him and requested a refund in mid December. Miraculously, I was then mailed a plat map which was dated December 2, 2024. And there was still no elevation certificate. Of course, they refused to refund my money and still didn?t send me the elevation certificate, which was required in order to avoid purchasing flood insurance. I finally bought flood insurance for $950.00 so that I could complete the renovation on my house. For those of you wondering why the renovation on my home is taking so long, this is why! Absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND! My rating: -1000!"
