Q: What is the difference between a land survey and a plat?

• <div><p>A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.</p></div>

Q: Who pays for a home appraisal?

• <div><p>The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You&rsquo;re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.</p></div>

Q: Do gazebos increase property value?

• <div><p>Yes, in many cases, gazebos can increase your property value&mdash;as long as they&rsquo;re in good condition. From a buyer&rsquo;s perspective, the most appealing gazebos are large, well-designed, and built with high-quality materials. Having extra features&mdash;like built-in seating or electrical outlets&mdash;will also impress some buyers. Small, flimsy, or run-down gazebos won&rsquo;t be as attractive.</p></div>

Q: Do koi ponds increase home value?

• <div><p>A koi pond may add value to your home if it&rsquo;s a feature sellers are looking for. Like pools, ponds can affect your property value depending on their condition, whether they&rsquo;re a popular selling point, and how well they&rsquo;re incorporated into your home&rsquo;s landscape.</p></div>
