What happens if your land survey is inaccurate?

• <div><p>If you or your mortgage lender think your land survey needs to be more accurate, double-check the survey report and get at least a second opinion from the original surveyor and an inspector, if possible. Although it’s unlikely, even reputable surveying companies can make mistakes. An inaccurate survey can cause problems down the road in the case of any property line disputes, so it’s best to resolve any inaccuracies as quickly as possible.</p></div>

Why should I have my land surveyed?

• <div><p>Land surveying can help give clear guidance on your property boundaries for numerous situations. And in some cases, having your land surveyed is a requirement. Some common reasons to have your land surveyed include:</p><ul><li><p>Planning for construction projects, like building a fence</p></li><li><p>Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures</p></li><li><p>Settling property line disputes </p></li><li><p>Creating subdivisions </p></li><li><p>Meeting mortgage requirements</p></li><li><p>Selling your property</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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: Can you build on undeveloped land?

Once you prepare the land, you can build on it as long as the project abides by local zoning regulations.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional land surveyor?

• <div><p>A professional land surveyor ensures accurate property boundaries and prevent legal disputes.</p></div>
