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>

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: 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: What information can I find in a land survey report?

• <div><p>Land survey reports have a boatload of information relevant to several scenarios. Here are the types of information contained with a survey, though it depends on your chosen type of land survey. Exact boundaries and dimensions of a given property General topography, including both natural and artificial landmarks Location of utility fixtures, like water mains Confirmation of any easements or encroachments on a piece of property Assessment of land elevation to buy flood insurance Updated information to add to a pre-existing property map</p></div>

Q: What type of land survey is the most expensive?

• <div><p>ALTA/ACSM surveys are the most comprehensive type of land survey and, as such, tend to be the most expensive. These surveys have standardized guidelines and reports and are used in many kinds of real estate transactions to ensure consistent and accurate information is available for properties.</p></div>

Wow! Paul and his team did an excellent job. We should have done this sooner! Expanding the landing, pouring new stairs for the front, and creating a curved walkway completely transformed the look of our house. The crew was professional and friendly. The price was very reasonable. Highly...

At first it was great. We had water sitting right by the door and the pavers never dried out after the rain. The landing was never sealed by the door so it ran under the wood floor which buckled. I have an email chain showing I have contacted Dave almost yearly with multiple problems. Now the...

The Maryland Pickers responded very quickly to a request, came to survey the job quickly, and got everything removed and cleaned up within a week. The price was fantastic. I would absolutely use them again if I need more junk removed or hauling services.

Vince listened to what I thought I needed and made suggestions to guide me to what I really needed, which I very much appreciated. For example, I thought the demolition would take away the chain link fence around the retaining wall and it did not. The retaining wall has metal reinforcement...

Slow to set up site survey ($35) then they showed up a little late for the actual work but were done within 3 hours. I inspected work upon arriving home and found that although the sides had been caulked, there were several 1/4 gaps along the outside and inside of the door frame running approx 1...
