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>

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: 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: How long is a land survey good for?

• <div><p>Land surveys don&rsquo;t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don&rsquo;t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.</p></div>

Hi, he was very nice but I did not like him asking me why I wanted a appraisel. That is none of his business, I understand why he asked because he is in real estate also. He did not explain everything or anything to me. I got the appraisal done, and I do understand most of it, not all of it....

It went very well. I ordered the service before my trip, and I was provided a phone number for the driver, so that I could call once my plane landed back in Detroit. He then came to the baggage area, and was able to pick me up almost directly in front of the door I exited. One other passenger...
