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>

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: How long does a land survey take to complete?

• <div><p>Depending on property size and complexity, usually 1-3 weeks.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>A land survey gives you information about the property boundaries, easements on the plot, dimensions, and, in some cases, topographical information. A land appraisal will often take these figures into account, but the purpose of a land appraisal is to determine the value of the land rather than the physical specifications.</p></div>

The initial surveyer of the work was very pleasant. Other people showed up to do the work. They worked well but were a little gruff/dismissive.
