A Land Survey is an important part of your home purchase. Just as you should have a well test, engineering inspection, and title insurance, a land survey can show problems before you purchase the home.
Title insurance alone does not “insure” the boundaries of your parcel. A land survey should reveal potential or existing problems, or let you know that everything is in order. It is good to know where your boundaries are. The realtor or prior owner might think they know, but only a surveyor can confirm the location of your boundaries.
For your own peace of mind (especially in this age of foreclosures, tax sales, and low home prices), contract with a surveyor.
