Reasons to Have Your Property Surveyed BEFORE You Buy It

Having your property surveyed BEFORE you make such a large purchase and commitment can save you a lot of trouble in the future. A land survey lays out your property lines and shows you where your property ends and your neighbors begins. Surveys aren’t always required before buying property but can be a very good thing to have on record. If you are looking to buy your dream house on the best property, call one of the most experienced real estate agents at the Lake of the Ozarks, Judi Cloyd.

Here are some possible reasons to have your property surveyed before you buy it.


Reason 1

Make resolving property line disputes much easier.
Have you ever tried to put up a fence on your property but your neighbor got really upset with you? Your fencing could have possibly been on their property. Referencing your land survey is the quickest way to end these sort of disputes because it can clearly point out where your property line lies. This can also go for hunting. Have you ever noticed someone hunting on your land that wasn’t invited? Did they claim that they weren’t on your land? Pull out your land survey and prove them wrong. These are both problems that can be solved by a land survey, so it’s a good idea to have one on record even before you buy the property.


Reason 2 

If you are looking to build a house on your property, know what property lines you can’t build outside of.
If you are building a house you will want to avoid accidentally building a corner of your house on someone else’s property. A land survey can clear that up quickly.


Reason 3

Identify possible roads that your property may be blocking your neighbors from.
If your property is blocking your neighbors from reaching a public road, your land survey could show you. In this case, your neighbors may be granted permission to walk across your land to get to the public road.


Reason 4

To negotiate the best price for the property you are trying to buy.
If a property is for sale and a certain amount of acreage is advertised, but you have a land survey performed and you find that the property isn’t quite as large as what they are advertising, then you may be able to negotiate the price down.
