What are Land Surveys in General?
For thousands of years, societies have understood the importance of secure land boundaries. Whether it is an office building, retail center or an industrial plant, the purchase of real property is a major investment. That’s why it is important that a thorough boundary survey be done of the property prior to closing. Surveys can be a rather simple drawing of the property, or may entail very detailed depictions of every aspect of the property. If you are purchasing property, you should discuss with your attorney and lender exactly what type of survey you will need. If you are selling property and the buyer has asked you to provide a survey, you should learn a few things about the different types of boundary surveys before you agree to do so.
