Typically, your house and land represent your largest assets. Therefore, you need to know what you are purchasing. Obtaining a survey may be the most important action you take before you close the deal on any purchase. Only a survey map made by a licensed land surveyor can depict what you are purchasing. Your surveyor will perform research, survey the property, and prepare a survey map that will reveal the following:

● If others have rights to use your property through easements for utilities or rights-of-way.

● The location of improvements such as buildings, fences, driveways, walkways, and swimming pools.

● Potential encroachments may cause disputes, such as a fence or driveway of a neighboring property.

● Whether or not the legal description correctly describes the property.

You must know the boundaries of your land before you buy it. A survey explains your purchase by revealing encroachments or other irregularities that might lead to future legal disputes. You may elect to have your surveyor mark the corners of your site with survey monuments or prepare a FEMA Elevation Certificate.

It will help protect your investment by ensuring you are building on your property.

A mislocated fence, driveway, carport, or pool can cause legal problems and extra construction costs.

Before you build, contract a licensed land surveyor to determine your property boundaries. The surveyor can work with you, the contractor, and the municipality to ensure that your improvements are constructed in the correct location, eliminating conflicts from improperly placed improvements (NYSAPLS).

This survey does not establish property corners on the ground and cannot be used for building/design purposes.
