Houses and land purchases in Coral Springs are big-ticket items. Coral Springs is a desirable area and the typical home costs around $490,000.

This means that most prospective homeowners will need to seek a loan through a bank or lender. Generally, most lenders will want to have the house and property appraised by a Coral Springs surveyor to validate it’s worth the purchase price.

Banks and other mortgage providers do not want borrowers to pay more than the property is worth. This is an upside-down mortgage, which means the borrower owes more than they could sell the property. 

A survey is a typical part of the home appraisal process. In addition, it also has the added benefit of reassuring you about your purchase. If our technicians find anything that has cause for concern, they will promptly inform you.

The most common requests for surveys we carry out are land, location, and boundary surveys for residents buying and selling properties.

Buying a home is one of the most expensive and important decisions most people make in their lifetime. So, you want to be sure you know exactly what you’re buying.

A complete land and boundary survey will do this for you. If you need to know more about what’s involved and anything specific to your property, we’re happy to discuss this with you.

In addition, the same applies when selling a property. By having a land survey carried out, you can show prospective buyers where your property boundaries are.

We’ve heard from many residents that this has helped them avoid potentially costly neighborly disputes. This is always going to be more than worth the cost of a survey.

There aren’t many areas in Coral Springs that will be in danger of flooding, but it’s still a requirement for some insurance companies.

We have extensive experience carrying out flood risk surveys of all kinds across South Florida. Moreover, our technicians will draw up the plans for whatever type of survey your insurance company needs.

We also perform surveys for some residents who want to make changes to their alterations to their property to prevent or decrease the likelihood of flooding.

If this is you, please contact us to find out what type of survey you need and how we can help.

If you have some land to work with, making improvements is a great way to add value to your property. In addition, it’s always nice to add a new swimming pool, fence, or water feature.

However, before making any changes to your land, we recommend giving our offices a call. There is a high likelihood that you will need a land survey to seek planning permission.

A land survey will also be able to identify if there are any easements and unknowns that could potentially cause a problem before construction starts.

Do you have room for an addition or plan to make structural changes to your property?

A survey will help you and your construction company plan structural changes on your property. It can also help you visualize the new construction along with the topographic information.

The last thing you want to do is to make any changes that violate local laws or infringe on your neighbor’s rights.

Furthermore, they have the right to request unlawful structural changes be undone. Which could cost you thousands in demolition and reconstruction costs. 

So, knowing where your easements are, if any, is a massive benefit of having a land survey carried out. Part of your buying terms would have mentioned that a party would need access to an area of your property.
