The Different Uses of a Land Survey
Purposes vary as to why people hire a land surveyor. Some want to resolve a land dispute, while others need a land survey to obtain a building permit. The following is a brief discussion of the different uses of a land survey.Acquiring Building or Construction Permit
A building or construction permit is a requirement before you can remodel a house or build on a plot of land. This document is proof that your project complies with the local building or construction code. If you start building structures without a permit, you’re violating a local ordinance, and authorities have the right to take down your project. When you apply for a building or construction permit, you need to hire a licensed surveyor to survey the property. A survey points out the stability of the terrain, boundaries, encroachments, easements, etc. If there are any problems like overlapping property lines with another, they can be resolved right away before you spend your money on the project.Purchase of Real Estate Property
Don’t be hasty to make an offer to buy a real estate property without a land survey. You should ask the agent for a property profile first so that you’ll know the property’s legal description and features. Then, commission a licensed surveyor to do an interpretation of the property profile and field inspection. This way you can ensure the property lines, size, and characteristics of the property you’re buying. Don’t rely on the agent’s or owner’s lip service, nor on a previous survey because land changes over time, and the old survey might be inaccurate. Conducting a new survey on the property will expose underlying issues and give you peace of mind in the long run.Getting a House Loan
A mortgage lender often requests a survey on a home you want to buy to make an informed decision before approving your loan. The survey will point out to the lender how valuable the property is. Then, it will give the lender an idea of the rate and amount of your mortgage. The surveyor will inspect to ascertain the size, characteristics, improvements, easements, and condition of the property. The survey also determines whether the property complies with the local building and zoning code.Getting an Elevation Certificate for Flood Insurance
For folks living in a flood zone, it’s recommended to get insurance to help cover the losses caused by flooding. In this case, you need to get the services of a surveyor to provide you with an elevation certificate, which is a requirement to acquire flood insurance. A land survey will verify the lowest point of elevation, location, and characteristics of the building. When the survey is complete, you’ll get an elevation certificate, which details whether your property is in a flood-prone area or not. The insurance company will refer to this document to calculate how much insurance coverage you’ll get.Surveying Services We Offer in Sewall’s Point
