The average house price in White City is in the $470,000 range. This means that most homebuyers will take out a mortgage or another form of financing.

What they find is that most lenders will require a land survey before they will lend a large sum of money.

This is so they can be sure they’re lending the correct amount and their investment is secure should the worst case happen and you need to foreclose on the property. 

We have experience working with lenders and producing the drawing they require. Please let us know what your lender has asked you for, and we’ll be happy to advise you.

Cash is king, but so is knowledge. Even if you do not need financing for your home purchase, a White City surveyor can verify what you are paying for.

You are responsible for the maintenance of your property. So, knowing exactly where your boundaries are and the land you’re lawfully responsible for is crucial.

For instance, a fallen tree causes damage to phone lines and a neighbor’s vehicle. The landowner is financially responsible if the tree is within their boundaries, even though it is on the other side of the fence.

We don’t just help new homebuyers. We are frequently called out to help settle neighborly disputes for residents who have lived in their property for decades.

A survey will show the legal boundaries, and the surveyor will provide markers if there are none or existing ones are no longer visible.

With White City having the St. Lucie River running though, there are some properties that fall within what’s known as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).

For this reason, an insurance company may ask for an up-to-date flood risk survey to be carried out.

Alternatively, you may just want one performed for peace of mind. We’ve carried out thousands of flood surveys across the whole of South Florida. So if you’re unsure whether or not you need one or what this means exactly, please give us a call.

How does your dream backyard look? Before adding a pool or another water feature, you should check for easements or unknowns on your property.

A survey can also make it much easier for you or your landscape manager to estimate supplies and an accurate project deadline.

In cases of big renovations, your landscaper may require a survey to verify the information before breaking soil. 

In addition to this, your dream landscape may be scenic to you, but your neighbor likely has their own vision. The last thing you want is to have to undo any alterations because you didn’t do your due diligence.

You should always act on the side of caution to ensure you’re doing everything correctly before starting work. We can advise you of the appropriate survey you’ll need to have performed.

Adding a garage, another bedroom, or a workshop can add value to your property and help better accommodate a growing family.

But it’s crucial that you ensure any structural improvements are made on your land. The last thing you want to find out is that your new formal dining room is partially your neighbor’s land.

Land surveys check for easements and other unknowns. It will be expensive to find out halfway through a remodel that the terrain cannot hold the foundation.

The construction company will need to consider the topography and other nearby natural and artificial features before starting work.
