When purchasing a residential property, never take it for granted that fences, stone walls, and other border indicators necessarily mark the boundaries of the property accurately. Only a property survey conducted by a professional surveyor should be relied upon to locate property lines. Without a survey, prospective buyers may be relying on the wrong information. If so, any assumptions that they may be making with regard to future expansion possibilities may be called into question. While the cost of a professional survey is not consequential, it can certainly pay for itself many times over if it serves to uphold the buyer's assumptions about adding on to the house at a later date.
Hint: Homeowners often build walls and fences without having their properties surveyed, which could spell trouble for subsequent owners of the properties.
If you are considering the purchase of a home, you may feel overwhelmed by the numerous aspects of acquiring property. As a Realtor and Principal Broker of VantagePoint Realty and a member of 3 Multiple Listing Services, I have a successful track record helping buyers achieve their real estate goals with the least amount of confusion and stress.
