Tip 14-2012: Surveys & Plats
We have recently
experienced problems with new physical surveys being different from what
the parties thought were the location of improvements in relation to
the actual property lines. For example, a driveway that encroaches on
the adjacent property or a fence within the local Right of Way.
Please try to
provide the settlement attorney with a copy of any existing physical
survey. Sometimes, even a plat of the boundary lines can be helpful. If
no physical survey exists for the property, please explain to your
client that it is extremely important to know where the house and all
improvements are located on the property and if there are any
encroachments or set back violations.
Therefore, ordering a new physical survey may be necessary. Otherwise, the Purchaser is buying the Seller's problem!!
