Why should I get a recent survey?
Since purchasing a home is one of the largest investments most of us will make, you should seriously consider getting a very recent land survey. A few years ago, an industry change took place in which title companies, in certain situations, will allow the buyer to use an old survey for the closing transaction. While this approach decreases the buyers closing costs, it begs the very important question; should you trust it? Consider that a typical survey costs about one-half of one percent, or less, of the purchase price, compared to a realtor’s 3% or 6% and a loan origination of 1%.
