In the state of Florida, while it's not obligatory by law to obtain a land survey before buying or selling a residential property, it's highly advisable to have one conducted. Opting for a survey offers multiple advantages, such as defining property boundaries, identifying easements if mentioned in the plat of record or upon request, pinpointing improvements, and more. Acquiring a proficient residential property survey during a real estate transaction comes with several benefits.

‍

Ensuring Accuracy of Closing Documents

Ensuring the property described in the closing documents matches the one a buyer intends to purchase is a crucial concern. Discovering later that a portion of the backyard isn't rightfully theirs can be distressing. Undertaking a residential property survey mitigates this issue. The survey acts as a safety net for buyers, providing peace of mind and clarity when committing to a property purchase. Additionally, First Choice Surveying goes the extra mile by furnishing potential buyers with an aerial photograph of the property, offering a comprehensive view beyond simple diagrams.

Identifying Easement Locations

Our land surveys comprehensively display any easements linked to the property, as noted on the title commitment or in the recorded plat. These easements could encompass elements like underground utility pipes, electrical lines, or municipal access points. By having insight into potential easements, prospective buyers can make well-informed decisions regarding their purchase.

Defining Property Boundaries

Pinpointing and marking property boundaries is a vital aspect of a land survey. This process safeguards against any encroachments on the property. Understanding where the property lines lie is pivotal for potential homeowners.
