Location Surveys and Boundary Surveys
On February 2nd, we had the pleasure of partnering with Bill Feller from McSteen Land Surveyors. There was a ton of great information presented! Specifically, the differences between a Mortgage Location Survey and a Boundary Survey.
Here is a little Chart to assist in comparing the two*:
| Mortgage Location Surveys | Boundary Surveys |
Price | $185-275 | $1,400 + |
Accuracy | Plus or Minus ft | Plus or Minus .02 feet |
Turnaround | Several Days | Several Weeks |
Standards | Provides Substantial Proof that the property is there and within property lines for Title & Lending Purposes | Determines the boundary lines for the property owner’s use (sometimes these are necessary for the county’s use if a new legal description is required) |
Shows | -Boundary Lines according to the Legal Description -all about the title company provided information & identifying potential title issues | -Boundary Lines as calculated by Surveyor -all about the Surveyor research and calculations to determine boundary lines |
