House Location Survey

By Haller & Blanchard & Associates

When people contact our office asking what kind of survey will they need for buying or refinancing a home, most of them are talking about a house location survey. After years of walking properties and helping homeowners through stressful deadlines, I’ve learned that this survey brings a lot of clarity to all parties.

A house location survey is designed to confirm where the house and visible improvements sit on the property. It shows the footprint of the home, driveways, sheds, decks, and anything else that’s clearly part of the lot. Most lenders and title companies require this survey before settlement because it protects everyone involved — especially the buyer.  read more
