survey: Title Insurance and Surveys - 09/15/10 11:42 AM
Many lenders no longer require a survey.  While most Realtors and closing attorneys recommend them, cash strapped buyers often opt not to purchase a survey. 
Here is another reason to get a survey: The title insurance you buy will cover only the lender and excempt the buyer.  In other words....if there is a title dispute you are on your own.
Please get a survey when purchasing property!

survey: Another Reason to Get A Survey - 07/15/10 02:44 PM
While touring a property with a client, we noticed a fairly recently built building near by with a condemned sign on it.  The property we toured was appealing to my client, so of course, she wanted to know what the issue was with the condemned building.
My inquiries turned up the fact the duplex had been built in the Duke Power easement.
How could that have happened?  NO SURVEY!  No one ever lived in the property.  It will now have to be moved or torn down. 
How it got a building permit and passed inspections up to completion is another story.
