Do I need a land survey?
Looks like I’m buying a place on 7 acres. It is a small neighborhood- and each home is on at least 5 acres. The survey recorded with the county was done 30 years ago and shows “my” land covering half of the shared road through the neighborhood.
A satellite view of the property shows my land lines actually miss the shared road. This was done with the hunting App OnX.
The deed to the property says I own half way into the road.
The price of the survey is about 2 grand but they are saying it could take a month to get it done.

The quote went from a ballpark of 2K to 6 grand.
I found a local title insurance company owned by an attorney. He said, he’ll look at everything & he will only offer title insurance if he can prove things are square.
So more to come.

6 grand to locate 4 corners? I was in the wrong business!

It’s 7 acres & 6 grand is with an “expedite” fee….
Or rather they probably think there’s a guy from Florida who will pay whatever number they think of.

Contact the surveyor who did the original and have it updated. They should have their own notes and pin locations to make it easier. If they are not available, find the one that bought they're business.
