Finding A Surveyor’s Certificate
A surveyor’s certificate is a drawing that shows the position and size of any buildings in relation to the property lines of the plot of land that confirms or refutes whether all buildings fall inside the property and whether any buildings encroach on the property.
It is often confused with a plot or site plan which only shows where the house was supposed to be built. A surveyor’s certificate can only be completed after construction is completed and it may need to be updated for older properties where a garage or addition may have been added.
Depending on the property size and location the cost will generally be around four or five hundred dollars. However, not every financial institution requires them. Also, if the current owner has a recent, legible, copy, it, along with an affidavit prepared by your lawyer, will satisfy most financial institutions
