The process of putting together a new fence requires a few steps. First things first, you must realize that more effort is involved in this project beyond collecting the tools and supplies you need. Sometimes, it’s much easier to hire a professional fencing company to deal with it so you can have more time to spend with your family on the weekends. Here is what you’ve got to know about property surveys.
What Does It Entail?
Let’s begin by talking about how a property survey is supposed to work. Essentially, it’s a diagram representing a flyover of the land you own. This way, you’ll be able to see all of the dimensions, utilities, typography, and changes at a glance. Suppose you run a ranch, and the plot you maintain is too big to inspect by walking or riding a horse. That’s where a survey can come in handy. You’ll be able to ascertain the location and disposition of water sources, zoning ordinances, entry and exit signs, relevant easements, and even the site of forgotten burial grounds that you don’t want to disturb.
When You Need One
While you aren’t obligated by the law to arrange a property survey, mortgage lenders could ask you to have one performed before they give you money for your new fence. Plus, this will save you money on future home loans and property taxes or disputes with neighbors. Right-of-way and easements might also come into play when driveways, sidewalks, and roads are included in your plans. Knowing where your property begins and ends is also important before you can put up your fence – that way, you won’t violate any rules or regulations set forth by your community HOA.
How Much Does It Cost?
In all honesty, we are hesitant to estimate a cost at face value. Every fence, new or not, is unique. Expect to pay several hundred dollars – but an exact figure is something we cannot provide until we can quote you for the work you hire us to complete. Referrals and references can narrow down your choices during the research phase of getting your new fence installed.
Outlining Necessary Boundaries
Physical boundaries are vital parts of coexisting with everyone around you, for the sake of your patience and theirs. Although the costs can seem high, they are worth the investment. A real estate agent could mislead you, even by accident. The only exception to this is when you live in a newly constructed home.
