Permits & Surveys!
Buyer Tip: Permits & Surveys
The title company checks for open permits, if you so request it. If you do not, the responsibility passes to you at time of purchase. Some sellers do not even realize there are open permits for work supposedly completed years ago! A good example of this is a new pool install, and the final inspection was never completed. Hopefully, it is fine but that is why you have it inspected through a permit. If you are getting a loan, the lender will require a survey. Be sure to look at it closely for neighbor encroachments, your own encroachments, and that all easements are honored. Any of these could turn into a potential problem for you.
