Should I get a survey
Hi BP
Looking to purchase a duplex I have under contract. Do you typically purchase a survey when purchasing a new property? If so, what type and why?
I understand easements could be an issue, but my understanding is I would find out about these on title report.
Any feedback or personal experiences are appreciated.
