Always get a survey
I hear a lot of people say that they don't get surveys. I am working on buying a house now where an issue popped up. This is going to be a flip so I'd traditionally have to pay for a survey on the final sell anyway. I'm glad on caught this issue on the front end rather than the backend. I think it will be easy to resolve IF I can get the guy next door to cooperate. My lesson- ALWAYS get a survey.
