If you're looking at acquiring a mixed-use, 30 unit building for $3M then yeah... they'll require a full commercial appraisal, an environmental report (might not need a Phase 1 here depending on what a quicker environmental survey brings up), and the others are fairly standard for a commercial or residential purchase.  

No one pays you for water & sewer lines, roads, underground utilities, surveying, marketing, and all the rest of it that goes with turning ground into structure.

Good luck having a seller accept that in a hot market where another buyer will ignore it.If it really concerns you have a Phase 1 environmental survey done and ask the local environmental specialist what they would recommend. 

I have certainly never been surveyed.
