Attorney fees may be less than just the survey cost plotting all the improvements on 6 acres which a lender may require, do yourself and your parents a favor, see your attorney

In my state we used to have easements for things like power lines that were listed on entire sections of land with no surveys. 

Here we have subdivisions with pipe farms with streets in.Some have 30% houses being occupied.These properties are worthless to me.They sit on maybe 1/4th an acre.Taxes are say 600 a year and HOA is 150 a month.So I would be dropping 2k to 3k a year until the market recovers.If at the height of the market the lot sold for 18k and I buy for 5k.Then if I put 2k to 3k in holding costs each year for 4 years waiting for market to come back I will have 5k plus about another 10k in.Take out resale costs and I am making almost zero on the investment.Now mountain view,ocean,lake view,golf course lots that can be bought cheap is a different story.You need to survey the property and have title checked and insured when buying.The docs have a title or attorney draw up for you.No legal advice.

Discrepancies, conflicts in boundary lines, shortage in area, encroachments, or any other facts which a correct survey would disclose, and which are not shown by the public records.5.

My cost so far are just the purchase price for the property plus $450 settlement charges, $250 title search, $100 Admin expenses, $400 survey, $330 Title Insurance.I'm trying to get closing moved up.

Had a guy almost throw me off his RV/Marina yesterday because I showed him his own property survey and tried to explain to him that many of his RV sites were built on land he did not own!  

The design process can take 4-8 months depending on your feedback and the level of detail required, and permitting can take another 2-6 months (depending on the jurisdiction processes and amount of projects they need to review).Consider all the soft costs- surveys, civil engineers, architect, structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, permitting, etc., and have your architect consult with a MEP engineer after you get the survey back to ensure you have enough electrical service and water/sewer supply for the size of the home.

If they have a survey get it, if they don't have a survey done. 

Most agents are sending out email surveys theses days.Has your agent contacted all the previously interested parties?

But with no more stimulus and unemployment running out (unless refreshed) then right now some surveys are saying that June will not be as good.
