You’re about to buy a property. It is important to require a survey to fully disclose the extent of title of the property before the transaction. This could be for your own information, for financing approval, or to simply buy insurance against defects in title to get the release of mortgage funds. Your choice depends on the type of property being acquired, the level of comfort you have in buying a home without a full understanding of the potential disputes or problems regarding its use, and the type of assurance a lender may require before releasing funds.
