FAQs
Do I need a boundary survey before buying a home in Delaware?
Yes. In Kent County, a boundary survey is required for most property transactions. In New Castle County, it is not required, but we highly recommend one. A boundary survey confirms the exact property lines and ensures there are no disputes or encroachments before you close. This protects both buyers and lenders by providing a clear legal description of the land.
What is an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey and why is it important?
An ALTA survey is a detailed land survey that meets the standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). It is typically required for commercial real estate transactions to satisfy lenders and title companies, and it provides the highest level of detail available.
How long does a land survey take in Delaware?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the property. Most residential boundary or mortgage surveys can be completed within one to two weeks. Larger or more complex ALTA surveys may take longer. Auburn Valley Survey provides fast turnaround times without sacrificing accuracy.
What’s the difference between a mortgage survey and a boundary survey?
A mortgage survey is usually required by lenders during a home purchase or refinance. It verifies property boundaries and checks for improvements like fences or sheds that may affect financing. A boundary survey is more detailed and is used to officially establish property lines, often for legal disputes, construction, or land division.
