MORTGAGE LOCATION SURVEY
(Chapter 4733-38 Ohio Administrative Code)

This survey is the simplest service provided by a Land Surveyor in Ohio and is certified to the lending institution and/or title insurer. This service provides no warranty to the consumer and does not allow for the physical staking out of the property boundaries. This service is conducted for the purpose of insuring to the mortgage lender that there are no adverse survey issues that would affect the future marketability of the mortgage premises.

STAKE OR BOUNDARY SURVEY
(Chapter 4733-37 Ohio Administrative Code)

A stake or boundary survey is conducted for many reasons and allows for the property corners to be identified by steel property markers. This is done for the purpose of physically establishing the property lines for such things as structural improvements and additions, fence installation and property line dispute settlements. This service does not provide information (certified drawing and improvement location) needed by the Title Insurance Company; however, these services can be included upon request.

DID YOU KNOW?

Once you as a buyer take title to a piece of property without a survey, all problems become your responsibility.

Through the years, changes in the Real Estate and Mortgage Lending industries have caused the homeowner/purchaser not to be required to purchase a mortgage survey, thus leaving you, the consumer, unaware of potential survey problems that may exist. We at Tri-State Location Services feel that this may be a disservice to you and would like to offer you the opportunity to purchase this service directly.

Is Your Driveway On Your Property?

• Is your property free and clear of encroachments?
• Are you aware of any easements on your property?
• Does anything on your property violate any such easements or restrictions?
• Is your property, by description, a closed figure?
• Is your house or property within a flood zone?
• Is part of your building, driveway, patio, etc over the property line?

How can you be sure none of these problems exist? Only a licensed professional surveyor can tell you. Once you as a buyer take title to a piece of property without a survey, all problems become your responsibility.
