Upcoming Foreclosures

How can I find the physical border of my newly purchased real property?

The contract says the lot is 2 acre. There is no detailed description of the boundary of the lot.

  1. You'll have to go to your local government, get the legal boundry info, and then hire a surveyor to stake out the boundries.
  2. Actually there is, its called a legal description and it is right there in your mortgage and on your tax bill. If you are truly concerned about exactly where your property lines are, you can pay several hundred dollars and have a survey done.
  3. Unless you're a trained surveyor, you can't. You can look up records on your counties land records website (most have them now) and get a good estimate because their will be lengths indicated, but you will not no exactly unless a surveyor finds key landmarks and that at times can be very difficult. Surveyors are pretty inexpensive and well worth it. And no, I'm not a surveyor. Good luck.
  4. Pay to have a Survey done. Should be $150.
  5. It is described on your survey. You DID have it surveyed before you bought it, didn't you?
  6. Are you serious, you bought LAND without a survey being done?
  7. I would contact the former owner. Ask him/her if there are any physical landmarks on or around the property that mark the edges. For example, I own 5 acres that is not square or rectangular. There is a tall birdhouse that is very near the end of my property on the northwest side. When people want to know where my land ends/begins I point to the birdhouse as a starting place.

  8. i would first check in with the township most townships have copies of the survey of that property. in most cases they will have somewhare on your property a post on one of the corners. as a starting point. once you find the post and have a copy of the survey you can get an aproxamation. if you cannot locate any of this you may want to contact somone to do a survey they usally charge aprox 150.00 and you can ask them to mark the corners of yout lot with posts!
