Many lending institutions require Mortgage Location Surveys to check for obvious problems with the parcel such as encroachments or zoning violations, but they are not intended to be a “Boundary Survey”. They are primarily intended to insure the title company and financial lending institutions that the existing improvements are indeed on the property and are not located within existing easements or right-of-ways. It is highly recommended that you do not construct buildings, fences, landscaping, etc. from this type of survey.
