Yeah, surveys can definitely save headaches down the road, but I've also seen some that weren't exactly bulletproof. Had a client once whose survey missed an old easement—turned into a real mess when the city wanted access years later. So even with surveys, things can slip through the cracks sometimes. Makes me wonder, has anyone here ever had issues pop up despite getting a survey done? Curious how common that actually is...
Yeah, I've seen similar things happen too. Had a buyer once who got a survey done, everything looked fine, then two years later they found out their neighbor's fence was actually about 3 feet onto their property. Wasn't a huge deal, but still annoying to sort out. Surveys are great tools, but they're not foolproof—sometimes older records or weird boundary lines can sneak past even the best surveyors. Just part of the fun of real estate, I guess...
Yeah, that's a good point—surveys definitely aren't bulletproof. I've heard of similar cases where old easements or rights-of-way weren't properly documented, causing headaches down the line. Makes me wonder if title insurance would cover something like that... probably depends on the specifics. Either way, it's always smart to double-check property lines yourself if you can, especially before putting up fences or sheds. Better safe than sorry later on.
