North York Real Estate Listings - Home Surveys

A survey of your home consists of a bird's eye view drawing of your home and yard. It should show a Plan Number and lot description. It will also require a date and the signature of the Ontario Surveying Company who surveyed it. You should be prepared as your purchaser will probably request a copy of your survey in their offer.

Should you be having difficulty sourcing your survey, try checking in:

• Your safety deposit box
• Your bank who holds or held your mortgage
• The lawyer who helped you buy the house
• Your neighbours (Old surveys often show 4 or 5 houses - your property may well be on theirs)

The cost of a new survey ranges in price from $700.00 to over $1000.00 for ravines and difficult lots. Talk to your lawyer about title insurance as a possible alternative ($250.00). You always have the option of selling your home without a survey and letting the buyer figure it out.
