What is a mortgage survey?

A Mortgage Survey—sometimes called a Mortgage Inspection Survey or Loan Survey—verifies the size and boundaries of a property as part of the mortgage approval process. The survey shows improvements such as buildings, fences, and driveways, as well as any visible encroachments or easements that could affect ownership or title.

This document helps ensure that the property being financed matches the legal description and that no boundary issues exist before closing.

When You Need a mortgage Survey

A mortgage survey is typically required when:

  • Purchasing or refinancing a home or commercial property

  • Verifying improvements for lenders or title companies

  • Confirming setbacks and easements before construction

  • Ensuring property compliance with zoning and legal boundaries

Even when not required, many buyers choose to get a mortgage survey to identify potential issues before they become costly surprises.

Our mortgage Survey Process

  1. Research: We review deeds, plats, and county records to establish property boundaries.

  2. Field Measurement: Our surveyors use GPS and total stations to measure and locate all visible improvements and property corners.

  3. Drafting: Our CAD team creates a clear, scaled drawing showing the property, improvements, and any encroachments or easements.

  4. Delivery: You receive a signed, sealed Mortgage Survey Plat suitable for lenders, attorneys, or title companies.

SPG ensures every mortgage survey meets Georgia state standards and lender-specific requirements.
