IS IT NESSARY TO DO A SURVEY FOR A CONDO?
Greetings,
I'm looking to buy a townhouse Condo in Newark. I have already started talking with my attorney about some of the requirements, and he is suggesting that I do a survey for the condo. After reading up on the purpose of a survey, I don't think that it will be necessary since my condo doesn't really have any land or much outside area.
This would cost me an additional $750. If I was buying a house I would definitely pay to get this done.
Am I wrong? Is this something I should do, or is it not as big of a deal because its a condominium? He told me that at the end of the day it's my decision and it's optional.

No, you dont do surveys on condos. Is your attorney a real estate attorney?
