A few things worth adding to the checklist in this one. On the survey: ask the title company first whether there is already a recorded plat or survey in the file, because there often is and it costs you nothing. A new boundary survey is a separate thing you order and pay for, and it takes time — so if you want one, build it into your deadlines rather than discovering it during inspection. On the second route: drive it in the worst conditions the property sees, not the day you happen to be out there. If you are looking in good weather, ask the seller and the neighbors what it looks like after a storm or in snow. And the one almost nobody asks: can a full-size truck actually make it? A moving truck, a propane delivery, a septic pump truck, a concrete truck. Grade, turns and width decide that, and finding out after closing is expensive. Off Grid 3 covered the difference between a road existing and having the recorded right to use it — that one matters more than people expect, so watch it if you missed it. Next episode is septic: what the system was permitted for, versus how many bedrooms you are planning to use.
