We see a lot of documents in our office that are presented as surveys, but are not surveys. It is only a survey if it is stamped and signed by an Ontario Land Surveyor; if that is not what you have, don’t agree to provide a survey to a buyer. Also be careful about agreeing to provide a survey that shows the current location of all buildings and structures, because unless you built the house yourself, it is likely to only show the lot lines and not the house. You don’t want to be stuck getting a new survey made unless you truly want to provide that for the buyers.
