ahkelly Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I am currently dealing with a landlord who is quite possibly the most relaxed/old-school individual I have ever had to deal with, who prefers to negotiate verbally and won’t deal in writing because he can’t read well, even though he has some prime real-estate here in Houston specifically on Washington Ave. Any how a client and I have put an offer down on one of his properties which he has no survey, plans or drawings for. Is there any way to get a survey from the city? Does anyone have experience doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards,AK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brhaltx Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I don't think the city has any of that; property records are, I think, all county. You'd start with the county clerks' office and look at the plat; you can probably find most of that information on HCAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 If you want an actual survey, you will probably have to pay a surveyor to do one. The county records do not generally contain surveys of each lot, in my experience. It's worth having hte surveyor do the jobin any case, since he will mark the corners and boundaries, which will let you see whether or not there are any encroachments from neighboring properties.
