Who pays for a survey in a real estate deal?

In a real estate deal, the party responsible for paying for the survey can vary based on negotiations between the buyer and seller. Typically, the buyer pays for the survey to ensure the property meets their requirements and to confirm boundaries. However, in some cases, the seller might provide a recent survey as part of the sale, or they may agree to cover the cost as an incentive. Ultimately, it’s a matter of agreement in the purchase contract.
