"No Work" Affidavit "No Work" Affidavits will be issued prior to starting your project. These affidavits are important to the lending agency handling the project.  This is to ensure that no work is done before the act of sale that could impact the lending agency for the client.  We go through great pains to walk the property.  We time and date each affidavit and each affidavit is certified by a licensed land surveyor.
