Appraisal fees are not added to the cost basis. Appraisal fees are part of your loan acquisition fees *only* if an appraisal required by the lender. Typically they will be required by the lender as a condition of loan approval.
When selling property, the seller typically does not have any fees related to acquisition of the property, since they aren't acquiring anything - they're selling. But the seller could have fees associated with disposition of the property and such fees are typically included in the sales expenses incurred by the seller. (RE Agend commissions for example.) For fees associated with acquisition of the loan, that's on the buyer; not the seller.
For the buyer, fees associated with acquisition of the property are added to the cost basis of the property and, if business property they get depreciated over time. (rental property is business property in this aspect.)
For the buyer, fees associated with acquisition of the loan are amortized and deducted (not depreciated) over the life of the loan. For most, loan acquisition fees have to be entered as a separate asset, and entered correctly so they're amortized and deducted, instead of capitalized and depreciated. So if you check the assets/depreciation list (Form 4562 that prints in landscape format, titled "Depreciation and Amortization Report") and you don't see an entry for "Amortization", you need to enter your loan acquisition fees separately.
Again, the cost of a property survey is not generally added to the cost basis of the property. At least, I've never heard of a situation where it was. The survey cost is treated as a loan acquisition fee *IF* the survey was a requirement of the lender as a condition of loan approval. If it wasn't a requirement of the lender, then it's flat out not claimed anywhere on the tax return.
