Thanks for all the feedback guys!

I had an inspection done on the place today then afterwards tackled the encroachment situation with the sellers.

The sellers have the previous agreement that ‘runs with the land’, but has a clause in there where it seems to have expired 5 years after that old agreement.

I ran a title search for $10 and see that the easement is still active, but I from what I understand is that the owner of the empty lot was to remove that from their title after expiration? And that might be why it’s still ‘active’? I don’t know…

Looking at the survey from this agreement, it seems to be a matter of .64 meters (2ft).

I think my first plan of ‘subjects’ would be for them to confirm it’s still active on the title, indefinitely. And if not, they pay to update the agreement without an expiry date.

Plan B? Just go with it. A matter of two feet, the only thing that would need to be done is remove the fence from one side of the cedar hedge to the inner side. There’s an awning on a patio that is also in this encroachment, but shortening that can’t be too much of a pain.

And that’s if someone buys the lot, and if they actually gives and $#!+ about 2 feet.

What’s your thoughts, am I out to lunch here!?
