Those of you who've been reading this for a while recall the continuing saga of my Idaho property. Well here the latest...
I just sold the northernmost lot. The buyer wanted a survey, so I had the outfit that'd done the other block do the lots on that block.
The buyer removed his contingency, accepted the offer and bought the lot a couple of weeks ago. *Today* (or maybe this weekend) he goes up to look at it and discovers that the sewer line that got put in a year or so back *crosses the property*!!! Which the did *not* have an easement for. It also makes the lot unbuildable.
Seems that the survey outfit the sewer district used is less than reputable. (The perils of going with the lowest bidder)
So, now the buyer is screaming and my realtor called me asking me what I wanted to do. One alternative is suing the sewer district (very tempting). Others are things like giving him a sweet deal on the lot just to the south (which is the most tempting right now).
On the bright side, I think this will make certain arguments about using the "road" the sewer district put in as well as whether I get hit with one assessment for the remaining lots or one per lot *much* simpler.
I've got to call the realtor back later with a decision. <sigh>
