In reply to the discussion: Neighbor refuses to grant easement for powerline to new home next door. [View all]flvegan
(64,730 posts)I find it tough to believe, in a brief view of the property and the area that there's no utility easement for electricity to the property. Without looking at the plat (assuming it is indeed platted land), at least. What I would be more inclined to believe is that they can get an electric hook up, just not one with enough capacity. Just a guess, don't know much about electricity, but I do know quite a bit about real property title.
No clue how they got permits for this huge place without a proper easement. The article states that the neighbor WAS going to give an easement but the property, held in trust, had interests that balked at the idea. And that, my friends, is how a lawsuit begins.
While the power line might devalue the property, most normal people purchase easements like this for that reason if that easement is needed. Somewhere, the dollars don't add up.
