In reply to the discussion: Neighbor refuses to grant easement for powerline to new home next door. [View all]Hassin Bin Sober
(26,871 posts)38. The whole story stinks.
They say they can't borrow money due to the situation. So are we to believe they paid cash?
If they have a loan, I find it hard to believe the lender wouldn't front the additional $28k to make the house habitable.
If they own it free and clear, they certainly can find someone to lend them a small amount. The vig might be a little high but the lender has to wet his beak a little.
I used to know a couple of trust fund babies when I worked worked in the mortgage business who used to cherry pick deals like these. They specialized in lending to rich fuck-ups.
Heck, I'll loan them the money. I'm gonna need $56k back though.

I just looked at it online. I'd troll the shit out of anybody who built that lot dominating eyesore.

I agree. The power company doesn't usually need permission to work in an easement.
