Hi, My name is Steve.
I am in the process of buying a block of land. This block of land has an easement which I was aware of and signed for as part of the contract. Since signing the contract I have had my own survey conducted on the land (owner of land allowed me to carry out survey), and the results have come back saying that I cannot build up to the easement outlined in the contract UNLESS I add piling (reinforcement of the slab) which will cost me between $5,000-$10,000.
I want to know;
- Do I have grounds to terminate the contract?
- Can I demand the seller or realestate agent pay for the piling as I want to build up to the easement I was aware of?
- If the original survey conducted and submitted to landgate is incorrect (which it is), who's fault is that?
Look forward to people sharing their knowledge on the topic!
