Old At&T easement

Hi all! I’m hoping to see if anyone has any guidance on this

We are under contract for a property, no easements were disclosed by the seller or seller agent. As we were engaging a surveyor to survey the land, he mentioned that the play recorded on 1968 shows quite. A big At&T easement running through the property.

Couple things here

  1. The surveyor said he didn’t know if the easement was active or abandoned, how can I find out? If it’s active, how bad of a situation is this? Or how could it affect us ( I know we can’t build in it, but what about resale value?) if it’s abandoned or not in use, how can we get it waived?)
  2. The house preliminary seems like a part of it is sitting on the easement at least a little and our driveway as well. The house was built on 1969, so a year after that plat. What happens here then? Surely they won’t make us tear up a 55 year old home??

Thank you all, this is our first house and it’s so stressful that nobody mentioned this before putting an offer and being in this situation now.

We wanted to addd to the house and a pool sometime down the line and it’s like our dreams got crushed.

Thanks!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
