What is the name of your state? TN
We purchased a home about 18 months ago. We bought this home specifically because of the size of the yard, location of the house (cul-de-sac), and a couple of other things. This home didnt have a pool, but we were going to put one in.
We recently discovered (during the pool company doing their stuff), that a pool cannot be put onto this property as a city sewer runs through the property. There is a 20ft easement and that is preventing us from being able to add the pool.
THIS IS NOT GOOD! We would have never even thought of purchasing this home had we known this information.
This was not disclosed to us at all. I have gone through signed/executed documents for the sale of this home to us (contract, title policy, closing documents, etc), and this is no where to be found where it was disclosed. The only thing the title policy says is standard language. It doesn't mention anything specifically about this easement. It does state something about what is recorded at the county office (again, standard language).
The county has a plat showing the easement. We got this three days ago. The title policy came 5 months after closing on the home, and with no copy of the plat.
We didnt know, it wasn't disclosed, and the city shows where the previous home owners called them to locate the lines about a month before they put the house on the market...hinting to me, they knew.
What would you do?
