Check out your title and deed to your property. When I purchased my home years ago, I missed the clause which stated that the land which my home was built on is held by a holding company.
Needless to say, I'm moving to a more amenable location.
We have check deed and title... we own the land that the house came with. The house was partially finished when we purchase it and the builder had problems selling due to the steep windy driveway... house sits 1100' up... view is lovely and the forest is just grand... He didn't get the asking price... since I had the house appraised prior to making an offer... He did accept the offer we gave him plus, after inspection...and water testing it proved that the water had high iron content. Told him unless he pays 1/2 of the cost of whole house filter... I'm backing out of the deal. Needless to say... he accepted.
With this ruling... he can now turn around and bribe the locals... thus, we could loose it for the common good. it would make a lovely park or the Environ-terrorist can insist for the good of the enviro house should be torn down and land perserved. This scenerio can happen thanks to the ruling.
This makes me curious. So all you own is the house itself? Do you have an easement for you to access your building, or can the owner of the land on which it sits capriciously deny you access to your building?
