Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building at Willowdale 1300Jun 09, 2015 2:05 pm DiViS rk7 I was offered a block with 1.5m easement on the side and back ...this is for drain water easement ...what r the pros n cons of such a block...can we ask for a discount on such a block...given that nearly 70 sq mt is reserved for these easement requirements (in addition to standard easement) You will not get a discount on the block considering such a block would already be valued less then a block with the absence of the easements. However this section of the block may still be utilized for general landscaping etc. and you may build a shed or such an item within the easement boundary only to have an extra charge and/or damage to the items should council perform any emergency repair/maintenance. Pros are you can still use the section for anything that can be removed, Cons you cant build a pool up to the fence line, I have a 1.5m easement at the back of our block also so I have to result in getting a narrow pool on the side of the house (The troubles we live with lol). On the other hand I have never seen council come and destroy someones land to perform any works (If anyone has please share). Ditto, but 900mm easement on mine. If you are concerned about comparative price, just work it out per square M compared to a block without an easement in the same release, that will give you an idea of the valuation with easement Sent using Tapatalk Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess.
