Home buying question?

[whitetrash]

I'm looking at a property that has a shop that was built over the building line. Doesn't goes into the easements. Is this something that could give me trouble down the line?

Yes but only if the other property owner raises a stink about it. You could always go to them and ask them to grant you an easement. A title company probably isn't going to insure that situation without papering it up though.

While your getting an easement i'd make sure it was permitted as well.

The Nieghbor on that side has one built obviously past the line so he really couldn't say anything. The whole Nieghborhood is full of shops and rv/boat parking so I don't see others having an issue either

The title company will just take exception to that portion of the building over the building line. It's a building line, not a property line and if it isn't by much, it shouldn't be a problem. No easement will be needed since it doesn't cross the property line. The lender may have a slight problem with it but I see them close all the time with no problem.

Oh I see what he is saying. It violates the setback. What BradM said is correct.

Ok thank you sir

Yeah on the survey it's listed as building line but my googling said they can be called set backs.
