Some questions developer wanting to lay sewage
| # | Post |

| 1 | So house behind was bought by a developer and they want to put a second house on back. So if i let the guy lay the pipes would that make it harder for me to sell or affect the price i would get . thanks dadtofive - 2021-06-28 13:38:00 |

The easement will restrict your use and enjoyment of the property hence the offer of money. How intrusive it will actually be depends on the site, location and any future plans yourself. If it say restricted further building or subdivision that is significant. If it has no real detriment then the value should not be affected.

| 4 | Well, all depends how much dosh they want to pay and the why/not. Also depends where on your land it will sit and what it will affect above the area. I would talk to a drainage engineer /council first, talk about you selling your house and the subdivision sewage etc, what effect, could you tap into it with your subdivision and save money too, all are good questions. get the council plans and see where the storm water and sewage runs, good to know these things for future. keep communication open, ask if they want to buy your property too. msigg - 2021-06-28 15:52:00 |
| 5 | Wherever sewage pipes are laid they need to be able to be dug up in the future for whatever reason. So that means no one can build over them and if for example they use your driveway you might not be able to have access to your home if they dig up the sewage pipes to do repairs. Also no trees over a certain size or ones with certain root systems either. If you are intending on selling you might devalue your property. strathview - 2021-06-28 16:08:00 |

Thats what i would do, offer it for sale to him, he might grab it so he can put three or four on the two house sites. vivac - 2021-06-28 18:12:00 |

By all means say no, but make sure you have the funds to defend your position in court. Waste water is deemed critical infrastructure so you can only stop it by proving there is a better way to do it. tony9 - 2021-06-28 18:28:00 |

I don't believe the lot would be categorised as landlocked. The landowner would have created the landlocked situation by subdividing even assuming consent would be granted without showing access for services (which it would not).

| 15 | Tricky situation - if you are intending to sell in the next year it would perhaps be wise to say no initially and then consult a lawyer for the pros and cons. If you offer to sell to the developer with a long settlement date this too could have consequences. The way prices are going the amount you would get finally may not be enough to purchase another property. Also if your property is subdivisable there would possibly be the need to lay fresh sewage and water pipes anyway. Best solution is maybe to explore all the options before making a decision.

Are foul sewer pipes from a single dwelling "critical infrastructure'? i didn't get the impression from the OP that this was a sewer main. pico42 - 2021-06-29 10:35:00 |

Most properties have some sort of easement etc., many are likely blissfully unaware of it and they have no reason to get stressed about it. tony9 - 2021-06-30 18:18:00 |
