It is only a problem if:
- you ignore and proceed and if it does not exist
- you need to build over it
- 24/7 access is needed
- you do not factor the loss of land in value because of the easement.
Due some due diligence and find out what the easement is for, how it impacts that property and if you are willing to live with its requirements.
A question for the developers,could you get away with building over an easement via eg: Qlder type house on stilts?
You really must contact council to find out what is in the easement and who it belongs to. The Title deed could be a source of information. Refer to attached document which details what could be built over an easement in different scenarios in Melbourne.
We have had experiences in projects where an easement was put in place for sub-divisions which didn't take place and was expunged. In another project, an easements which was reserved for future use by utilities was expunged after the authority confirmed that it was not required.
As others have mentioned, factor-in the value-added equation of the site with and without the easement, and the costs of dealing (expunging/building over) with the easement.
