I figured this title would get some hits
A property I am looking at in Perth has a common laneway/easement about 5m wide running along the back between the lots.
The vendor tells me it's a hang over of a bad town planning decision, council have blocked it off but is a liability they want to get rid of.
The vendor is in the process of getting added to his lot. Although not finalized yet, the land area has been advertised including this extra land.
He tells me that all council want for it is a few bucks (~500) to cover survey and other costs.
Sounds too good to be true... Anything I should be wary of? Any special conditions I should include?
