After looking at several blocks of land in the estate, we narrowed
it down to a couple. One had an easement down the left hand side and wasn't too
slopey and the other was bigger but was much slopier and we found it harder to
choose a house that would fit on the block as easily due to the narrow
frontage.
After researching easements as much as we
could, we ended up going with Lot 25.
The easement hasn't caused too much trouble, as the house will be positioned closer to the other side boundary of the block. There is a sewer man hole in the front yard which has caused some headaches. After being told initially that it wouldn't be a problem, we were then told that the house would need to be pushed back further because of it. This meant a bigger front setback and a smaller backyard. We weren't too happy to say the least, but eventually we realised that other than getting a smaller house, there wasn't much other option.
