Prescriptive easement shows in the record

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Area Pro Realty NorCal

According to latest on discussed Danville,CA prescriptive easement of backyard sewer main, my source at Landamerica Commonwealth informs me the CCCSD resolution amendment indeed shows in the public record on each of the listed parcel #'s. I have not personally confirmed this but if true my thank you to the responsible parties at CCCSD.

I don't really know if my letter to First American precipitated this chain of events. I do know that the positive results were achieved without lawyers or acrimony. CCCSD acted as a responsible party within the constraints of the situation.

Prescriptive easements are grey area in real estate. No public record usually exists of these easements, even when it's a sewer main in the backyard when most sewer mains are at the street. This amendment in the public record should now inform potential buyers of this very real compromise of property value and utility.
