Hello all,
I've been considering buying a place that's 79'x82'. The lot it's on is only 126'x122' so there's little room for play. The house sits approx 20 feet from the road, so out front is enough room for 3 cars side by side, the well access point, and a small patch of grass.
I've been informed there could be POSSIBLE issues with the septic. It may work fine, but it may need complete replacement. Right now the septic is on the neighbour's property, and she is not willing to sell any of it or she can't get a permit to build.
I've received permission to access the septic to do all necessary work including replacement. The septic is to be inspected, however obviously has not been done yet.
Does anyone have any advice on the whole situation? I know the house was sold at one point, but when the buyer noticed the septic wasn't on the property, he bailed.
Is there any HUGE downside to it being there? And how much would one estimate for a replacement to be done?
Getting the mortgage for this house won't be a problem, but getting any repair costs up front may be... especially with it being nearly 10k sq feet, half of it not insulated, 2 oil furnaces, and winter coming up
Thanks for any input
