Homeowners lived next door to a vacant lot for years. Eventually, the neighbouring lot was sold to develop the land. The developers informed the homeowners that the hydro line serving their property ran across the vacant lot and would have to be moved.
The homeowners were not aware of the encroachment and it was not shown on any survey available at the time of purchase.
Luckily, the homeowner’s lawyer had recommended a TitlePLUS policy so the hydro pole was moved and TitlePLUS covered the cost.
