ok, I've read enough since my last post.
Here is the deal.
My agent said no judge would uphold any easement or assumed possession because someone parked somewhere for 7 or more years without permission thus giving them the right to park there forever.
It's a minister and his wife and son. I'm not clear on who drives the car they like to park "3 wide" like race horses headed for home.
If the car leaves or arrives at a time of day, and the shutting of the door bothers me if I am sleeping, I'll give them a notice that a fence or a pole in the middle of this 7 foot space is going up.
I have four 6 foot fence sections and no place to use any.
My insurance man told me in front of his employees, damage to the man's car from a "healthy" tree in a storm is an act of God and the damage would be paid by the man's comprehensive insurance or his own pocket.
If his car caused personal injury, then my home owner's liability would cover that so my agent implied it is impossible for me to be liable in any way unless, I was working on the roof and dropped a tool on his car, etc.
I am making a very lowball offer next week on this house. I'm providing a list of defects.
#1 defect is that Fannie Mae has been negligent as owner of the property in not putting up a fence to stop trespassers. This negligence is their attempt to let someone else inherit and assume liability for property damage or personal injury. I've stated that I will provide the materials and the labor and they the seller will inform the neighbor that for them to sell the property a fence is going up. I doubt they take my offer. They refused my last offer. They wanted 40, I offered 35, they countered with 39 (weren't they nice to do that) and now they want $34,900.
I'm offering 29 with reasons, through my agent.
Someone mentioned ministers from parts unknown. Well, the lady across the street parked her car on her own curb. The minister's wife went over and put a note on the ladies windshield demanding she not park there any more because of fear that she'd back into the car.
So, the minister's wife ain't no angel.
I don't care if they never speak to me, if I put up a fence or nice 4 inch pipe full of concrete in the middle of that 7 foot space. He's actually parking on 3 lots, the front end of his car is on school district property, then the middle of his car on my lot, and the rear end on his lot. This lot is only .07 acres so the reason his little car is on 3 lots is that my backyard is only 4 feet, property line to back wall. When he has his car parked on the 12 inch square bricks he made as a driveway, the right side of his car is only 2 feet from the corner of my house.
The couple on the other side are disabled and very sick. They won't cause any issues.
I was trying to create a user name for a site and I kept being told the name was already taken so I used the name of a friend I had in Isreal.
Naeem...........so now you know I'm from the state of S.C.
They won't take my offer, but who knows, a month from now, they may go down to 30. They had one other offer and when he found out he had no backyard he walked. I am disabled and can not cut grass, so the backyard is perfect for me, and the entire grassy area back there is kept cut by the owner, the school district.
