Does Ingress onto property expire if the property is sold.?
I recently purchased a home in lount Vounty AL - on the original deed ( to the person I bought the home from ) Ingress and egresds is granted to the cable television company , as well as use for a headend ( cable signal distribution station) . As the deed reads the property ownership was retained and use was granted.
When I purchased the home, the ingress clause was not on my deed, but it does say that it is subject to easments, restrictions and rights of record. I got the tax bill for that prtion of theproperty and have paid it, the county says that the property is mine. My question is , do i have irght to restrict ingress, can i ask them to purchase the property or remove their buliding and equipment - what are my options? THey did not pay taxes on the building they erected , and they do not maintain the property or the gravel driveway they use to cross over to the buliding. I have been advised to maintain the property ( cut the grass ) , but I am unsure as to how to proceed.
When you purchased the property, a title search should have been done. It is the title company's responsbility to ensure good title and that you have clear title to the property. Hopefully ,you were
working with a real estate agent and a title search was done on the property. The title should
show whether there are any easements, use of the land, etc.
By the way, most property has easements for power, water, gas, etc. And I think most cable companies use
some of the easement to run cable. As far as the building, that is another issue.
You may need the services of a good real estate attorney.
