An achievement. One day into my pre-retirement leave, we (between my husband and me) got something done. See, we have been eyeing this empty neighbouring sub-lot for sometimes. We have moved into this place for over 6 years and not once did we meet our 'neighbour'. Our property is on a shared lot, the empty lot is really a sub-lot among the many. Development had taken place all around us but this sub-lot remained vacant.
We knew of a friend who keeps tabs of the sub-lot owners. We managed to get his number from another friend. The tracking goes and several phone calls later we were directed to an address, 20 minutes away. He has the land title document (land grant) for the lot and after making a photocopy for himself he handed us the original. I never know of a person who is so easy and willing to part with such an important document, knowing that he is also a part owner. Hopefully with the title in hand, we'll be able to track our neighbour to negotiate for the purchase of this long 'abandoned' sub-lot.
Should this transfer become a reality, we planned turning that piece into a kitchen garden and playing area for the grandchildren to romp. We have four of them now with another on the way.
